If the standard Mercedes-Benz X-Class doesn’t stand out enough for you, might we suggest ordering a body kit from Carlex Design, based in Poland.

Carlex Design has a few body kits available, but the one that interests us is the Yachting Edition, which is meant to give the X-Class a Maybach-like look.

The body kit includes the grille from a Mercedes-Maybach and a teak-lined load bin.

On the inside it comes with Recaro seats, added leather and wood, a fancier steering wheel and Alcantara trimmings.

The cost of owning one of these is around R1.7 million at the current exchange rate.

It never felt like it was working hard, and after 2 400 kilometres, neither did I.
