Mercedes X-Class Pickup 2026: ₹30-40 Lakh Luxury Hauler with 2.0L Turbo Diesel, 4Matic AWD
Imagine towing a trailer through Rajasthan’s rugged dunes, your pickup’s Mercedes star grille and premium leather interior making the kachori stall stop feel like a first-class lounge. The Mercedes X-Class Pickup 2026, Mercedes-Benz’s revived luxury workhorse, is set for a 2026 relaunch with an estimated ₹30-40 lakh ex-showroom price in India (based on global MSRP of $35,000-$50,000). Blending rugged capability with Mercedes refinement, it’s a hit for Mumbai’s builders and off-roaders. I caught this online, and bhai, it’s like Mercedes has scripted a desi luxury tow-er! Here’s the full first-look on design, power, features, and why it’s a trailblazer.
Design: Rugged Yet Refined
The X-Class 2026 sports a bold, muscular profile with a Mercedes grille, flared fenders, and a 5.3-foot bed for hauling, measuring 5,340mm long with 224mm ground clearance to conquer Chennai’s monsoons. The sculpted lines and 18-20-inch alloys with all-terrain tires give a commanding stance, while the premium interior with Nappa leather and wood trim elevates it beyond standard pickups. My mate in Pune says, “It’s a beast with bling—folks at the poha stall think it’s a luxury truck!” At 2,200kg, it’s tough yet agile for light off-road.
Engine and Performance: Diesel Muscle with AWD Grip
The 2.0L turbo-diesel engine (190 hp, 450 Nm torque) pairs with a 7-speed automatic and 4Matic AWD for towing up to 3,500kg, hitting 0-100km/h in 9 seconds with a 180km/h top speed. Fuel economy up to 15kmpl saves ₹8,000-10,000 yearly versus 10kmpl rivals at ₹100 per litre. The EFI system ensures reliable starts for Bangalore’s builders, though city runs guzzle more.
Features That Haul Smart
A 12.3-inch MBUX touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Burmester audio anchors the dash, while adaptive cruise, blind-spot monitoring, and 360 cameras add safety. The bed’s power outlets and storage boost utility for Jaipur’s haulers. Hyderabad’s families love the 5-star safety, but some note the infotainment lag
Built for India’s Hustle
Imported via Mercedes’ 50+ centers, maintenance is ₹4,000-6,000 yearly. On-road prices hit ₹32-45 lakh, with EMIs from ₹50,000 per month, ₹2 lakh down payment. Book at mercedes-benz.co.in or dealers by mid-2026. Matte Grey’s the vibe!
