Heated seats not standard? On 400 sport

[G18]

Hi, just looking at my recently acquired 400 sport and I’ve noticed it hasn’t got heated seats, but has the heated steering wheel? Was this an extra option?

Heated seats (and also heated/cooled seats) where an option. As was heated front screen.
I don't have them either however the newer thin performance seats never seem to get too hot or cold to me and seem pretty well ventilated anyway.

Heated steering wheel was standard.

Thanks for this, I just presumed they were standard because of the heated wheel?

Yes, those were separate options although they probably also could come together as part of some package like a cold climate package.

I have both heating and cooling in my seats and as you say SimpleR they feel quite well ventilated even without the active cooling, thanks to the perforated leather and thin structure I suppose. Both my old XFs also had perforated seats with cooling but they somehow got hotter. This also seems to be another difference between the current and the old performance seats in the F-Type - I found the old thicker non perforated performance seats to get hot much easier.

you can get aftermarked ones fitted for about £550

Presumably, the non-perforated leather is for heated only - using an electric element rather than the Peltier cells and fans in the heated and cooled seats.
