Which Hondas come with heated seats?

Heated seats are available on many Honda models, but they typically appear on mid- to high-level trims rather than the base versions. If warmth is a priority, you’ll generally want to look at trims above the entry level.


Availability can vary by model year and market, so it’s important to check the specific year’s spec sheet or ask a dealer to confirm. This overview highlights which Hondas commonly offer heated seats and how to verify the feature for a particular vehicle.


Models that commonly include heated seats


Across Honda’s current lineup, heated front seats are a common feature on mid- to high-level trims. The following models are typically offered with this feature on at least some trims, though exact year-by-year availability depends on the market and the model year.



  • Civic

  • Accord

  • CR-V

  • HR-V

  • Passport

  • Pilot

  • Ridgeline

  • Odyssey

  • Insight


Because trim lines and feature packages change over time, heated seats may be present on different trims or configurations from year to year. Always confirm with the dealer or consult the official Honda spec sheet for the exact model year you’re considering.


How to verify heated-seat availability for a specific year/model


To ensure you’re looking at the right configuration, follow these steps before you buy or bid on a used Honda:



  1. Check the official Honda model page for the specific year to see the advertised seating features.

  2. Review the vehicle’s window sticker (Monroney label) or the build sheet to see whether heated seats are listed for that trim.

  3. Ask the dealer to confirm whether heated front seats are included on the trim you’re evaluating, and whether any optional packages add them.

  4. Reference reputable reviews or owner forums for year-specific confirmations, using them as a supplementary check.


For used purchases, verify the trim level in the vehicle’s history or original build documentation to ensure the feature was included from the factory.

If you want this feature, target models like the Civic, Accord, CR-V, HR-V, Passport, Pilot, Ridgeline, Odyssey, and Insight on trims above the base level, and confirm the exact year’s specifications with the dealer or Honda’s official resources.
