Mercedes-Benz X-Class ute dropped

AutoExec Summary
The Mercedes-Nissan dual-cab ute experiment has been officially axed after three years. Mercedes-Benz confirmed the end of its partnership with Nissan to produce the X-Class, with production ceasing in May. The decision was made due to lack of demand for the X-Class in the competitive ute segment. Despite attracting attention, global sales were low, prompting the discontinuation. Mercedes-Benz Australia will continue to sell existing X-Class stock until depleted, maintaining service and warranty coverage. The future of the X-Class had been uncertain for months, with plans for production in Argentina also scrapped.

Brands mentioned: Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Toyota, Ford, Mitsubishi
