2018 E300 Luxury. Ventilated MB-Tex?
Hi all,
i noticed if you build an E300 luxury on MBUSA.com, it will allow you to select heated and ventilated front seats with the luxury (perforated) MB Tex, and doesn’t force you to select a leather option. On the sport model, it will not allow you to select ventilation with the standard (non-perforated) MB Tex.
Is this just a website error, or can you really get ventilated MB Tex seats on a 2018 E300 luxury?
thanks!

i just now tried to get ventilated seats without leather, but it won't le me.
Would ber great to have this option/combination;
I'm not a huge fan of leather, but have it because of the ventilated seats,
(which all in all becomes quite an expensive option this way)

I noticed this too that it allows me to add ventilated and heated seats without having to add leather. I wish the Sport would allow this because ventilated seats in Florida are much needed.
I have a feeling, if this is not a mistake, this is a way to make the luxury line more appealing to people.

I have an '18 with ventilated leather seats. I love them! That said, I would never buy a car without leather seats. Leather breaths, plastic does not.
Even high end MBTex is excessively hot to sit on in the Florida weather. BTDT
BTW I'm in Clearwater enjoying the Winter like 70° to 80° weather.

as a side note - MB's ventilated seats are not cooled seats and just uses a fan to blow the same air within the cabin. its very unnoticeable and i think there are more complaints about it than appreciation. I have it as well and hardly makes a difference in my new C43.
