Buying the best ute for you is dependent on so many factors. All new for 2018 and based on the Mercedes Benz X-Class and is the first all purpose Ute by the company for the masses. The Triton is one of our favourite ute&#8217;s due to it&#8217;s relatively low price and specification. So is the Triton better than the X-Class?<\/p>\n<p>Mitsubishi Triton vs Mercedes-Benz X-Class exterior comparison: The X-Class is a good looking ute but we still don&#8217;t see it as truly something different from the Navara, except from the front end. The Triton is it&#8217;s own design and unique in the Ute class and deserves credit for trying something different yet acceptable. In the end we like the X-Class better as it has better proportions although ultimately conservative.<\/p>\n<p>Mitsubishi Triton vs Mercedes-Benz X-Class interior comparison: The X-Class has a great interior, it&#8217;s one of the best in the class that blends commercial, passenger comfort and design. It does resemble the A Class sedan interiors but with lower quality materials. The Triton nice is decent but it&#8217;s modern enough but when compared to the X-Class is cheaper feeling. \u00a0Definitely prefer the X-Class interior but remember that the base models are hard plastic equipped.<\/p>\n<p>Mitsubishi Triton vs Mercedes-Benz X-Class street engine and technology comparison: Engines and safety systems are pretty much equal between the two models. However the X-Class can be optioned with Auto-brakes but should be standard for the price difference. The two diesel engines are the same bar the number of turbos which we think is bordering on a rip off. The X-Classe&#8217;s integrated stereo system is nice to look and sounds good for a standard system but without the Harmon Kardon setup it&#8217;s not a whole lot different to the Triton which is easily upgradeable. The Triton still has the most advanced 4WD system in the class which needs to be noted and a huge tick to private buyers. Furthermore the ability to customise the interior and infotainment system will appeal any younger tradie and fleet purchasers.<\/p>\n<p>Mitsubishi Triton vs Mercedes-Benz X-Class street cred comparison: Street cred for a Mercedes Benz car is clear and it is hard to beat but it&#8217;s commercial vehicle range is not in the same league. It&#8217;s price and lack of reliability history means it&#8217;s expensive for the sake of being expensive which doesn&#8217;t really work. Although it looks nice it has no more street cred than the Triton.<\/p>\n<p>The winner of the Mitsubishi Triton vs Mercedes-Benz X-Class comparison is the Triton. It is hard to beat the Mitsubishi Triton for value and specification in any comparison. The Triton is worth buying if you want a ute regardless of the available money factor and if you don&#8217;t consider a Mitsubishi badge any worse than the Mercedes badge. Furthermore as long as auto-brakes are an option on the X-Class and it&#8217;s price is significantly higher it&#8217;s hard for it win any comparison. You would only choose an X-Class for it&#8217;s perceived brand value or street cred.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<table style=\"width: 700px; height: 1267px;\" border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"height: 29px;\">\n<td style=\"text-align: left;
