Most affordable cars with second row seat ventilation

Ventilated seats have become a popular and must-have feature in mass-market cars in recent times. After its presence was seen only in front row seats for a while, it has now made its way to the second row of seats to cater to chauffeur-driven customers. A feature once meant for luxury cars is now common to see on mass-market cars, and a great thing to have, especially during our harsh summer months. The following is a list of the most affordable cars with second-row seat ventilation. Interestingly, all the vehicles in this list comprise only SUVs.
5. Mahindra XEV 9S
Available from the Pack Three trim onward, priced from Rs 27.35 lakh

The Mahindra XEV 9S is the only and most affordable electric vehicle on this list with second-row seat ventilation. The feature is only available in the top top Pack Three and Pack Three select trims with the 79kWh battery pack.
