Looking to possibly update my wife’s current Ibiza Xcellence (2017) to the new model Xcellence Lux in early 2022, notice the spec is very high and has a few nice extras compared to her current model.

I can’t seem to find heated seats listed on the spec is this correct, seems an odd omission and notice they are standard on the Arona which is basically the same car.

Is this the usual incorrect website/brochures again or just Seat UK playing funny stuff with UK specifications again?

Thanks

Thats a pity and an odd ommision not to worry car is still well spec’d.

Wondering now if wiring in place and if the button could just be added and coding changed to make the car think it has them???

Irish market can specify Winter Pack as a 400 Euro option so, the wiring for the heated seats may be in place - but I doubt it and almost certainly the standard seats we get in the UK won't have the heating elements built in, although you can buy generic retrofit kits.:unsure:

Seems the Irish get tons of options compared to the UK which doesn’t seem fair.

On the other hand it is much more expensive, spec for spec converting Euros to £ worked out about £2,500 more for the same car, so importing not even an option at that price difference.
