Competitive X-Class pricing announced

It’ll land on local shores only in May, but Mercedes-Benz South Africa has released the pricing of its eagerly awaited X-Class pickup.

A member of the Mercedes-Benz Vans family, the X-Class will be available in South Africa in two levels of trim, described by the company as:
