Compact design and seating

The M4 Nexa is a mid-wheel power wheelchair designed for smaller users, with seat widths from 12 to 22 inches and depths from 10 to 22 inches. Permobil says it provides anterior tilt, tilt, recline, elevating leg rests, and seat elevation across that range. The company also reports a 15-inch seat-to-floor height with anterior tilt, compact front casters, and a turning radius intended for tight indoor spaces, vehicles, and transfers.

Positioning and adaptability

The patent-pending Nexa Seating System is designed around anatomical pivot points to support posture and stability during powered seating movements. Permobil reports 25% to 50% less user movement than its Corpus seating system, based on its own comparison. The modular architecture allows adjustment of width, depth, foot supports, and arm supports, often while the user remains seated. Compatibility with Permobil seating products and positioning components supports further configuration as needs change.

Connectivity and rollout

Permobil Connect provides factory connectivity for battery and range visibility, fault alerts, remote diagnostics, configuration, and troubleshooting. The MyPermobil app adds usage, seating-behavior, and personalization features, while provider tools support fleet management. The phased introduction begins November 1, 2026, in selected EMEA and Australian markets. New Zealand follows in early 2027. U.S. and Canadian commercial availability is planned for January 2027, subject to regulatory and market-access requirements; U.S. VA access depends on anticipated FDA clearance.
