I have a 2025 SEL Superb hatchback. I love the car but there's one thing I'm less keen on. This is my 3rd car now with ventilated seats and it's something I now look for - perfect on hot days. However, the ones in the Superb seem very weak. In previous cars I've been able to feel cooling on my back but in this it just seems to take the edge off the heat a bit. Is this just the case on these cars or is my faulty? I usually have the cooled seat on max but it's just not as powerful as I'm used to or would like

I've noticed in mine that the effect of the seat ventilation is quite subtle! I assume that's expected behaviour...

Ventilation is weak across all VAG cars.

I found exactly the same.

Took delivery of a brand new Superbe last weekend. Turned out the AC was not working at all, so I took it back to the dealership to have it fixed under warranty.

When I took it in, I also asked them to have look at the ventilated seats, as I did not notice any difference whether they are on or off, in low position or on full blast….

I genuinely thought they were not working (just like the AC), but maybe that is a feature rather than a bug…. Which would be disappointing

Car is still there as the air conditioning turned out to require a lot of diagnostics, they are yet to look at the seat ventilation. Curious what they’ll say…. I’ll let you know

That's really interesting. The ventilation must be working on mine as it does stop me getting a sweaty back, but I often don't feel it much, which is what I'm used to and would prefer. Air-con in mine works perfectly though.

I can't detect seat ventilation/air con. Car in workshop for warranty repair of non-working massage function in driver seat. Dealer has to contact Skoda for coding assistance...they think two are connected...?

I had s Mk3 Superb and now have a Mk4. The seat ventilation now is definately nowhere near a good as the previous car.

In the Mk3 I sometimes had to turn the control down from maximum (or even off!) if I felt a chill. Not this one, the control

remains on maximum and I still wish their was more.
