Outline

When it comes to four-wheelers, comfort and convenience features are becoming essential. Features like sunroofs and ventilated seats are highly popular today. Ventilated seats, especially, provide a more comfortable experience by allowing air to flow through the seat’s backrest and cushion, thanks to built-in fans powered by an electric motor. However, while these seats add significant comfort, they often come with a high price tag.

 

For those looking for ventilated seats within a reasonable budget, there are options available. In this article, I’ve listed the top five models with ventilated seats priced under 15 lakhs, plus one bonus model to consider. This article aims to save buyers time and effort, offering a quick overview of affordable options without compromising on comfort.

The Alpha variant is powered by a 1.5-litre petrol engine with mild-hybrid technology, delivering 103PS and 137Nm of torque. Buyers can choose between a 5-speed manual and a 6-speed automatic transmission.
