2024 Nissan X-Trail Crawler concept bound for Tokyo Auto Salon

Nissan has handed down images of a tough-looking concept called the X-Trail Crawler, bound for this weekend's Tokyo Auto Salon.

Finished in a fairly rad '90s-looking fluoro red and green theme, the Crawler is jacked up on black 17-inch Sunraysia-style wheels wrapped in properly fat off-roading tyres.

Above those are some bench-style flares, while underbody bash guards are bolted to every side of the SUV.

Nissan says: "The exterior represents a world of rock-crawling, running through steep and rough terrain, and the luggage area contains the tools that have always been looked for in the X-Trail."

It's been a long time since the X-Trail was anybody's idea of a go-to off-roader, but this concept at least looks the part.

Still, every brand wants you to think of their modern car-based SUVs as being capable of the task, with software-tricked terrain modes available to help with some basic off-roading.

Apart from the the raised suspension and lower protection sections, this X-Trail is a standard all-wheel-drive E-Power variant – which you can read about at our X-Trail page.

A facelift for the X-Trail was revealed in October 2023, in its American-market Rogue form, but the local Nissan office has so far said that it has no imminent plans for an updated X-Trail.
