Now featured in over half the lineup, including the all-new Patrol, Zero Gravity Seats deliver a more comfortable driving experience
Dubai, UAE (24 July 2025) – Nissan is making every drive more comfortable than ever by expanding the availability of its Zero Gravity Seats across a wider range of models in the Middle East. Inspired by NASA’s research on optimal human posture in space, Nissan’s Zero Gravity Seats are engineered to reduce fatigue, improve spinal alignment, and enhance the overall driving experience, especially on longer journeys.
Originally introduced on the Nissan Altima, Zero Gravity Seats are now available in over half of Nissan’s passenger vehicle lineup in the region, including the all-new KICKS, Pathfinder, and X-TRAIL. For the first time, the all-new Nissan Patrol features Zero Gravity Seats across its entire lineup, now enhanced with integrated massage functionality. This added luxury brings targeted muscle relaxation to complement the Patrol’s refined driving dynamics, ensuring superior comfort on highways, in the city, and across the desert.
Thierry Sabbagh, Divisional Vice President, President – Middle East, KSA, CIS – Nissan & INFINITI, said: “At Nissan, comfort is more than a feature, it’s fundamental to how we design our vehicles. Zero Gravity Seats underscore our commitment to enhancing the ownership experience by prioritizing comfort and well-being. By extending this advanced seating technology to more models across our line-up, we ensure that every Nissan driver enjoys superior comfort, turning daily commutes into experiences that are more comfortable and human-focused.”
Developed in collaboration with Yamazaki Laboratory at Keio University, Nissan’s Zero Gravity Seats mimic the body’s natural posture in zero-gravity conditions, aligning the spine and hips and evenly distributing body weight. This innovative design reduces pressure on joints, enhances blood circulation, and significantly minimizes driver fatigue. Extensive ergonomic research, including musculo-skeletal analysis and advanced seat simulation, informed the strategic placement of 14 pressure points that effectively alleviate stress on the shoulders and back.
Seating across the lineup is tailored to specific driving needs. In the iconic Nissan Z, purpose-built seats keep occupants secure and relaxed on road or track. The flagship Z NISMO elevates this experience with bespoke Recaro® leather-and-Alcantara® bucket seats where high-grip bolsters offer confident support through fast corners and sustained comfort on longer journeys. Meanwhile, the all-new Nissan Magnite also takes a climate-conscious approach, with MODURE leatherette quilted seats and Heat Guard technology for added comfort even in warmer climates.
Customers across the Middle East can now experience Nissan’s Zero Gravity Seats in a variety of SUV and sedan models, including the all-new Patrol, Pathfinder, X-TRAIL, KICKS, and Altima. Drivers looking for climate-resilient comfort or track-inspired performance will also find specialized seat innovations in the all-new Magnite and Nissan Z range.
