When it comes to automotive success stories, it is fair to say that X didn’t really mark the spot for Mercedes-Benz. The brand’s much hyped and highly anticipated pickup ended production in May this year, less than three years after being launched.

I think if Mercedes X-Class had the V6 at launch, it would still be around.

It should have been 20-30% cheaper from the beginning

Great review - short, sharp, covered all relevant points, (very) well presented.

i bought one in March and it is fantastic. Immediately before it i had an STX Navara with the 4 cylinder engine, before that i had the V6 STX 550 Navara and before that an SR5 Hilux. I have also had a Ford ranger Wildtrak . All of these cars i have bought from brand new. The X350 D is by a huge gap better than all of them. It is the first Ute that i actually love driving. The acceleration , especially in sports mode is amazing and it the most comfortable ute ride i have ever had.

@@_TenaciousD_ I bought one of these X350d with all the features for 72K on road ...it replaced STX 550( 280 kms)th i loved it that had been remapped, 3" exhaust and snorkel fitted. The merc goes better stock sraight off the lot. Also got 5 year warranty and 3 year servicing included. I wasn't going to trade down from a V6 to a one of the many 4 cylinder options, and I wanted low range. so there was only one option and when the price came down i jumped . so happy i did It is a pleasure to drive. Scotty from marketing gave me all the GST straight back an instant asset write off..too good to pass up

Haven’t found one for less than 75k. Would consider for mid 60k but anything over that and the inclusions fall short of competition. Adaptive cruise control is a minimum these days, along with emergency breaking.

A lesson in we should have had the right product from the start (the V6) and clearly when they skipped the customer clinics they missed the buyers falling over when quotes came in over 90k. Had they stuck to the V6 and priced it right, might have been different story. I am guessing the resale will be a wrist slitting exercise....

@Rhyseh1 3 жыл бұрын

@@brendanjarvis2306 that's fair. They're a nice looking unit. It will be interesting to see what the resale market for these will look like in 5 to 10 years. They'll either drop sharply in value or be desirable by virtue of being rare. Personally I'd still go with the more popular models. I see a vehicle as a tool/toy that I use for work and leisure. So to me I don't see having a rarer vehicle as a positive, but rather a negative, especially in remote areas. Less aftermarket support, less people with experience working on the platform, parts cost more and aren't as readily available. Seems like a big compromise for very little benefit.
