The Mercedes X-Class sits at the more premium end of the pickup truck market, making it a rival for the Volkswagen Amarok. It doesn’t just appeal to the tradesmen of the world, it’s also aimed at families, fashionistas, outdoor hobbyists, and even people who currently drive a premium SUV but are looking for something a bit different.

Rebadged vehicles never work. Sad MBZ bought into this. They should fire the exec who approved this project

weirdshibainu very true so like a navara,the new Amarok looks and feel more luxurious in a pick up

Car Freak I disagree. Higher end car buyers are some of the most educated car buyers about their brands in the market. I use to sell BMWs....you had to know your product and the competition's product inside and out. Benz buyers will know what this really is. I think it'll go away after a couple of years

Car Freak actually they didnt.....suvs took off almost immediately. They were a new product category, not a rebadge

Awesome review. But guess you haven't tried the new Honda Ridgeline why you say luxury is missing, or big three American truck top models.

"Fashionistas" drive pickup trucks because they lend credibility/authenticity to their otherwise thin veneer; which the Mercedes lacks.

Built by and in the Nissan factory so premium potential undermined. Discovery Commercial with rear seat conversion only premium option for commercials. VW commercial treat customers like shit especially on trade in valuations so why buy an Amarok when they cost the same as a Land Rover!

I'm glad some one else sees through the VW Anorak bullshit, it goes fast buy it also falls apart.

That dash board looks typically Merc cheap and tacky with those horrible plastic X air vents, give me genuine Nissan Navarra or Ford Ranger any day. As with all Merc's over rated and over priced.

Cristian Chavira Because the Nissan diesels in it are rather industrial and made for durability and lugging heavy stuff around. I agree that there should be some faster options, at least the x350d next year will be better.

I know MB has been building trucks, but those are for commercial not your regular Nissan or Ford F-150's. Mind you this is a rebadging of a likely Nissan made truck. This degrades the brand of MB. Even BMW don't do that.

@441meatloaf 6 жыл бұрын

Well SUV is a bit different than a truck. Jaguars and Bentley have SUV's and that's fine actually as it still can be marketed as a luxury SUV. But the word "truck" is synonymous with being cheap and tough kinda like how Ford advertises their F150's. So MB having this truck in their line of vehicles isn't necessarily a good image for the brand. Hence none of the other luxury brands like Audi, Jaguar even go that far in trying to get attraction to a different customer base. If people wanted to buy a better truck they should just go to Toyota.

When people think of Ford, luxury is definitely not a word that comes to mind. But Toyota does have one of the toughest truck than even ford has, its called the Hilux. You may think the world is changing, but for sure people that buys mercedes don't expect themselves to be purchasing a M badged branding on a truck. People buy Benz because of the image, the truck is not really a good image enhancer for people that buy these cars. Mind you in that luxury world it is all about face and image. No one in the right mind spending that kind of money would buy a truck even over a C class. And you said it yourself, Cadilac had a truck, but then no more as it actually cheapened the brand.
