This Tracked Motor Show Concept Is Easily The Coolest Nissan X-Trail Ever Built

Swap its wheels for tracks and even the X-Trail's outstanding normality becomes cool. Nissan has built this awesome, fully-working concept for the New York motor show

This is probably the only Nissan X-Trail we’d actually buy, and what a thing! Called the Rogue Trail Warrior, it’s essentially an X-Trail body plonked on top of Dominator tracks. Because why not?

The concept, which will be displayed at the New York International Auto Show, has modified suspension and wheel arches that allow it to use the tracks. Amazingly, it still runs on the same 2.5-litre normally-aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine found in the regular American X-Trail.

The tracks themselves are 48 inches long, 30 inches high and 15 inches wide, so you probably wouldn’t get it through a British drive-through, but you could at least rest assured that you could go pretty much anywhere else you wanted to get to, in all weathers.

Factor in the winch at the front, the five comfortable seats and a decent boot and this id definitely the X-Trail you’d want to own when the apocalypse comes. Nissan’s Michael Bunce seems quite pleased with it. He said:

“This new Rogue Trail Warrior adds a new dimension to family adventures with its snow/sand tracks, gear basket, winch and camo paint.

“If you want to stand out from the crowd during a day on the slopes or the beach, this is the vehicle to take.”

Thing is, it probably doesn’t handle very well, and we can’t really imagine it has much of a top speed, what with the overheating issues normally associated with little tracks running on Tarmac. You’d have to be prepared to drive everywhere – anywhere – at tank speed. Not that anyone this side of the military is going to stop you…

They didn’t even try really. They just threw on 700lbs in tracks and another 300 in yellow clingwrap. Did they at least beef up the engine? Nope, same 2.5 fourbanger as stock. Shoulda gave it the 5.6 V8 from the Armada/QX80 or at least a VQ. Ken Block’s Raptor would eat this thing alive. Step up the game, Nissan! An Armada would’ve been a better choice for this concept.
