Nissan Has Created the Ultimate Dog-Friendly Crossover Concept for Families

The bespoke boot space is packed with features to improve comfort and welfare for up to two dogs. This car has been created following an owner survey from the Kennel Club, the largest organisation for promoting dog health and welfare. The survey shows that 90% of people want cars with more dog friendly features. Almost every dog owner considers their pet to be part of the family. To meet their demands, Nissan has unveiled a unique new model – the X-Trail 4Dogs, demonstrating that its flagship crossover is the perfect car for family adventures, particularly ones involving those with four legs. One of the highlights of the X-Trail 4Dogs concept includes a two-way ‘dog cam’, water shower, dryer and access ramp.

Watch the Nissan X-Trail 4Dogs concept in action below:

The features of the new car are:

The boot has been turned into a dog haven, 445 litres in size with a suite of innovative new features, accomodating up to two animals.
The Nissan X-Trail 4Dogs has everything required to keep canines clean and comfortable after a long, muddy walk. Wash them off with the 360° pull-out shower, then swap for the dog dryer which delivers a jet of air to the wet fur. Pull out the slide-away ramp so the dogs can walk up into the boot – allowing owners to stay completely mud-free – then turn on the integrated drying system which supplies warm air into the boot space.
The dogs can settle down into the luxurious bed, helping themselves to a drink from the no-spill water bowl or take a snack from the smart dog treat dispenser. Safety in transit is taken care via a clip-on harness hook.
‘Dog-cam’ technology has been installed which has been integrated in to the NissanConnect infotainment system, enabling the owner’s to view their pets whilst driving. The owner can also talk to the dog via an audio link to keep it calm.
Attachments for the shower and dryer are stored in a new pull-out utility drawer, easily accessible at the front of the boot. New side compartments have been added to ensure the area remains clutter-free, and can be used for storing treats, waste bags and a lead. The X-Trail 4Dogs also features a dog guard above the rear seats – a genuine Nissan accessory available for purchase.
The whole boot has been upholstered in premium wipe-clean leather so any stray dirt or pet hair can easily be cleaned or removed.

Smith Holdings (Ilkeston) Limited, trading as Smiths of Ilkeston, Smiths Vauxhall and Smiths Motor Group, F.P. Smith Motors Limited, trading as Smiths Nissan, Smiths Vauxhall and Smiths Motor Group to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor.

Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase.

Different lenders pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.

In the event of disputes we are unable to resolve the Retail Motor Industry Federation (RMI) National Conciliation Service will offer free impartial advice and when appropriate an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) service that we are fully committed to. For further information you can visit their website at www.nationalconciliationservice.co.uk or call 01788 538317.

All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required.
