GUANGZHOU -- Nissan Motor has debuted an office chair in China that incorporates the massage functions of its new N7 electric vehicle seats, responding to consumer praise that its car seats are "as comfortable as a sofa."

Zhou Feng, deputy general manager of Dongfeng Nissan Passenger Vehicle -- the Japanese company's venture with China's Dongfeng Motor -- presented the artificial intelligence-supported seat as a new feature of the N7 at a launch event in Guangzhou in late April.
