AutoExec Summary
The modern ute, like the Mercedes-Benz X-Class, must serve as a family car, luxury vehicle, and workhorse. The X-Class offers Mercedes styling, a classy interior, and standard autonomous emergency braking but lacks engine power and has an unresolved ride. Built on the Nissan Navara platform, it features a 2.3-litre twin-turbo diesel engine and the option of a six-speed manual or seven-speed automatic transmission. While the X-Class has premium features and better safety, it’s not a significant leap in the dual-cab ute segment.
Brands mentioned: Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Volkswagen, Toyota.
