Mercedes-Benz recently confirmed that its bold new pickup truck would debut on October 25. Unfortunately, we now know that it’ll just be a concept version.
As the reveal date edges closer, the German automaker has dropped the first teaser of the pickup, believed to be dubbed the GLT. It confirms that the car initially presented will be a concept and that the model will adopt a similar shape to the Nissan Nivara on which it is based.
The image also reveals that the Mercedes pickup will be built with four doors, at least initially, and includes traditional pickup truck proportions as well as a sharp lip spoiler extended out over the tailgate.
Based on recent spy shots and videos, it seems apparent that the model will also have a familiar Mercedes-Benz front fascia with headlights similar to those of the brand’s ever-growing SUV range.
As the model will be based around the same architecture as the Nissan Navara, it is expected to receive the same selection of engines, meaning a 2.5-liter petrol, 2.3-liter diesel and 3.0-liter diesel V6 will be available.
Mercedes-Benz has previously said that the model will target customers in Latin America, Australia and South Africa.
