Does the Lexus NX have cooling seats?
Yes. Ventilated front seats (often called cooling seats) are available on certain Lexus NX trims as part of optional packages, but they are not standard on the base model.
What are ventilated seats and why they matter
Ventilated seats use perforated surfaces and built-in airflow to pull warm air away from the body, helping reduce heat and moisture on hot days. In the Lexus NX lineup, this feature has appeared in higher trims or as part of premium packages in several markets, though availability can vary by model year and region.
Availability by trim and package
Before listing, note that the exact availability depends on model year and market. The following patterns are commonly observed in recent NX configurations.
- Higher-trim NX variants (for example, Luxury and/or Executive packages) often include ventilated front seats as part of the package content
- In some markets, ventilated seats appear as a standalone option or bundled with technology or comfort packages
- Base NX models typically do not include cooling seats unless the option is added via a package
Because packaging and feature names vary by year and region, buyers should verify with a dealer or the official Lexus configurator for their specific vehicle.
How to verify on your vehicle
Check the window sticker and the equipment list in the dealer’s build sheet, or look for a “Ventilated Front Seats” or “Cooling Seats” designation in the options. On many NX configurations, there will be a dedicated seat control button or a climate-control sub-menu indicating ventilation for the front seats.
Other comfort features to consider
In addition to cooling seats, the NX lineup frequently offers heated front seats, dual-zone or tri-zone climate control, and various comfort packages that can include memory seats, power adjustments, and additional seating amenities depending on the year and market.
Summary
The Lexus NX can be equipped with cooling (ventilated) front seats, but this feature is not standard on the base model and its availability depends on the year, trim, and regional market. Prospective buyers should consult the official Lexus configurator or their local dealer to confirm current options for their specific NX configuration.
