The Step WGN released in May 2022 features seats developed by our company.
From the driver’s seat to the third-row seats, minivan seats need to meet a range of different performance
requirements. We asked project members about their pursuit of not just safety and seat comfort but also
outstanding interior comfort and convenience during the development of these seats.
