We're just days away from seeing a production version of the Mercedes-Benz double-cab bakkie. With the international reveal about to happen, the Germans have released a teaser video to whet our appetites.

Rumours are rife that this new model from Mercedes-Benz will be called the GLT, but nothing has officially been confirmed. It will be built on the new Nissan Navara platform, but will feature luxury appointments and technology.Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle division head Volker Mornhinweg revealed last year at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show that the “GLT”will be produced in 3specification levels and only as a double-cab. It is expected that turbopetrol and –diesel powerplants will be offered in 4- and 6-cylinder guises and that there will be a choice between 6-speed manual and 7-speed automatic transmissions.

The Mercedes-Benz bakkie will be assembled at the Daimler-owned and Renault-Nissan Alliance plants in Spain and Argentina, and will go on sale in 2017. Target markets include Australia, Europe, Latin America and South Africa.
