In Pure style package, the pick-up truck will be perfect for work purposes; in Progressive style package one will get a smarter vehicle with countless body-colored models and on the other hand, the Power style package is designed to bring a more aggressive look.

Mercedes-Benz put their hands for the first time in designing and producing Pick-up truck and since the brand is famous for its lavish and outstanding models, so it’s not possible that Mercedes will introduce a model with a normal design. That is the reason why the Mercedes-Benz X-Class model is simply an astonishing one. Head of Mercedes-Benz vans Volker Mornhinweg said that “X-Class will redefine the pickup into a true premium vehicle”.
