Ventilated seats are a feature that has gradually become very common in Indian cars. Starting in cars under ₹10 lakh now, ventilated seats are no longer a “luxury” feature for Indians. Given the conditions most people drive in, ventilated seats make cars much more comfortable in the summers. With ventilated seats becoming a more and more common feature in cars, it only makes sense to list out 10 of the cheapest cars that offer ventilated seats to buyers. Here are 10 of the cheapest cars with ventilated seats that you can buy in India:
1 – Maruti Suzuki XL6 (Alhpa Plus)
The Maruti Suzuki XL6’s Alpha Plus is the only variant which offers XL6 buyers ventilated seats at a price of ₹12.97 lakh (ex-showroom). Now, the Alpha Plus is the top-end variant of the Maruti Suzuki XL6 and comes in four trims – Alpha Plus and Alpha Plus Dual Tone, both in automatic and manual transmission options.
The Maruti Suzuki XL6 is a 6-seats MPV which is powered by a 1.5 litre petrol engine along with a CNG option (which isn’t available in the Alpha Plus trim). The 1.5 litre naturally aspirated four cylinder petrol engine generates 101.64 bhp of power and 137 Nm of torque. The Maruti Suzuki XL6 is available in a 5-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed AMT automatic transmission.
2 – Tata Punch EV
Tata Punch, one of the cheapest EVs in the country is also one of the cheapest car with ventilated seats in the country. The Tata Punch EVs Empowered Plus variant, which is priced at ₹12.84 lakh (ex-showroom) is the cheapest variant of the EV that brings ventilated seats for the customers.
The Tata Punch EV is powered by a 25 kWh battery or a 35 kWh battery pack. Both of them offer a claimed range of 265 kilo meters and 365 kilo meters, respectively. The larger 35 kWh battery produces 120.69 bhp of power and 190 Nm of torque.
3 – Citroen Aircross X
The Citroen Aircross X is the latest update to Citroen’s Aircross SUV that was launched in 2025. With the Citroen Aircross X, buyers get ventilated seats only with the top-end X Max variant, which is priced at ₹12.80 lakh (ex-showroom) for the manual variant, and 13.94 lakh (ex-showroom) for the automatic transmission.
The Citroen Aircross X is powered by a 1.2 litre petrol engine which is good for 108 bhp of power and 205 Nm of torque. The Citroen Aircross X also comes in a 7-seater variant. Here also, ventilated seats are available only in the X Max variant.
4 – Tata Nexon
Tata Nexon’s Fearless Plus PS variant is the cheapest of the lot with ventilated seats, starting at a price of ₹12.17 lakh (ex-showroom). The Fearless Plus PS trim is the top-end variant for the Tata Nexon and it is also available in a CNG variant.
The Tata Nexon is powered by a 1.2 litre tubro petrol engine which produces 120 bhp of power.

The Tata Nexon is available in a 6-speed manual and a 7-speed DCT automatic transmission, along with an AMT automatic for the diesel Nexon.
5 – Kia Syros
The Kia Syros is one unconventional sub-4 meter car that we personally really liked at Smartprix. The Kia Syros is also the cheapest car in India to come with seat ventilation in the rear seats. The front seat ventilation, however, starts from the HTX variant, which is priced at ₹12.10 lakh (ex-showroom).
The Kia Syros comes in both petrol and diesel powertrains. The car comes with a 1.0-litre turbo petrol and a 1.0-litre naturally aspirate petrol engine, along with a 1.5 litre diesel powertrain.
6 – Citroen Bassalt
The Citroen Bassalt is one of the most striking compact SUV designs in the country in my opinion. This coupe-like compact SUV was also upgraded recently with the X trim and now comes with ventilated seats, only limited to the top-spec Max trim. The Citroen Bassalt X Max trim is priced at ₹12.08 (ex-showroom) onwards in India. The Citroen Bassalt comes with a 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine and a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine. The former is good for 110 bhp of power, while the naturally aspirated petrol engine only creates 82 bhp of power, which is quite less for a car of this shape and form.
7 – Skoda Kylaq
The Skoda Kylaq is the cheapest Skoda car in India. The Prestige variant of the Skoda Kylaq is the only one that comes with seat ventilation, priced at ₹11.99 lakh (ex-showroom). The Skoda Kylaq is powered by a 1.0 litre turbo petrol engine that creates 115 bhp of power and it is mater to a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission.
8 – Hyundai Venue
The Hyundai Venue was also recently updated to the new model in 2025. The Venue is one of the most popular sub 4-meter SUV in India. It offer seat ventilation from the HX8 trim which starts at a price of ₹11.91 lakh (ex-showroom). The HX8 is the second-to-top variant of the Hyundai Venue, which means that the top-end HX10 trim also comes with ventilated seats.
The new Hyundai Venue is powered by a 1.0 litre turbo petrol or a 1.5-litre diesel engine. The petrol version of the Hyundai Venue HX8 and HX10 comes with a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed DCT automatic transmission or a 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission.
9 – Kia Sonet
The Kia Sonet is also a popular sub-4 meter SUV in India. It was also the first car in this segment to bring ventilated seats for the passengers. The Kia Sonet’s top-spec HTX, GTX, and X-Line variants are the only ones that come with seat ventilation, starting at a price of ₹10.80 lakh (ex-showroom) for the HTX variant. The Kia Sonet is powered by a 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine and a 1.5-litre diesel engine. The petrol engine generates 120 bhp of power, while the diesel variant of the Kia Sonet makes 116 bhp of power.
10 – Renault Kiger
The Renault Kiger was updated in 2025 with a new, much improved car. The new Renault Kiger is also the cheapest car in India to offer ventilated seats now, starting at a price of ₹8.37 lakh (ex-showroom) for the Emotion trim. This is also the top-spec trim of the Renault Kiger. The Renault Kiger comes with a 1.0-litre N/A petrol engine that generates a meagre 72 bhp of power and a 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine that generates 100 bhp of power. The Renault Kiger comes with a 5-speed manual transmission or a CVT automatic transmission.
