The X-Class is Merc’s first attempt at a luxury bakkie, but this Maybach-inspired version by Carlex Design adds a lot more to the package.

We recently showed you the Brabus Mercedes-Benz X-Class and based on reactions on social media, people weren’t too convinced by it. Well, perhaps this X-Class Yachting Edition by Carlex Design will do the trick?

Does the idea of a blinged-up Mercedes-Benz X-class appeal to you?

Carlex took a standard X-Class and fitted it with features inspired by ultra-luxurious Mercedes-Maybach vehicles. In this particular case, the X-Class’ grille and wheels took inspiration from the Maybach S650 Coupe and it comes fitted with a carbon fibre body kit which includes the bumpers, wheel arches, mirror casings, rear tail light housings, roof-mounted spoiler and bonnet cover. The bespoke look is finished off with a load bed featuring a teak floor.

The combination of wood, leather and sporty Recaro seats seems to work well in this X-Class Yachting Edition.

On the inside, Recaro seats givethe X-Class a sportier feel while the wood theme is carried over to the dashboard. Leather is used extensively throughout the cabin including the seats and door panels while the headliner is in Alcantara. The steering wheel has been reshaped and laser-engraved emblems are found throughout the cabin.

How much does will the X-Class Yachting Edition treatment set you back? A whopping R1.65 million, which includes the cost of the X-Class, of course.
