5 Most Affordable New Vehicles with Ventilated Seats
By: John LeBlanc
Once you get ventilated seats, you can't go back to not having them.
Comfort is a top priority for new car buyers, especially in Canada's extreme driving conditions. Automakers have introduced various car cabin comfort features, from power-adjustable seats to automatic climate control, to make daily commuting more bearable. While most drivers know about the benefits of heated seats on a frosty winter morning, ventilated or cooled seats are gaining popularity for hot summer days.
Ventilated seats use a fan to circulate air, creating a cooling sensation by drawing hot air away or pushing air toward the driver or passenger through the perforations in the seat. On the other hand, cooled seats, which are less popular and more expensive, send chilled air. The best part is that you don't have to break the bank to enjoy this luxury. If you're in the market for a new vehicle and comfort is a top priority, we've got you covered.
Here are five affordable new vehicles equipped with ventilated seats in various segments that will help keep you cool on the hottest driving days this summer, all at prices that won't strain your budget.
Hatchback: 2025 Kia Soul
For not much money, the Soul has always been considered a "cool" choice for a small car. The front-wheel drive (FWD) five-passenger hatchback's boxy design delivers a spacious interior that makes the Soul one of the roomiest vehicles in its class, ensuring a comfortable ride for all passengers. Kia also equips the Soul with some of its latest safety, infotainment, and comfort features. For ultimate comfort, the topline $29,795* GT-Line Limited adds air-cooled leather front seats that are also heated and power-adjustable.
But that's not all of the Kia's creature comforts. The Soul GT-Line Limited's steering wheel and rear seats are also heated. All Soul trims use a 147-horsepower 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine with an automatic transmission. However, the GT-Line Limited also comes with many of Kia's advanced driving assistance technologies, like dynamic cruise control, advanced forward collision avoidance assist with junction turning function, and Highway Drive Assist.
Sedan: 2024 Volkswagen Jetta
The compact Jetta has always been Volkswagen's take on the affordable German sedan. So it comes as no surprise that of the three non-GLI Jetta trims, the top $26,595 Highline comes standard with ventilated front seats and many other premium features found in much more expensive German sedans than the five-passenger sedan's starting price. A heated steering wheel and heated rear seats are also included, along with a panoramic sunroof, VW's Digital Cockpit Pro 10.25-inch configurable instrument cluster, a premium sound system (with six speakers plus a subwoofer), and ambient cabin lighting that can be customized with up to 10 colours.
Like all current Jettas, the Highline offers generous room for front and rear passengers. The 510-litre trunk, a standout feature in this class, surpasses many midsize sedans. Plus, the new 158-hp 1.5L turbocharged four-cylinder and eight-speed automatic transmission deliver peppy yet efficient performance to the front wheels.
