Summer is here. As the sun beats us down forcing us to take shelter, driving doesn’t have to be something to run away from. Ventilated seats come in handy to beat the heat and travel in style. Here are the top 5 most affordable cars in India that offer front seat ventilation.
Tata Nexon XZ+ LUX Petrol
Price: Rs. 11.60 lakh
The Tata Nexon XZ+ LUX petrol trim is currently the most affordable car to offer front-ventilated seats in India. While the Nexon price starts at Rs. 7.80 lakh, the variant offering ventilated seats is priced at Rs. 11.60 lakh. In March 2023, Nexon was the second most-selling compact SUV with Brezza being the first. It is interesting to note that the Maruti Suzuki Brezza doesn’t offer ventilated seats in any variant.

The XL6 is also the only model by Maruti Suzuki to offer ventilated seats!
