The Nissan X-Trail 4Dogs is a Concept Car for Dog Owners

Owning a car is not a necessary part of being a pet parent, but a car for dog owners certainly helps them take their furry friends on the best adventures. With this in mind, Nissan unveiled a special version of its X-Trail and is calling this concept the X-Trail 4Dogs.

This 7-seat pet- and family-friendly 4x4 vehicle boasts many features that make it ideal for trips with one's animal companions. It includes a 360-degree dog shower that can be set up outside of the vehicle, an interior drying system, a slide-out ramp for loading and unloading, plus a no-spill water bowl and a smart pet treat dispenser. On top of this, the car for dog owners also boasts tons of additional storage space for the rest of the family's adventures.
