his Mercedes X 250 is built to intimidate. Wrapped head-to-toe in a brutal matte black finish, it looks like it’s been carved out of the night, sitting hard on 20-inch gloss black alloys wrapped in all-terrain tyres that mean business on any surface. The full body kit gives it a wide, planted stance, while the roof-mounted triple pod LED lights and rear canopy complete that no-nonsense, off-grid look. Inside, it’s just as serious – half black leather with heated seats, loaded with sat nav, DAB, reverse camera and all the tech you actually want, this X 250 doesn’t shout for attention, it demands it. Aggressive, fully kitted and finished properly, this is not a standard truck – it’s a statement. no vat
