The new Mercedes X-Class will be produced at 30 000 units/year according to Inovev forecasts
- Mercedes has unveiled its X-Class pickup, which is in the medium-sized pickup segment, by the side of the Nissan Navara and Renault Alaskan from which it originated. This vehicle is a new fruit of the partnership between Daimler and Renault-Nissan.
- Mercedes did not have a medium-sized pick-up until today, while this market represents 2 million sales per year worldwide and the manufacturer expects a 40% growth of this market by 2025 (or 2.8 million sales at that date).
- The Mercedes X-Class pick-up (which could also be called GLT in some markets) will be marketed in 2017 in Europe and in 2018 in Australia, South Africa and South America. The Australian, South African and South American markets should be the main markets for the X-Class, which should remain a marginal model in Europe.
- Moreover, Mercedes is still considering the possibility of commercializing this model on the North American market,
as sales of medium-size pickups have decreased significantly in this region.
