Does any Toyota have ventilated seats?
Yes — ventilated seats, also called cooled seats, are available on select Toyota models, though they’re not offered across the entire lineup. They typically appear on higher trims or as part of optional packages, and availability can vary by market and model year.
Which Toyota models offer ventilated seats?
Ventilated front seats are most commonly found in mid-to-high trim levels of Toyota’s newer SUVs and minivans in markets like the United States. Below are models and trims where ventilated seats have appeared in recent years. Always verify the exact year and trim, since features can change with redesigns and regional packages.
- Toyota Highlander — typically available on Limited and Platinum trims (and sometimes bundled with other premium packages).
- Toyota Grand Highlander — offers ventilated seats on higher trims such as Limited and Platinum.
- Toyota Sienna — available on Limited and Platinum trims.
- Toyota Camry — ventilated front seats have appeared in certain model years on XLE and Limited trims.
Availability is not universal across all years or markets. If you’re shopping, check the specific vehicle’s window sticker or build sheet to confirm whether ventilated seats are included.
How to verify if a specific Toyota model has ventilated seats
To determine whether a particular vehicle has ventilated seats, use these checks. They’re helpful whether you’re shopping new or used, or reviewing online listings.
What to look for
- Seat control panel: Look for a button or icon labeled "Vent" or "Ventilated Seats" on the front seat controls or near the climate controls.
- Window sticker or build sheet: The feature should appear as "Ventilated front seats" or as part of a premium seat package.
- Climate control interface: Some models enable seat cooling via the main climate screen or a dedicated seat climate setting.
- Owner’s manual or dealer confirmation: If you’re unsure, consult the manual or ask the dealer to confirm availability by trim and year.
These checks help ensure the vehicle actually includes ventilated seating, since feature availability can depend on trims, packages, and regional specifications.
Summary
Ventilated seats are present in a subset of Toyota models, most notably on higher trims of the Highlander family (including Grand Highlander) and the Sienna, with occasional availability on the Camry in certain years. Because availability varies by year and market, always confirm the exact trim and package through the window sticker or dealer documentation when evaluating a Toyota model for ventilated seating.
