Nope. Just a 4cyl and a V6 Diesel.

This is the base model spec.

PRICING INFORMATION and AVAILABILTY

In Europe, Africa, South America and other markets, though, the X-Class is a go. It will be sold as part of the Mercedes-Benz Vans division, and it's expected to go on sale in Europe this November, starting around €37,000 ($42,758). Other markets will see the X-Class starting in 2018 or 2019.

Its fate in the US is still uncertain. Back in February, Mercedes-Benz still wasn't sure if there was room for this truck in the US market. The full-size pickup segment is where all the money's at -- midsize pickups are still popular, but sell in far lower volumes. If it were to come here, Mercedes would need to build a new plant or retool an existing one in order to satisfy perceived US demand.

>>17559982
That's actually pretty nice looking, not over-the-top. I'd drive a diesel version.

$42,758 for a base model light pickup is fucking insane.

and in the US market?
If it won't be sold in the country of pick up trucks, then into the trash it goes with the Volkswagen Amarok

If this came to the US and Canadian market, would you buy it?

What are your opinions on the vehicle?

>>17560014
Includes sales/value added tax. Burger friendly price before taxes would be around $31k. And it's a standard diesel which is an expensive option on midsize trucks offered in the US.

I'm getting a VW Up vibe from those tail lights.

>>17559931
Why is there so many damn threads being made about this?

>>17560034
No, until now Mercedes Benz is not considering the X-Class for the NA market.

Benz ain't sure about the market for the truck in NA because the NA market is dominated with fullsize indigenous trucks by Ford, Dodge, Chevy etc so they are not taking the risk for now.

>>17560038
no

too expensive, not enough power, no brand recognition of workhorse reliability,

Theres literally no reason why you would get an X class over a GMC sierra denali

>>17560041
Excuse me, price before taxes would be around 31k€, which is around $36k.

>>17560009
>HALOGENS

Just get the fucking Nissan this is based off of, goddamn.

>>17560053
Except that a Sierra Denali starts at $16k more, or almost one and a half times the price of this thing.

>>17560050
OP has a good reason. None of those threads provide any info on the truck.

>>17560038
If I wanted luxury in a truck, I'd buy a GMC, the top-trim level Chevy Silverado, F150 Platinum etc. I'm sure these mentioned trucks will last longer than this pile of merc unreliable shit.

>>17560014
keep in mind that it includes 19%VAT
a VW Amarok starts at 41k€ $47k (comes with a v6 diesel and AWD others start at RWD and 4cyl)
a Ford ranger at 28k€ $32k
Toyota Hilux at 25k€ $29k
and the Nissan Navara it is apparently based on at 27k€ $31k
so it's at the upper end of the market but not really overpriced

>>17560071
>buy American truck
>engine lasts forever
>the rest of it falls apart over time

>>17560057
an X class would start at mid 40k and a fully optioned one would be mid 50s guaranteed.

A 1500 denali also has a gasoline v8 with 420 horsepower and 460 lb/ft or you can get a diesel V8 with 445 horsepower and 910lb/ft (NINE HUNDRED) on the 2500 denali for the same price as a loaded X class

>>17560080
>buy Yurop truck
>body/chassis lasts forever
>engine falls apart over time

You just can't win.

>>17559931
That very ugly, how much does it weigh.

>>17560080
Atleast it's going to be cheaper in the long run.

>>17560080
>>17560092
Might as well buy an X-Class and a Denali then, to be prepared.

>>17560086
I've already said that the X-Class minus included value added tax is equal to around $36k. You can't possibly option out the X-Class far enough to make it as expensive as the STARTING price of a Denali. In fact a diesel Denali 2500 is SIXTY EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS.

>>17560120
>you cant possibly option out a mercedes over 60k

>>17560110
That's a Jeep, not every truck.

>>17559982
Damn that actually looks good in this way.

>>17560127
It's a rebadged fucking Nissan, what options would there be to make it almost twice as expensive? We're not talking about an AMG E-Class here.

>>17560142
Every midsize crewcab has a bed this size, including the Colorado, the Tacoma and the very Frontier that the X-Class is based off.

And most private truck owners have nothing worth mentioning to haul in it anyway.

also Mercedes has a great recognition of workhorse reliability in europe where this will be sold

It won't even have a MB engine for fuck's sake.
It won't tow my race car trailer as well as mt F150
It won't go off road like my old G wagon

Not completely true. They both have a dual cab long box option. I think the Nissan frontier has that to. At least in the NA market.

Widest bed in it's class (it has a trunk too)

And it all made down south in Alabama.

Anyone else thing the Back end looks like shit in every color except black?

Also why isn't the rear axle further back? It looks retardo where it is

>>17563060
Axle position makes perfect sense on a single cab, and I guess they didn't want to build a different wheelbase frame for the crew cab. Nobody's going to haul mentionworthy weight with a crew cab, and these pickups are big enough and hard enough to manouver in Europe to begin with.

>>17559939
There prob may be an amg version like everything else

Possibly. Speaking of the matter, there's a German tuner that swaps the Touareg's V8 TDI into the Amarok, but the price of the damn thing is astronomical.

> 1. X220 - 4cyl - 164 horsepower and 176 lb-ft of torque

wat
those are terrible specs for a truck

>>17563098
If you're never going to haul anything it doesn't matter whether you're driving a 160 hp Mercedes or 420 hp F150 King Ranch. Mercedes merely adjust the power to the actual requirements of luxury trucks, which are NONE.

>>17563101

I had a 4cyl tacoma which was about 159hp, never hauled much, and just wanted to kms with the sluggish daily driving. Literally slower than a loaded uhaul truck. I can't imagine the X class being lighter by an significant means for 164hp to be acceptable in daily driving.

>>17560080
>>17560092
Buy merecedes, drive til engine dies, swap in American engine.

It's foolproof.

>>17563113
I drive a 1350 kg, 90 hp turbodiesel Toyota and it's not too bad. I can keep up with traffic and do 140 kph all day on the Autobahn. Flat out it does 180 kph. A 160 hp diesel truck can weigh 2400 kg for the same p/w ratio.

>>17560109

I love mercedes but this is stupid as fuck.

>>17563837
You're not allowed to tow 8 tonnes with a midsize truck anywhere in the world. It's a Nissan Navara/Frontier, so I expect the Euro tow rating to be 3,5 tonnes or 7700 lbs, no idea what the Frontier is rated for in the US.

>>17563098
300lb-ft is plenty for a normal person

>>17559939
It's a Nissan Frontier. Not enough room up front for a V8.
