TailorFit®: How Nissan designed premium seating that looks and feels like leather
Unique material provides upscale comfort and feel with greater wrinkle resistance
Synthetic leather used to be stiff, shiny and unmistakably artificial. That era is over. In the all-new 2026 Nissan Sentra SL, TailorFit® seating provides the premium look and feel of traditional leather with enhanced wrinkle resistance. Beyond Sentra SL, TailorFit is available in six Nissan and INFINITI models in North America, offering drivers a range of options to experience the benefits of leather with a material designed to stand the test of time. What is TailorFit? TailorFit is a synthetic, polyurethane-based seating material that provides a similar tactile feel to conventional leather. Natural leather is known for its smooth, soft feel and comfort in a variety of climates. TailorFit builds on those strengths. It features a unique surface coating that delivers a premium, inviting touch. "In an internal clinic, Nissan employees tested seats covered in leather, PVC, polyurethane and TailorFit. Although employees did not know which seats had TailorFit, the majority reported that they preferred the haptics of the TailorFit seats," said Fernando Sarabia, senior manager of Seat Engineering at Nissan Technical Center North America (NTCNA). One of the reasons TailorFit feels so soft: The distance between the grains on the surface is similar to the distance between the grooves in fingerprints. "This provides a smoother feel. It used to be easy for me to tell the difference between synthetic and genuine leather. Now, it's very difficult," said Sarabia, who has worked in automotive seating for 22 years. TailorFit is designed to resist wrinkling and creasing better than genuine leather, helping maintain its refined appearance over time. "Previous generations of polyurethane materials were soft, but weren't very durable. TailorFit solves that problem," Sarabia said. To help ensure lasting quality, Nissan works with its suppliers to put seating materials through rigorous testing. A variety of tests aim to replicate real-world wear and tear, like someone getting into and out of the vehicle thousands of times. What is the difference between TailorFit, leatherette and Prima-Tex ® ? Nissan offers a variety of seating materials that vary based on model and trim. Leatherette is a synthetic material that offers much of the soft, rich feel of leather at an even more accessible price than TailorFit, which is considered a category of leatherette. For Nissan vehicles equipped with leatherette without the TailorFit designation, the material can be manufactured using PVC, polyurethane or a mix of both. TailorFit, however, is a proprietary material that only uses polyurethane. Prima-Tex® is a synthetic material with similar properties to TailorFit. Also polyurethane-based, Prima-Tex is offered in SUV models like Rogue (Dark Armor) and Murano (SV and SL). "While made of a slightly different material from TailorFit, Prima-Tex provides outstanding comfort and durability for customers seeking a leather-like material," Sarabia said. What is the difference between TailorFit and genuine leather? Genuine, traditional leather is created using animal hides. It is incredibly durable but can wrinkle with wear. TailorFit was developed to provide a similar feel to high-end leather with enhanced resistance to creasing and wrinkling. One advantage of TailorFit's construction is that it delivers a premium feel while also being efficient to produce. That efficiency means even models like the 2026 Sentra SL can offer striking gray-and-blue TailorFit seating at a compelling MSRP of $27,990, bringing an upscale experience to more drivers. "This is partly due to the materials' shape. Animal hides are naturally irregular, making it difficult to use the entire hide efficiently. TailorFit, however, is produced in uniform sheets that are far easier to cut and use effectively," Sarabia explained. Since leather weighs nearly twice as much as TailorFit, there is also a weight savings of roughly 5 lbs. per vehicle, depending on the model. "Over hundreds of thousands of vehicles, that makes a big difference," Sarabia said. While TailorFit offers exceptional haptics and longevity, some customers still value the unique feel and excellent durability of leather appointments, which is why they are still available on select premium vehicles. Indeed, genuine leather still provides a remarkably supple feel and long-lasting durability, but advances in material science have transformed synthetic leather into something truly premium. With TailorFit, Nissan and INFINITI owners can enjoy a soft, comfortable material that's built to last. Which Nissan and INFINITI vehicles are available with TailorFit? The following Nissan vehicles are offered with TailorFit-appointed seating: - Armada (SL) - LEAF (SV+, Platinum+) - Pathfinder (SL) - Sentra (SL) The following INFINITI vehicles are offered with TailorFit-appointed seating: - QX60 (PURE, LUXE, SPORT) - QX80 (PURE)
TailorFit is a proprietary, polyurethane-based synthetic seating material developed by Nissan that mimics the look and feel of traditional leather with enhanced wrinkle resistance.
TailorFit seating is available in the Nissan Armada (SL), LEAF (SV+, Platinum+), Pathfinder (SL), Sentra (SL), INFINITI QX60 (PURE, LUXE, SPORT), and INFINITI QX80 (PURE).

Toughness-tested: How Nissan Frontier’s V6 is engineered to endure the extreme
Stress-testing the V6 for the equivalent of 130,000 miles helps give owners confidence in their truck’s engine
The 3.8-liter V6 engine in the Nissan Frontier comes with the confidence that it has proven to be capable of handling extreme conditions without breaking a sweat. Specialists at Nissan's Decherd Powertrain Assembly Plant in Tennessee randomly select engines off the line and run them through punishing tests in dynamometer chambers, checking every part for wear and imperfections to ensure the engines will hold up to rugged use for years to come. Think of a dynamometer, or dyno, like a treadmill for a truck engine; it allows technicians to run the engine through extreme scenarios while mounted to test equipment inside a lab. These stress tests are specifically designed to check the assembly process is up to spec and help ensure the engine will deliver both the power and long-term reliability customers want in a midsize truck. "We'll pull a random engine from the assembly line, run it through our testing procedures and then tear it down. We confirm all internal components meet specifications and look for any issues that didn't appear during the test," said Brandon McClain, quality assurance manager at the Decherd Powertrain Assembly Plant. To push the limits even further, temperatures are cycled beyond real‑world extremes. "The temperature of the oil and water is fluctuated up and down to points that you're not going to see under normal operation of a vehicle, and it's doing cycles throughout the test while the engine is at wide open throttle or redline," he explains. With this intense test regimen, it's no surprise the V6 in the 2026 Nissan Frontier is confident and capable. In fact, it has more standard horsepower and more standard towing capacity than the Toyota Tacoma, Ford Ranger, Honda Ridgeline and Jeep Gladiator1. For Frontier owners, that means an engine designed to handle heavy towing of up to 7,150 lbs.2, even in high heat and up mountain passes. Here's a look behind the scenes at Nissan's dyno testing facility: Nissan’s Decherd facility has 10 dyno cells used for engine testing and verification. Three or four engines are typically running tests at a time, with test cycles lasting anywhere from four to 300 hours. Kenny Garms, a dyno specialist, monitors data during an engine test. The most intense tests run an engine for 100 hours at maximum load and maximum engine speed. That’s sort of like driving up a mountain road, pedal to the floor, for 100 hours straight, according to Tyler Banks, dyno engineer at Decherd. The team says that test is part of a larger 300-hour dyno run that produces as much strain and wear on an engine as 130,000 miles of real-world driving. Engine test cycles vary in time, temperature and other criteria, but one thing is constant: They run the engine in extreme circumstances that go way beyond how intensely most customers use their vehicles. “We test every bit of RPM that engine can take and every bit of force that the engine can withstand,” said Banks. “You can imagine the heat that these engines produce running for 200 to 300 hours – the exhaust manifolds are glowing red.” The dyno team has a variety of standardized tests they run depending on what is being evaluated. These tests are also used at other global Nissan facilities, and over time they help the team identify and correct potential manufacturing issues. “We have criteria across the board on parts once we do test these engines,” said McClain. “If there is an issue, we put countermeasures in place or start investigating to find out where this could have happened.” After overseeing these grueling tests, Banks has a simple recommendation for owners who hope to keep their engine in optimal shape: Adhere to the manufacturer-recommended maintenance schedule. “Change your oil,” he says. “If you want to understand what an engine is capable of doing and how long it will last, I will make you a believer in changing your oil. You would not believe what these engines go through in the test cells, and it is not a problem – just so long as the oil is changed.” When something changes in the engine production process – forging, casting, machining or assembly – Banks and McClain run a battery of tests to make sure the engine’s final performance still meets Nissan standards. “The assembly line does a lot of testing, but some of these items that we need to check simply can’t be tested on the assembly line due to the length of time that is required to show wear,” explained Banks. “So that’s where the dyno team steps in: We help the quality department validate these parts to make sure they’re still meeting manufacturer specifications.” Josh Jones, versatility supervisor – Raw Material Quality Assurance, also helps inspect engines and other components to spot even the tiniest defect before it reaches a customer vehicle. An advanced x-ray machine in the Decherd facility allows technicians to digitally scan fine slices of finished engine to look for imperfections. “We check roughly one out of 100 engine blocks; we try to get multiple samples per day.” Each slice shown on the x-ray machine can be as little as 1.2 millimeters across, allowing the team to view internal cooling channels and other elements in extreme detail. The x-ray machine saves time and avoids wasting finished materials that would otherwise have to be cut apart. "We can do a cylinder wall thickness inspection without having to cut the block," said Jones. "Having that flexibility to be able to look inside and not have to worry about taking a part to the saw to cut is extremely helpful. It saves money because we're not scrapping parts to verify quality. If it's good, you can send it back to the production line." Alongside its usual use checking engine blocks, the x-ray machine is in high demand from other Nissan employees looking to validate a part’s quality and reliability. “We’re doing something every month for somebody who has heard about the unit and wants their parts x-rayed,” said Jones. “We can detect things quicker and it’s non-destructive testing, so the part is just as good as before you put it in the x-ray.”
What is the purpose of the V6 engine stress tests at Nissan's Decherd Powertrain Assembly Plant?
The stress tests ensure the engine can handle extreme conditions and deliver power and long-term reliability for customers.
Brandon McClain is the quality assurance manager at the Decherd Powertrain Assembly Plant.

Nissan Formula E Team scores third podium of Season 12 in Jeddah
Squad recovers strongly from Friday disappointment to podium finish on Saturday
Nissan Formula E Team's Oliver Rowland clinched his third podium of the season in Round 5 of the 2025/26 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship in Jeddah, as the squad bounced back strongly from a tough first race of the double-header the day before. In the opening race of the weekend on Friday, Norman Nato qualified well, reaching the semi-final stage, while teammate Rowland missed out on the Duels. Starting fourth, Nato led for multiple laps ahead of his Pit Boost stop, but lost places later in the race against rivals in Attack Mode and crossed the line 13th. Meanwhile, Rowland was unable to make progress from 16th on the grid, with the current World Champion coming home 17th. In the second race of the double-header on Saturday, a better qualifying performance for Rowland saw him line-up fourth in his 100th Formula E start, while Nato was unfortunate to miss out on the Duels in a very tight session. Starting on the second row, Rowland led in the early stages of the E-Prix, consistently running towards the front and managing his energy efficiently. He then moved into the top three during his final six-minute Attack Mode and secured third place. On the other side of the garage, Nato was unable to advance through the field from 15th, eventually crossing the line in 17th. Formula E now heads to Madrid on 20-21 March for a maiden race weekend at Circuito del Jarama. Tommaso Volpe, managing director and team principal, Nissan Formula E Team: “We're pleased to get a podium this evening with Oli after a difficult day yesterday. We struggled in Round 4 on Friday, even if Norman did a great job in qualifying to make it to the semi-finals in the Duels, but both drivers lacked pace and found it tough in the race. We worked hard overnight to find the issues and Oli immediately felt better in the car, qualifying fourth and putting together a strong race to secure third. On Norman's side, he missed out on advancing to the Duels in an incredibly competitive qualifying group, and at this track it is very difficult to recover when you're in the pack. The team worked tirelessly and did an amazing job to ensure we could achieve this podium today, and I am proud of how they reacted and managed to turn things around. It's been a challenging weekend, but it's great to end it with a trophy as we head to Madrid.” Oliver Rowland, driver, Nissan Formula E Team: “Friday was a tough day for us, I clipped the wall in FP2 and then we lacked pace in qualifying, which made for a difficult race. The team worked really hard overnight to make adjustments to the car and it paid off today as we lined up fourth on the grid. I took up the lead in the opening stages to stay out of trouble as these peloton-style events can be dangerous when further back. It was a well-managed race and it's great to be back on the podium. A huge thanks to the team for their dedication which made this result possible.” Norman Nato, driver, Nissan Formula E Team: “I'm frustrated to leave Jeddah with no points, after we had a positive start to the double-header in qualifying yesterday. I felt good in the car and led comfortably for several laps, but a technical issue affected our pace and we dropped down the order in the second half of the event. Today, we narrowly missed out on the Duels in a tight qualifying, and in the race it was very difficult to move forward with everyone being so closely-matched. It's disappointing as I think we could've achieved more. However, that's just the way it goes sometimes in motorsport and now the focus is on improving and preparing for the next race in Madrid.”

The company delivered resilient performance with positive third‑quarter operating profit. In the nine months, global sales reached 2.26 million units, mainly led by the US and China. Consolidated net revenue totaled 8.6 trillion yen, with an operating profit of -10.1 billion yen, reflecting a notable improvement from the cumulative results through the second quarter as operating losses continued to narrow. Despite continued pressure from softer sales volumes and the impact of tariffs, the company delivered steady operational progress in fixed‑cost reduction and Monozukuri cost efficiencies. Net income came in at -250.2 billion yen, primarily due to lower income from equity-method companies and restructuring costs. Nissan maintained a robust financial position with total liquidity of 3.6 trillion yen, including 2.1 trillion yen in cash and cash equivalent as of December.

Re:Nissan progress Under the Re:Nissan plan, Nissan is advancing its efforts to achieve positive automotive operating profit and free cash flow by the end of fiscal year 2026 before tariffs. The company has identified 240-billion-yen potential variable cost savings through thousands of innovative ideas moving into implementation, ensuring sustainable efficiencies without compromising quality, safety, or performance. Fixed cost reductions are advancing rapidly. Nissan has delivered over 80 billion yen in the first half and have already reached 160 billion yen ahead of plan, with confidence that it will surpass its 250-billion-yen target by fiscal year 2026. The consolidation of our vehicle production sites is now progressing toward completion and the engineering cost-per-hour improvement stands at 15% toward a 20% goal. Ivan Espinosa, Nissan’s president and chief executive, stated: “Through the collective efforts of employees company‑wide, we are delivering steady progress under Re:Nissan. We have announced all seven sites for consolidation within ten months, reflecting disciplined execution and significant advancement on fixed‑cost improvements. Although sales remain under pressure and tariff impact continues, we are maintaining operational focus and recognizing the ongoing momentum of our product lineup. While FY25 will reflect a substantial net loss driven primarily by non-cash accounting charges, these actions are necessary to strengthen our long-term operating performance. We will continue reinforcing our financial foundation and increasing revenue through the introduction of competitive new models, supporting our trajectory toward the goals of Re:Nissan.” 1 Net income attributable to owners of the parent 2 Since the beginning of fiscal year 2013, Nissan has reported figures calculated under the equity method accounting for its joint venture with Dong Feng in China.

Nissan Formula E Team ready to battle it out under the lights in Jeddah
First double-header of Season 12 awaits Japanese squad on Red Sea shores
Nissan Formula E Team is looking to bounce back this weekend as Jeddah hosts Rounds 4 and 5 of the 2025/26 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. Following a successful maiden trip to Jeddah Corniche Circuit in 2025, which saw Oliver Rowland take a dominant victory in the second race, the championship returns to Saudi Arabia for more action. The Japanese outfit has shown solid pace in the early stages of this campaign, with Rowland scoring podiums in São Paulo and Mexico City. On the other side of the garage, Norman Nato will be aiming to convert his speed into valuable points at the first double-header of the season, with the event presenting a major opportunity for the squad to move up the standings. This will be the eighth consecutive season that Saudi Arabia has hosted an E-Prix, with it being held in Jeddah for a second time. Located on the coast of the Red Sea, the night event will take place under the lights on a 3.001-kilometer variation of Jeddah Corniche Circuit. The 19-turn track provides a thrilling fast-paced lap, with overtaking likely into Turns 1, 8 and after the long, fast sweeping left-hander of Turn 12. The opening race of the weekend will see Pit Boost return for the first time in Season 12, with the cars receiving a 10% energy increase (3.85kWh) from a quick, 30-second 600kW re-charge in the pitlane. A change for the 2025/26 campaign is that in a Pit Boost event each driver will only have one Attack Mode deployment, which will be activated for six minutes. Saturday’s event will be a more traditional E-Prix with no Pit Boost and two Attack Modes, that can be used over the standard eight-minute period. This means we’ll see two very different races at the same venue across the two days, which is a huge challenge for the teams. For this weekend’s action, both Nissan e‑4ORCE 05 cars will once again feature additional branding from its innovation partner Electromin for its home E-Prix. As well as its regular positions, the Electromin logo will also be visible on the halo and the front wing. The leading electric mobility solutions provider in the Middle East has been in a global partnership with Nissan Formula E Team since 2024. The collaboration has highlighted both companies’ shared vision of shaping the future of electric mobility with innovation and sustainability at the forefront. Track action begins on Thursday with Free Practice 1 from 20:00 local time (UTC+3). Qualifying on both Friday and Saturday will get underway at 15:40, with lights out for both rounds at 20:00. Tommaso Volpe, managing director and team principal, Nissan Formula E Team: “We’re always delighted to return to Saudi Arabia, and to be back in Jeddah after a great first-ever weekend here last year. The preparation for this first double-header of Season 12 has been quite intense given the quick turnaround – we will have two very different races across the weekend plus the return of Pit Boost, so the past week has been incredibly demanding for the team. After a disappointing weekend in Miami, we now have a clear understanding of the areas that needed improving and we have put solutions in place, so I’m optimistic that we are in a good position to fight for the podium again. Saudi Arabia is especially important for us given our close collaboration with our innovation partner Electromin. They’ve been an important ally since 2024 and have been crucial in creating synergies which promote the Nissan brand both in the region and worldwide, and we’re excited to continue our work with them and to have the chance to race in their home country.” Oliver Rowland, driver, Nissan Formula E Team: “Jeddah was one of our strongest tracks last season as we showed great performance on our way to taking victory in the second race. However, we know that everyone has improved their understanding of the GEN3 Evo cars since last year. The circuit has a nice variety of challenges with some tricky braking zones which will test all of us drivers. Qualifying is definitely an area to work on from the opening three events, because I know if we improve on this then we can be fighting towards the front end of the field throughout the E-Prixs, and that’s the goal this weekend.” Norman Nato, driver, Nissan Formula E Team: “We’ll be aiming to bounce back from a frustrating race in Miami and this double-header is a massive opportunity. With Pit Boost, it means that we must prepare for two completely different races as the energy management and lengths of Attack Mode are different each day. I enjoyed the event in Jeddah last year - it’s a very cool track to drive, especially under the lights. We know that Qualifying will be important here and I’m confident on that side after making the Duels in two of the opening three rounds. There’s a lot of points on offer with it being a double-header and we’ll look to maximize our potential to move up the championship standings.” Sam Bird, reserve and development driver, Nissan Formula E Team: “The main challenge of Jeddah is the difference in track temperatures from Qualifying to the start of the E-Prix. Qualifying is in the heat of the day while the race gets underway in much cooler night conditions, which helps for tire longevity. It’s an interesting circuit layout with more slow speed changes of direction and corner variety than there has been so far this season. We’ll have two very different events, but I still expect there to be energy management in both and I can see the benefit of sitting just behind the leader before it goes flat out towards the end.”
Jeddah is hosting Rounds 4 and 5 of the 2025/26 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship.
The races will take place this weekend, with track action beginning on Thursday, and races on Friday and Saturday.
The event is located on the Jeddah Corniche Circuit, a 3.001-kilometer track on the Red Sea coast.
Which drivers are representing the Nissan Formula E Team?
Oliver Rowland and Norman Nato are the drivers for the Nissan Formula E Team.
Pit Boost is a new feature for Season 12 where cars receive a 10% energy increase (3.85kWh) from a 30-second, 600kW re-charge in the pitlane.

Nissan brings ingenuity to game day snacking with new Rogue spot starring chef Matty Matheson
Lighthearted social campaign uses humor to highlight how the 2026 Rogue is engineered for real-life adventures
Just in time for the Big Game, Nissan is celebrating one of America's most beloved sport-viewing culinary traditions – chips and dip – with a playful new social media activation showcasing the versatility of the 2026 Nissan Rogue. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRwf63kMMSk Starring chef, actor, and gameday dip enthusiast Matty Matheson, the lighthearted spot introduces the "Nissan Dip Seat," a humorous fictional concept that showcases the Rogue's thoughtful interior engineering – and offers a tongue-in-cheek solution for transporting the estimated 8-12 million pounds of dip Americans enjoy during the Big Game. "With the 2026 Rogue, we set out to design an SUV that fits real life – families, adventures, errands, and yes, even gameday traditions," said Allyson Witherspoon, Chief Marketing Officer, Nissan U.S. "This campaign celebrates those everyday moments with humor while highlighting how the Rogue is engineered around the human experience, with safety, durability and long-lasting confidence built in from the start. Matty brings an unforgettable energy that makes the story both entertaining and unmistakably Nissan." Central to the campaign is one of Rogue's functional advantages: the ability to securely position a child seat using LATCH anchors in any rear-row seating location – including the middle. Building on that, the campaign introduces the fictional "Dip Seat," a car seat-style carrier mock-up designed specifically for protecting snacks on the go. With a cameo from racecar driver and actress Emelia Hartford, the spot blends humor with a showcase of Rogue's intelligent design and family-friendly practicality – demonstrating the Rogue's wide opening rear doors, flexible seating configuration, and ease of installation. "That's seven-layer safety right there," Matty jokes in the film while clicking the Dip Seat into the Rogue's back middle seat – highlighting how the Rogue's thoughtful rear seat engineering helps keep precious cargo secure. "No more scraping ground beef and beans out of the car carpet for this guy!" Through the Dip Seat campaign, Nissan highlights the fun, functional spirit behind one of its most popular models – and brings a fresh twist to gameday storytelling. The Nissan Dip Seat social media campaign, created in collaboration with creative agency TBWA\Chiat\Day New York, debuts today across Nissan's social channels, with additional shortform content rolling out throughout the Big Game weekend.
