The testing authority tell us the X-Class recorded a strong 90% Adult Occupant Protection score, and 87% Child Occupant Protection score.
While Pedestrian Protection was 80% and a 77% grading was bestowed on the ute for Safety Assist tech.

Mercedes-Benz welcomed the top safety score.
The X-Class owes this result above all to its especially sturdy body with high-strength passenger cell and a structure with front and rear ends capable of absorbing energy through selective deformation, as well as with an exceptionally large number of safety systems for the mid-size pickup segment.
