Mercedes-Benz has confirmed it will end production of its X-Class premium pick-up in May, citing low global demand. The Ford Ranger rival has been in production for just two years, but rumours of its demise began to circulate in 2019 as the company embarked on a wide-reaching cost-cutting drive.
Also know, why was the X-Class discontinued? The axing is being blamed on lack of demand for the X-Class, which has struggled to gain a real foothold in the competitive dual-cab ute segment since its introduction three years ago. In October, Benz confirmed the X-Class’ future was “under review”.
Also, is Mercedes X class being discontinued? It’s been rumoured for months, but now it is official: Mercedes-Benz is to end production of its X-Class pickup in May 2020.
Furthermore, can you get a Mercedes X class in the US? For its first year of production, and probably for a few years after that, the X-Class is only going to be available on four continents. Unfortunately, North America is not one of them. Next year, the 2018 Mercedes-Benz X-Class will be released in South African, Australia, Latin America, and Africa.
