“Black is beautiful”. 

Mercedes-Benz is adding a new optional Black package to the X-Class range for the year 2020.

According to a report by MBPassion, the optional package is set to arrive in March and it is only meant for the brutal X350d 4Matic bakkies in either the Progressive Edition or Power Edition trims.

As its name suggests, it adds a blacked-out sidebar, black 18-inch wheels, black bar aft and a black headliner within the cabin.

Adding the Black Package, however, does limit the truck to one of five exterior paint colours: black, white, grey, blue, or silver.

Locally, the X350d employs a V6 engine replete with 190 kW of power and 550 Nm of torque. All that amount of power is accessible via a 7G-TRONIC automatic box plus a 4MATIC permanent all-wheel drive that provided excellent off-road capabilities.

It remains to be seen if the local arm of the three-pointed star will avail the Black package in SA.
