INNOVATION

Let's talk about some of these great innovations that Nissan has come up with. The first thing everyone will want to know about is, the NASA-inspired "zero-gravity" seats.
With the intent of reducing the fatigue experienced during long commutes or extended road trips, (Which is a great thing for those of you who travel to and from Toronto and the GTA), Nissan looked to NASA for help. With seating and posture research from NASA, they found that the least fatiguing seats are those that come closest to a "neutral-posture" - a relaxed position the human body takes when experiencing a weightlessness environment. The seat's shape support the pelvis to the chest and reduce muscular and spinal loads as well as improving blood flow.

Two other new great features include the New NissanConnectSM and NissanConnectSM with Navigation. The 2013 Altima is the first Nissan vehicle to offer Nissan ConnectSM, which offers Bluetooth hands-free phone system and streaming audio via Bluetooth along with available integrated Hands-free Text Messaging Assistant. A really great feature that allows drivers to manage incoming text messages via voice control without taking their hands from the wheel or eyes off the road. Drivers are then alerted to an incoming text and, after initiating the system, can hear the text read out loud and respond via voice recognition, or via the steering wheel switches using pre-set answers such as "okay," "on my way," "driving, can't text," "running late," or a custom message. This is a great feature to have especially with Ontario's Driving and Texting laws now in effect.
