Nissan Rogue Dogue concept just sounds paw-fect

Nissan will be presenting its Rogue Dogue concept at the 2017 New York International Auto Show, and the one-off project vehicle takes a dogged approach in converting the SUV – which we know here as the X-Trail – into a fully canine-capable car.

The concept, which is based on a 2017 Rogue SL with a Platinum Reserve Interior Package, was built by Dennis McCarthy, the car coordinator for Fast & Furious films. Mods add on plenty of dog-friendly kit to help make travel with pets as pleasant and safe as possible.

The vehicle features a modified second-row/cargo area pass-through passageway to help with movement, complete with a removable pet partition, which can be placed between the areas. Safety is also addressed, with a dog first aid kit and secure leash fastening attachments to be found in the second row/rear cargo area.

Special equipment includes a secured, removable custom dog bed in the rear cargo area – which has heated air vents – and a slide-away dog ramp, which provides easy access to the rear compartment for small or elderly dogs.

The Rogue Dogue also features built-in, non-spill food and water dispensers, a sidewall-mounted poop bag dispenser, a 360-degree dog shower with a 38 litre pressurised water reserve and an integrated dog drying system, the latter featuring a compressed heated air dryer and outside hose attachment. Now, with something like this, every dog can surely have its day, no?

    Looking at the rise of dog owners in Malaysia, this car should be salable here. Oh not to mention for our K9 Unit too
