The new and eagerly-anticipated Mercedes 4x4 pick-up looks set to make its debut in the metal at the Paris Show in October 2016. That's according to sources, who have confirmed a concept version is planned 'near the end of the year'.

The show debut could be as much as a year ahead of the new model - probably called the X Class - going on sale, and even then it's the left-hand-drive markets who'll get their vehicles first.

An official sketch had been released last year, now these vary first spy-shots reveal the pick-up will use familiar Mercedes styling cues like a wide grille, swept-back headlights and curvy front wings. The overall design shares key similarities with Mercedes’ range of SUVs like the recently revealed GLE and GLE Coupe, and features a double-cab arrangement on a ladder chassis with a single cab under consideration. Towards the rear, there are slim taillights either side of a wide tailgate and the rear bumper can be removed to aid the loading of large objects.

Under its skin, the new Mercedes will share much of its platform engineering with the latest Nissan Navara pick-up truck. The Nissan comes with a single 2.3-litre diesel under the bonnet, but the Mercedes newcomer will likely offer four- and six-cylinder petrol and diesel engines paired with manual and automatic transmissions. There's even a petrol-hybrid variant mooted to arrive later as Mercedes attempts to secure top-dog status in the pick-up sector.

Inside Mercedes is keen to make the pick-up feel like any other passenger car in its range, so we can expect a familiar design and focus on technology seen on the recent Mercedes V-Class MPV. Posh features like a floating tablet-like central screen and the latest active safety and driver assistance are expected, but to make sure the pick-up can handle a rugged way of life, it’ll more than likely use tough plastics as well.

The new, as-yet unnamed pick-up will sit alongside the existing Mercedes-Benz light commercial vehicle range of Sprinter, Vito and Citan vans. And just like the Vito panel van and V-Class MPV, it’s believed Mercedes will offer two versions of the pick-up for different markets: Commercial and a plusher high-spec model for passenger car duties – the latter featuring big car equipment like leather and wood trim.

The new pick-up will not only widen Mercedes’ car and passenger model range, but will also allow the German company to take a share of the lucrative pick-up market which currently accounts for 2.3 million sales globally. It’s thought Volkswagen’s decision to enter the sector with the Amarok in 2010 has forced Mercedes’ hand – the Amarok set new standards in the class by being a step-up in image over the likes of the Mitsubishi L200 and Ford Ranger, and it taps into a growing trend of buyers wanting pick-ups with more car-like features.

With its new pick-up, Mercedes is expected to do what it did with the M-Class two decades ago – help to redefine the segment by offering a product that focuses more on comfort and luxury but that still offers a decent slug of off-road ability and ruggedness.

Mercedes’ styling studios in the USA and in Asia all submitted sketches but the final design was from Mercedes’ Sindelfingen studio. It’s expected to reach Mercedes van dealerships by the end of 2017 and the X-Class name has been touted for the truck.
