Merging the style of a sedan with the utility of a minivan, Nissan's New Concept Sedan (NCS) was designed to provide first-class seating for four adults, offer minivan-like space, and achieve this with forms that still say "car." The result:

• Limousine-style rear seats are higher than the front seats, with a better view, more leg room than a full-size luxury sedan and individual armrests for maximum comfort.
• In the front seat, the area in front of the passenger has been pushed forward so she can cross her legs - something not possible in a standard sedan.
• The seats cradle the kidneys instead of featuring traditional lumbar support, which pushes against one's back.
• The sunroof, which is relegated to the front seat passengers in most sedans, honors the rear passengers as well.
• The headlight switch is incorporated into the ignition switch, so when the ignition is turned off, the lights also turn off.
• Main HVAC vents atop the A-pillars provide immediate climate adjustment and additional passenger impact protection because the hollow ducting acts as an extra crush zone.
• The rear seats can be folded flat, creating a very large cargo space, and under the cargo floor is a storage area large enough to accept two small golf bags.

The NCS is fully operational, built on a current Nissan chassis and featuring a 190-horsepower V6 engine, a 4-speed electronically controlled automatic overdrive transmission, front-wheel drive, fully tuned sports suspension and a 4-wheel Anti-lock Braking System.
