The humble ute could soon slow the SUV boom – although Mercedes-Benz's first pickup, the X-Class, is shaping up to be anything but humble.
Mercedes-Benz is planning to capitalise on a forecasted 39 percent global growth of mid-sized pickups – from 2.0 million to 2.8 million - with its all-new X-Class, the first luxury ute in a segment dominated by the likes of the Toyota HiLux and Ford Ranger.
Due in Australia in 2018, the X-Class is the first ute from Mercedes-Benz and a car the company believes will undergo a transformation akin to SUVs over the past couple of decades.
