Nissan says they improver ergonomics and lessen fatigue on long drives...

http://www.nissan-global.com/EN/TECHNOLOGY/OVERVIEW/zero_gravity_inspired_car_seat.html

Ergonomic technology was utilized to analyze, measure and verify fatigue reduction and comfort, leading to the NASA-measured “neutral posture.” In a weightless scenario human posture is weakened and the burden on the body is at its least, meaning posture does not collapse even over long periods and you are less likely to become tired. By applying this neutral posture to a car seat, it alleviates feelings of fatigue from sitting for long periods of time.

Very interesting. Seems well thought through.

It could be a cool thing for auto shows to have one of these seats next to a competitors for people to feel the difference and compare.

Hi there,

Does this seating technology come standard or is the an option upgrade? Definitely looks like a lot of research has gone into ensuring healthy posture positioning.

Cheers.

With technology like this, i can almost bet they will want to charge a premium for it, it speaks to some real needs and issues that some people have which for nissan means profit.

Can't make progress and research new technology without profit!

Is this seating option available in other Nissan models or only for the Titan XD?

I mean people pay extra for racing seats so I don't see why they wouldn't pay extra for these seats. If they aren't offered as an option then they will at least be only offered on the more high end trim levels.

Zero gravity seats are optional in the Altima, and probably others.

Has anyone actually tried these out though? Are they actually that much better than a regular seat, or is it not something to get overly excited about?

Good reference point.
That trend is likely to be followed all throughout their model line up.

But of course when it comes to infiniti, they'll likely make it standard if it isn't already included.

That's great to hear! Especially on long hauls this seating technology will be very helpful on the back..

Random question - Is Infinite to Nissan basically what Lexus is to Toyota?

Cheers

Yes.

Look close at all the parts on my Infiniti and they're labeled "Nissan" The engine sticker also says Nissan.

Thanks for the info!

Yes. I had them in my Altima and they were quite comfortable. I also have them in my 2016 Titan XD SL, and with my bad back, they feel very good.
