Seat adjustment and lumbar support

Hi everyone

I am considering buying a new or late model Maxima (or Altima). My wife and I, both in our 60s, are looking to take more road trips. My wife has a lot of back issues, so I thought the zero-gravity seats would be a good choice for us. The problem is that she likes a lot of lumbar support, while I prefer to not have too much.

Is there any lumbar adjustment on the passenger seat? Can the lumbar support on the driver's side be minimized?

TIA
Pete

what trim are you getting? For instance the "s" doesn't even offer any lumbar support for driver or passenger

I'd like to get the Platinum version. I really like the idea of ventilated seats!

Only lumbar support for the driver side. Even on the Platinum.

My wife loves the lumbar support on our Platinum, while I appreciate that I can adjust that lumbar support down to almost zero. As FGW just mentioned, there is no lumbar support on the passenger seat of any level 8th gen Maxima. My only complaint with the 8th gen Maxima seats is that there is no vertical adjustment on the passenger seat on any level 8th gen Maxima.
