Ventilated seats are no longer a premium-only feature. These seven compact SUVs offer cooled seats under ₹13 lakhs, making summer driving more comfortable.
Ventilated seats, once limited to luxury cars, are now available across several compact SUVs priced well below the ₹15 lakh mark.
For buyers specifically asking, “I want to buy a compact SUV with ventilated seats,” the choices are now broader than ever. Here are the top six compact SUVs in India that offer ventilated front seats, ranked by affordability:
Renault Kiger

The variant of the Kia Syros with the ventilated seats starts from ₹12.10 lakh.
Tata Nexon
The Tata Nexon offers ventilated front seats on its Fearless+ PS trim and remains one of the most versatile compact SUVs on sale. Uniquely, the feature is also available on the Nexon CNG variant, making it the most affordable CNG-powered vehicle in India to offer cooled seats, alongside petrol and diesel options. The variant of the Tata Nexon with the ventilated seats starts from ₹12.17 lakh.
If ventilated seats are high on your priority list, you no longer need to stretch your budget into the premium territory. From the budget-friendly Renault Kiger to well-rounded options like the Sonet, Venue and Nexon, cooled seats are now firmly within reach right from the compact SUV segment itself.
