Cars With Heated Seats Under Rs. 50 Lakh: Your Winter Comfort Wishlist

With the arrival of winters we are on the lookout for more features that can make our drives more comfortable in the cold weather. One of the features that is a boon when it comes to low outside temperatures are heated seats. While ventilated seats have become quite common even in cars that cost below Rs. 10 lakh, there are only a handful of choices that come with heated seats if you’re looking to spend under Rs. 50 lakh. Here are a few options.

Hyundai Verna

The new generation of Hyundai Verna when launched back in 2023 surprised everyone by offering seat heating in addition to seat ventilation making it the most affordable car in the market to come with this feature. The good thing is that its not just the top SX(O) trim that gets heated seats but also the recently launched SX+ which is priced starting at Rs. 13.31 lakh, ex-showroom. Both the front seats get heating which also makes it the only car in the segment to get this feature. The Ioniq5 is another Hyundai in India that gets heated seats.
