Hello, I am looking at purchasing a 2014-2015 SQ5 and would like to know if ventilated seats are an option, and if so what is the name of the package or trim that I should look for?
Luxury (Comfort) Package. Keep in mind they're not the sport seats though.

I have them in my 2016 SQ5, so it's definetly is an option. The thing is - at least here in Canada they are only available as "sold order" so odds are you won't see many of them in the dealerships' lots.
Just a heads up for you though from the practical point of view - ventilators do make some noise which may be annoying to those who like driving in a quiet cabin with radio off. I always listen to something while driving and I can barely hear them running, so it's not a problem for me. But I once lent my car to a friend of mine who does prefer a quiet cabin, and he brought this issue to my attention. Honestly before he told me I didn't even pay enough attention to notice this noise at all.
I appreciate the replies so far. So I assume that the ventilated seats are perforated? I'm still not sure what the difference visually is between the trims. Would someone please identify what trims I'm looking at below. Thank you. Is this considered a comfort/luxury seat? Is this the sport version variant?
Thanks for the photos! Indeed they do look perforated.
Yes they are. I also like that they blow air not only through the bottom of a seat, but also through the backside. So getting into the car during summer is not that bad as seats cool down quite quickly.

Yea I suspect that to be the case. When I mentioned ventilated seats to my sales rep, he immediately said it will have to be a "sold-order" meaning I will have to order it and wait for it to be built specifically for me and brought here. Same thing was with TPMS, rear door sunshades and adaptive cruise control/braking guard options. It was totally worth the wait though as I got my car just the way I wanted!
