The Mercedes-Benz X-Class brings a new level of badge cachet to the dual-cab ute market. It's very refined and sports a great cabin design, but is not without its flaws.
Given the substantial sales growth of dual-cab pick-ups in recent years, it should surprise no-one that ever more manufacturers are wading into the segment for a cut of the action.
Highest profile of these additions is that most august of luxury car brands, Mercedes-Benz, which has just launched its X-Class, derived in large part from partner Nissan.
The fact that Mercedes has used the familiar NP300/D23 Navara as its starting point, rather than going for a clean-sheet design, suggests this first X-Class is a toe in new waters, much like the first ML-Class SUV of the 1990s was (hat tip to Kez Casey for that parallel).
