I would really like the GT performance model but hate the idea of bucket seats.

has anyone been able to get any information from Kia whether they will offer the GT with the luxury heated and ventilated seats? I’m sure I am not the only one who would like this option.

Not sure. The GT seats also appear to be manually operated rather than powered (Note the official photos carefully keep the base of the seats out of the frame but other people who have taken videos of the GT at the Shanghai Auto Show briefly pan across the seats or floor as they got into the car and there was the bar for sliding the seat bottom.

On the other hand, heated and ventilated seats can be added on aftermarket. Not idea but it is an option.

Lack of ventilated seats on the bucket seats is basically a deal killer for me.

Hopefully someone from KIA UK will take note (I already emailed UK customer support about it)
