I have just acquired a 2015 1.2 petrol tekna, with a couple of months warranty left. Just had it in for heated seats not working, to be told they are working OK. can someone tell me how long they take to warm up, and how hot they get on full power.... Mine feel warm, but I am convinced that is more from my body heat.

If you have them on hi after about 5 mins they definitely get hot you can tell it's not your body heat

They get ‘comfortably warm’, not hot. Only takes a couple of minutes. It’s not the whole seat, just the lower back and the backs of your upper legs. They must also have a thermostat on them as you will feel the heat rise then subside whilst in use.

I often think that it’s me warming the seat rather than the other way around :)

My Full Leather seats in my brand new 2018 Tekna+ are taking ages to warm up. I have to drive for at least ten minutes before I can feel any warm at all. I don't know if it's the Leather seats or a bad heating system in the seats, that causes a slow seat warm up. When the warm comes, the seats do get pretty warm,but it take a while :D
Compared to my last three cars (Peugeot 407, Honda Civic, Citroen C5) the Qashqai has the slowest seat heating system for sure.

Mine are the same but they do get quite hot after about 15 minutes on the bottom setting on the switch. Mine is the Tenka+

On the High setting, I can feel the heat on my lower back within 10 seconds. Thereafter the heat is noticeable on the base of the seat (upper leg area) and towards the middle of my back in about 1 minute. That’s with me wearing a winter coat by the way.

I generally drop down to the Low setting after a few minutes.

My Qashqai has the cloth seats.

I would suggest that’s normal, mines always done it from new. Not necessarily cold, but it does seem to cycle on and off.

I can understand the thermostat keeping the heat down but not to the point where the seat goes cold for almost 13 minutes
