Hi,

Bit confused. I’ve seen some web pages that state ventilated seats are available on the Elroq, yet cannot find any options for that inThe UK. Has anyone managed to spec these at all? Having had these on my Superb, I’d really like to have them on the next car. Any help greatly appreciated.

I don't think they're available. They are mentioned on the online operator manual, but I've never seen them in any UK spec information. Apparently, in markets where they are available, the control is on the Infotainment screen, next to the heated seat control. It shows a picture of a seat with a blue fan symbol which has 3 speeds (much like the heated seat with its 3 heat levels). It seems that MY26 build cars will begin manufacture in September, so whether it will be available then, who knows?

We have suite interior in our Elroq, and the seats cushions are perforated leather, so you'd think ventilated would be a fairly simple option.

Thanks for that, I thought I was going loopy for a bit trying to think where I saw them. Yeah you’d honestly think it would be standard with perforated leather wouldn’t you?

I have a VRS on order and they are apparently included with that , I also saw a Youtube VRS review on a UK car Wales this week. She shows the ventilated seats in the review.

Nice. When you get yours, perhaps you could confirm they’re there? Bet you can’t wait. 😛

Maybe I'm blind and deaf, but I cant find her talking about ventilated seats in this video?

She talks about heated seats in the back though.

I was a bit confused about this ventilated seats thing as well, and as far as I have been able to dig out, this is only availible in certain markets, and mostly for the Suite trim level it seems. Germany for eksample mention Belüftete Vordersitze for Suite and L&K design selections.

I also have an vRS on order, and there is no mention about ventilated seats in that for Norway, and it was also said by the dealer here that no Elroqs came with ventilated seats for Norway.

(and yes, totally agree, that kind of regional BS is awfully annoying!)

You are correct indeed, it's massage seats in the UK. This whole faff around leaving standard options out in one region Vs the other is BS .

VAG and Skoda have a lot to learn and better do it quickly as the Chinese are coming quickly

Seems daft that they don't have 1 spec for the whole of Europe. We have the Suite interior which has perforated leather so it would be easy for them to add ventilation. I think the massage seats are a waste of time, and I would gladly swap them for ventilated.

The Enyaq configurator recently changed to include ventilated seats for the Suite option (and is now £2,200 rather than £2000 previously from memory!):

Design Selection Package - Suite Black with seat ventilation in front

No change that I can see for Elroq.

Having had ventilated seats on a previous car, I would also swap them in a heartbeat in place of the massage option!
