Nissan has gone rogue and unveiled the X-Trail Mountain Rescue concept at the Cervinia ski resort in Italy.

Designed to remind people to ski responsibly and exercise slope etiquette, the crossover has been transformed into the ultimate cold weather ambulance. As part of this effort, the X-Trail’s wheels have been replaced by snow tracks.
That isn’t the only change as the model has been outfitted with a roof rack that features emergency lights, a siren, and an evacuation stretcher. It can also carry skis or snow shovels.

Elsewhere, the X-Trail has been equipped with extended fender flares and heavy duty recovery points. The model also has a winch, auxiliary lights, and 9 inches (23 cm) of additional clearance.
The upgrades continue inside as the crossover sports a Garmin GPS as well as communications equipment from Motorola. Bigger changes occur in back as the rear seats have been removed to allow for the installation of a stretcher. That being said, the crossover features a rear facing medic seat.

Last but not least, there’s a storage cabinet that houses emergency supplies such as avalanche probes and thermal blankets. We can also see a compartment that holds a DJI drone.
While the concept was created to promote responsible skiing, it also highlights the X-Trail’s e-4ORCE all-wheel drive system. Nissan says it can “react to changing levels of grip in 1/10,000th of a second,” which is “approximately 1000 times quicker than a traditional all-wheel drive system.” It can also adjust power distribution based on grip.
