I picked up our brand new vRS on Saturday. I specifically specced it with the 'suite' leather so I could get ventilated front seats.

However, first time using the seats yesterday in the heat, and I'm not even sure they work, as I can't feel any cold air... 😕

I come from a Discovery 5 with ventilated seats, and even on the lowest setting I could feel the cold/AC air through the perforations. But with the Kodiaq, I can't feel anything, even when they are on 3. Is this normal (are they really that weak), or am I doing something stupid where they only work in a specific setting?!?

🤔

AFAIK ventilated seats are standard in VRS, regardless of the materials used.

As for your question, the ventilation is rather weak, on 3 you can hear it more than feel it. For me is usually enough, though I would have liked a 5 or at least 4

I have the selection version, with cognac suite....noise can be heard at top level, 3. But, while level 1 can be barely noticed, level 2 is very good and what I usually use on my trips, 3 is ultra hard....I mean really hard...first time I used it I was really hot, and a bit sweaty, I tried in full power l. 3, and all my back got frozen...couldn't turn my body, for four days...I don't know if there are differences from car to car or ot is a malfunction of yours....I would bet on the second, though
