Do 2015 Mustangs have heated seats?
Yes. Heated front seats were available on some 2015 Ford Mustang models, but not on the base V6 trim. They were typically included with EcoBoost Premium and GT Premium trims or offered via a Winter/Cold Weather package.
Availability by trim and option packages
Below is a quick guide to which trims and options commonly included heated seats on the 2015 Mustang:

How to confirm if a specific vehicle has heated seats
To verify on a particular car you're considering, follow these steps:
- Inspect the center console area for a seat heater control button or switch, usually indicated by a seat icon with wavy lines.
- Check the window sticker (Monroney label) for language indicating heated front seats or a Cold Weather/Winter package.
- Review the car’s build sheet or option codes (often located under the hood, inside the door jamb, or in the owner's manual) for references to the Winter/Cold Weather Package or leather seating with heating.
- Ask the seller for the VIN-derived equipment list to confirm whether heated seats were installed.
If you find the feature but it doesn’t warm up, there could be a fuse or heater element issue that a mechanic should inspect.
Market variations and model-year nuances
In North America, heated seats were typically associated with higher trims (EcoBoost Premium or GT Premium) and/or the Cold Weather Package. Other markets or late-year builds could differ, so always verify with the specific vehicle’s documentation and options list for the exact configuration.
Summary

To confirm on a given car, check the seat heater control, window sticker, and option codes, or request the VIN-based build sheet.
