Just last week, we got our first glimpse of the Nissan Titan Warrior Concept, which was revealed at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. What we didn’t know at the time — and which, admittedly, we were maybe a little too excited to be bothered with — was that there was another auto show going on at the same time, this one in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. And although we didn’t receive a notarized invite to this show, we did receive a look at a special edition of one of our favorite models, the Nissan Rogue Warrior Concept. Keep ‘em coming, Nissan. We’re really enjoying these.
Nissan Rogue Warrior Concept
Nissan has long been known as an automaker that isn’t threatened by conditions that other manufacturers might balk at, and this continues with the new #ConquerAllConditions campaign, featuring models such as the Juke, Murano and Pathfinder. In this instance, the Rogue Warrior represents an upgraded and, let’s be honest, an altogether ‘roided-out version of our most popular crossover SUV. Equipped with a full snow track system and specially equipped for climbing and traversing all conditions, it truly is ready to conquer whatever comes.

The tracks measure 30 inches in height, 48 inches in length and 15 inches in width. This allows it to get maximum traction to climb snow-covered passes without much effort. It also received an upgraded suspension package and a little minor body work to allow the tracks to fit. Once it had been fully retrofitted to accommodate the tracks, it was up to official driver of the Rogue Warrior, 2015 Micra Cup winner Olivier Bedard, to put it to the test. It reached speeds of up to 62 mph and took on climb gradients as steep as 45 degrees, and its AWD was able to adapt to conditions 30 times faster than the blink of an eye. What we’re getting at, we suppose, is that this is simply awesome to behold.
