After so many speculations about a discontinue, the second-gen 2021 Mercedes X-Class pickup truck is in the works. According to some news, new generations will bring more changes. The design will be improved, and the new pickup will host more premium materials inside.
Thanks to its bolder grille and high sculptured LED headlights, this model is very recognized on the road. Generally, this is the only pickup truck from this manufacturer. With just 16,700 sales in Europe, Australia, and South Africa last year, the first-generation model didn’t make enough income that the manufacturer expected. So, we can expect that second-generation will lure many buyers.

2021 Mercedes X-Class Exterior Changes and Updates
The upcoming 2021 Mercedes-Benz X-Class is a luxury pickup truck that looks attractive and strong. Like before, the new model will share a ladder frame and many parts with the Nissan Navara model. However, X-class is the world’s most competitive pickup-truck in this segment. It looks more substantial than the Navara model, and it is longer by 2.8 inches.
The X-class is an excellent pickup truck that dominates in every segment. Front of this model has recognized thanks to the massive grille and LED headlights design similar to nowadays Benz’s SUV models. On the back, the X-class is a very different vehicle from the Navara.

The steering and headling are suitable for a pickup but don’t expect the X-class to reach even SUV standards for handling prowess.

Safety
Safety remains to be a highlight of this model. X-Class will come with active brake and lane-keeping assist, traffic sign recognition, trailer stability assist, and an emergency call system.
