The cooperation with Renault and especially beyond is bearing fruit more and more. In this case, it helps Mercedes to the first pickup ever. The Nissan Navara is a solid choice as a base. Nissan is said to be able to look back on a pickup tradition up to the year 1935.

The Nissan starts at 27,000 €, Daimler at a good 10,000 € more, from the brand outgoing not much for a far more than 5 meters long car with space for five people, a box with a ton payload and for in the class rare towing potential up to 3.5 tons. After all, the cheapest VW Amarok costs 41,000 €, but with V6.

The front will then offer recognition as a Mercedes, because the rest seems to be the same besides more width for bigger wheels, other rear lights and interior design. Not only the two immediately available four- cylinder, also the mid 2018 promised V6 come from the Nissan rack.

The simplest Pure version meets the requirements of tougher country life. In the Progressive and Power version it becomes more and more noble, already along the SUV line of Daimler, but also with the necessary independence. Inside, mixed feelings dominate the scene: noble materials, e.g. two leather versions on Nissan underground, only height-adjustable steering wheel with in the middle top Mercedes and down Nissan. 07/17
