That's big money, who will pay $68,990 (so well over $70K on road) for an X 250d when it has the same engine as the Navara but is over 200kg heavier (0-100km/h in 11.8)
The V6 is going to be well over $80K on road.

Dealer reveals starting price for new Benz pick-up
Your new ute, with a three-pointed star on the grille, will cost you a minimum of $48,000. That, in broad terms, is where pricing for the base model X-Class cab chassis starts, according to a reader who was provided the pricing information ahead of its official release.
In a comment posted yesterday in response to Bruce Newton's news story concerning the order bank for the new Mercedes X-Class, reader 'Graeme' revealed that the pricing information has been with Benz dealers "for a few weeks now".
After leaving a deposit for an X 350d five months ago, Graeme received a courtesy call from his dealer, advising the pricing details. The X 350d Power will cost $78,990 before options and on-road costs, the salesperson revealed. For the X 250d Power the price is $68,990, also before the on-roads and options.
While fitted as standard with plenty of nice kit, the X-Class in the Power grade can still be ordered with a plethora of options, including a 19-inch alloy wheel pack for $2000 (in lieu of the standard 18-inch alloys), a leather trim pack for $2000, a hard tonneau for $3000 and metallic paint for $990. It didn't take too many options, according to Graeme, before the price of his X 350d was up around $95,000 or higher.
Mercedes-Benz was approached for a response, but hadn't replied in time for publication.
