Do INFINITI Cars Have Ventilated Seats?

Do you ever get out of the car after a long trip only to find the backs of your legs are covered in sweat? Or maybe you can never seem to fully warm up in your car on a cold winter day. Ventilated seats are desirable features for many car owners, as they help regulate body temperature and provide constant streams of air to the chairs’ occupants. INFINITI is a luxury car brand, and it’s known for offering these amenities. Below, you can learn more about what ventilated seats are, what their benefits are, and how INFINITI offers them.

What Are Ventilated Seats?

Ventilated seats have small perforations that allow air to circulate through them. The seats also have small fans and ducts that extract air from the vehicle’s cabin. These components deliver the air to the seat’s occupant and provide a cooling or heating effect. In most vehicles with ventilated seats, it’s possible to toggle the ventilation on or off depending on whether you want them in operation.

Depending on what INFINITI vehicle you have, you may even be able to choose a temperature that activates the seats’ ventilation features. This temperature may be a specific external temperature or the temperature of the cabin. The fans may begin to slow down once they’ve been on for a while or have made the seat a certain temperature.

What Are the Benefits of Ventilated Car Seats?

Ventilated seats offer many benefits. They can operate without cooled seats, so they don’t require refrigerants to operate. You don’t have to worry about topping off refrigerant levels for your ventilated seats to work properly, and you can still enjoy a cooling sensation on a hot day. Similarly, ventilated seats don’t need a heating element to provide comfort to the occupant. They may circulate warm air within the vehicle’s cabin on a cold day to offer warmth to the occupant.

With that said, ventilated seats can work alongside both cooled and heated seats. If your vehicle has cooled and ventilated seats, you may enjoy extra cooling power on a hot day. The ventilation in your seats can help distribute the cool air better, and the same is true if your seats heat themselves. Ventilated seats can also work with power and massage seats without interrupting the features they provide.

As you can see, ventilated seats are highly functional. They also provide ample comfort, as they can decrease the temperature of seats that are hot to the touch or warm up frigid sitting areas. Specifically, on hotter days, ventilated seats can lower your body temperature, reduce sweating, and minimize moisture. They’re great for staying comfortable on a long road trip or a short commute to work or school. They also make minimal noise when they operate, so you can still hear your tunes or enjoy a peaceful, quiet ride.

Some cars have ventilated seats for the front passengers, which is perfect if you have a smaller car or only drive around younger passengers who ride in car seats. However, you can also purchase a vehicle that has ventilated seats in the front and back rows. It’s rare for three-row SUVs to have ventilated seats in all three rows, but it’s possible to upgrade the seats to have air-circulating properties.

What INFINITI Cars Have Ventilated Seats?

While ventilated seats aren’t a new concept, they’re not necessarily widespread in many vehicles. You won’t find them in every INFINITI vehicle, so it’s important to understand if the car model you’re looking at features them. You can identify ventilated seats by their unique perforations. If you’re unsure, a sales team member can inform you whether a vehicle has ventilated seats. If the lack of this feature is a deal-breaker, a sales team member would be happy to only show you vehicles that do have ventilated seats.

When it comes to ventilated seats in INFINITI vehicles, you’re more likely to find them in newer ones. For example, the 2022 INFINITI QX50 is a luxury compact SUV that has these features. Other newer INFINITI vehicles that come with ventilated seats include:

• The INFINITI QX80.
• The INFINITI Q70.
• The INFINITI M.
• The INFINITI QX30.

While it’s possible to add aftermarket ventilated seats once you purchase your INFINITI vehicle, you may get higher-quality, more effective seats if you purchase the car or SUV with ventilated seats already included.

Do Ventilated Seats Work With Seat Covers?

Choosing to put seat covers in your INFINITI vehicle can be a wise decision. You can protect the high-quality material from food stains, dirt stains, and tears. However, with seat covers in place, you may wonder if the ventilated properties will still work.

It’s worth noting that while you can still turn the ventilation features on when seat covers are in place, you may notice reduced effectiveness. It’s important to read the user manual for your INFINITI vehicle to determine how seat covers may affect the functionality of your ventilated seats. From there, you can determine if you want to use your seat covers and sacrifice a bit of the ventilated seats’ effectiveness or leave them off to get the full effect.

If ventilated seats appeal to you, you may be interested in purchasing a newer INFINITI vehicle. We encourage you to visit our dealership at Herrin-Gear INFINITI to browse our inventory.
