14 Cars In India With Ventilated Front Seats Under Rs 20 Lakh

Soaring temperatures across swathes of India mean it's time for your next car to feature ventilated front seats, and thankfully, multiple mass-market models have democratised this feature

We have seen several high-end features trickle down from premium to affordable mass-market cars in recent years, starting with large touchscreens to digital instrument clusters. Another essential element that has become increasingly popular among buyers and in the equipment list of cars is ventilated front seats.

Given the tropical climate of India, it is sure to be one of the most wanted amenities in your car in the coming years.
