Massaging Car Seats

The Hutech Sonic Wave Car Seat Infuses Mobility with Wellness Features

— December 31, 2021 — Autos
At CES 2022, Hutech is introducing the Sonic Wave car and set itself apart as a mobility-oriented corporation, a first in the massage chair industry. Hutech's sonic wave car seat exterior was inspired by the sonic wave on massage system and it sees the potential for "the customer's moving space [to become] a complete resting space beyond merely a means of transportation."

The ergonomic design provides a comfortable seating experience with plenty of flexibility with the freedom to move forward, backward, up and down, with additional adjustments that can be made to support the head and legs. In collaboration with Kia, Hutech has been conducting research and applying a complete foot massager to the Kia Carnival High Limousine 4-seater.
