| Home / Mercedes-Benz / List of Mercedes X-Class Models without Timing Belt
The Mercedes-Benz X-Class is a premium off-road pick-up truck marketed by Daimler Mercedes-Benz together with the Renault-Nissan alliance. The X-Class is based on the fourth-generation Nissan Navara (NP300 Navara or Nissan Frontier). This alliance also produced the Renault Alaskan, as well as the Chinese model Dongfeng Ruiqi 6. The latter is developed entirely by Nissan and is a “rebadging” by the Chinese marque, which has dozens of models produced by brands such as Honda or PSA.
Unlike the Navara or the Alaskan, the X-Class has engines that are not available in the French and Japanese versions. Specifically, the Mercedes-Benz X-Class has a variant with a 258 hp V6 engine (OM 642) developed entirely by Mercedes-Benz. This 3-liter block is available on the X-Class 350 d, is turbocharged and has common rail direct injection. The other engines fitted in the Navara and Alaskan are 4-cylinder in-line diesel (dCi) developed by Renault, with the most powerful variant reaching 190 hp. Another difference is that the Mercedes-Benz X-Class is only available in a double cab version and as a platform truck.
Among its finishes we find the Pure and Progressive versions. In addition, it is a highly customizable vehicle, being able to choose the way in which we are going to use the tipper. In the chassis variant (Platform Truck), it is even possible to acquire a camper version of this vehicle.
As it also happened in several markets with the Alaskan, the Mercedes X-Class was discontinued in mid-2020. The main reason was low sales, and Daimler preferred to devote more effort to the electrification of its car portfolio.
There is only one generation of the Mercedes-Benz X-Class. Some of its competitors are the Ford Ranger, the Mitsubishi L200, the Mazda BT-50, the Toyota Hilux, the Volkswagen Amarok and the RAM pickups, among others.
