About the Mercedes-Benz X-Class
Launched in 2017, the X-Class was Mercedes-Benz's ambitious entry into the premium pick-up segment, sharing its ladder-frame chassis and 2.3-litre diesel engine with the Nissan Navara. While it featured a significantly widened track, bespoke suspension tuning, and a more refined interior, it struggled to justify its premium price tag against established rivals. The X 250 d variant utilized a twin-turbocharged Renault-Nissan engine, providing respectable towing capacity but lacking the smoothness of the later V6 models. Production was terminated in May 2020 after just three years due to disappointing global sales and the perception that it was merely a rebadged Nissan.

Mercedes-Benz X-Class fun facts
- Despite its Mercedes badge, the X-Class was actually manufactured by Nissan at their plant in Barcelona, Spain.
- The X-Class was never officially sold in the United States, as Mercedes-Benz felt the mid-size luxury truck market was too niche for the region.
- To improve refinement over the Nissan Navara, Mercedes added significant sound insulation and widened the track by 70mm for better stability.
