I scratch my head with Mercedes as they could have actually made a decent go at it to differentiate it from the Navara and the rest of the Thai specials and archaic VW with the offerings from the rest of their range.
9 speed auto mated to low range.
2.0 turbo diesel with 150kw and 500nm
2.0 turbo petrol ranging from 190-265kw and 350-450nm
2.0 turbo petrol hybrid that averages 2.4l/100km in the C Class.
3.0 V6 petrol 270kw 500nm.
3.0 straight 6 diesel 240kw 700nm
Instead they gave us much of the same at a price premium in an already over priced mediocre segment where progress has stagnated since 2011 T6 Ranger release.

Merc actually did more work under the skin than they received credit for their X-class over Navara but it's things which definitely improved their version, just
not in areas where the buyer will immediately notice...plus it doesn't have enough drink cup holders...
