2018 Mercedes X Class Truck Accessories Program – Video
Mercedes-Benz had an in-house team of designers and developers create an extensive range of accessories especially for the X-Class. These enable the design and functionality of the pickup to be customised to an even greater extent. This range is provided by Mercedes-Benz Accessories and comprises styling, loading and off-road solutions. It will be expanded successively, especially for off-road use.
Styling bar
The styling bar gives the X-Class an even sportier and more progressive character. With a diameter of 76 millimetres, the pipes are made of stainless steel – highly-polished or painted black. The third brake light is integrated into the styling bar. This does not affect the standard lighting for the load bed. The styling bar is attached to the load compartment sill and can therefore be combined with other Mercedes-Benz accessories.
Sports bar
The sports bar is available in all vehicle colours. With its individual look, it blends perfectly into the vehicle design and intensifies the X-Class’s dynamic and sporty appeal. The third brake light is integrated into the sports bar. The sports bar will be available as from the summer of 2018 – separately or in combination with the roll cover, which additionally secures the load against theft.
Side bar steel The side bar with step gives the X-Class an even more rugged character and makes it safer to climb in and out without slipping. Able to bear up to 150 kilograms, the diameter of the pipes is 76 millimetres. The side bar is available in polished steel or painted black. In terms of design, the side bar and styling bar are perfectly matched – for a consistent overall look. The side bar will be available from early 2018.
Canopy
Painted in the vehicle colour, the canopy continues the lines of the X-Class’s design, merging with the vehicle body to create a distinctive silhouette. It also increases the cargo volume, protects the load against theft and is watertight, weatherproof and dustproof. The lift-up window on the front passenger side is operated using a pushbutton at the front of the canopy. On the driver’s side there is a pop-out window to let fresh air into the interior. As a result, the canopy is ideal for transporting pet dogs, for example. The rear window also opens using a pushbutton. This renders handles superfluous. All the windows have tinted glass. The canopy is lined on the inside and LED lighting. The canopy can be provided with roof railing as an option. This matches the vehicle’s main roof railing perfectly. With the roof railing, the canopy can bear a roof load of 150 kilograms. Without roof railing the load is 75 kilograms.
Loading solutions
Bed liner
The black plastic liner protects the load bed from dirt and scratches and thus makes loading and unloading easier. It goes under the load compartment sill and is therefore compatible with all covers and the load-securing rails.
Bed divider system The moveable partition makes it possible to compartmentalise the loading area to best effect. The partition is made of anodised aluminium and attaches to the load-securing rails. This prevents the load from shifting out of place.
Load-securing rails in the floor As standard, the X-Class has four load-securing points (PURE line) or load-securing rails (PROGRESSIVE and POWER) on the sides of the load bed. Load-securing rails in the floor are available as an accessory for all design and equipment lines. These conform to the DIN 75410/DIN EN 12640 standard with a maximum tensile force of 400 kilograms per lashing point.
Soft tonneau cover
The black soft tonneau cover is a reasonably priced, flexible covering solution. It is watertight, weatherproof, tear-resistant and can be rolled up. When rolled up it can be attached to two loops. The soft tonneau cover will be available with and without the styling bar from early 2018.
Hard tonneau cover
Available in the vehicle colour, the hard tonneau cover protects the load against theft as well as from the effects of the weather. It is weatherproof, watertight and dust-repellent. Inside there is LED lighting which switches on and off automatically. A pressurised mechanism means it is easy to open and close. The lockable hard tonneau cover is available with and without the styling bar.
Roll cover
The roll cover comprising aluminium profiles protects the load against theft. It is waterproof as well as water-repellent and dust-repellent. It can be fastened in multiple opening positions and combined with the styling bar or the sports bar.
Storage box This roomy, lockable and scratchproof box has a capacity of 156 litres and protects the contents from the effects of the weather and from theft. It is rainproof and easy to clean – including with a pressure washer or in a car wash. Attached to the load bed’s side load-securing rails, it can be positioned anywhere in a longitudinal direction. The storage box will be available from early 2018.
