The flagship model in the Mercedes-Benz X-Class 2018 model range is the Power, which gets chrome-accented bumpers and 18-inch alloy wheels to set it apart from the pack, plus LED headlights and tail-lights.

Other Power goodies include... er... power-folding side mirrors, 'Artico' (fake leather)-trimmed instrument panel with contrast stitching, Artico and 'Dinamica' (microsuede) seat trim, an 8.4-inch 'Comand Online' multimedia system, power front seats with lumbar support, a 360-degree camera system, semi-automated park assist, dual-zone climate control and keyless entry/start.

The Power model can only be had as a pick-up, and the manual will set you back $61,600, while the auto is listed at $64,500.
