A SWISH new dog-friendly car comes complete with a luxury built-in shower and a heated bed.
The “ultimate” car for canines also has a retractable ramp for easy access and a bespoke hairdryer, so you can really spoil your pampered pooch.
Genesis, the luxury brand of Hyundai, created the glamorous concept car with features to make four-legged travel more luxurious.
Its “Genesis X Dog” is based on the GV70 Electrified SUV after recent studies found that dogs are more relaxed riding in electric than diesel cars.
Vehicle-to-load technology uses the car's battery to power a range of pooch-pampering tools, including the built-in electric shower.

A six-litre pressurised water tank is linked to the shower attachment, which is paired with an electric hairdryer so that spoiled hounds can be washed and dried after a long, muddy walk.
The boot is upholstered in quilted vegan leather to match the car's interior and boasts a fully-padded, heated dog bed.
There is a wireless Bluetooth audio system while pet owners can use their phone to choose from 100 ambient lighting colours with blue and violet hues recommended as most soothing for mutts.
The lightweight, pull-out ramp is made of aluminium and has carbon-fibre telescopic tubes that are said to be durable over all terrains, should drivers venture off-road.
On the move, there is a personalised leather dog collar and matching safety harness to keep canines secure in their sanctuary.
The shower attachment and hairdryer are stowed in waterproof pouches while non-slip surfaces are used across the bottom of the pod.
When not transporting their dog in the lap of luxury, owners can easily remove the entire rear boot module to free up space for luggage.
For now, Genesis says that the X Dog concept is a “one-off” but it is thought some of the handy tools might eventually be available as add-on options.
The Korean company said: “The concept was created as a one-off accessory to showcase how dog owners could travel with their companion without sacrificing comfort.”
The X Dog concept is being displayed over the next two weeks by Genesis at its retail space in Battersea, south-west London.
