Model Year 2026 (MY26) – Confirmed & Speculated Changes

[Tempus Fugit]

It has always been single zone. If it is now dual zone for 2026 that is an update.

Interesting, that’s what I thought too. I test drove a 2026 and didn’t notice anything different with the controls to suggest dual zone. Here’s a screenshot of the website. I lay see a single zone control in the pic…

A change to dual zone seems highly unlikely. That would require changes that have not been documented by anyone at this point. The update is almost certainly a change to the current single zone system.

My ‘24 actually has a 6 zone system. Each of the four dash vents, the floor vent, and rear vents produce different temperatures of air at all times. Sadly, it’s not a joke.

lol Ineos getting really ambitious.

They going from 2 zone (cold front / hot back) to 3 zone hvac system?

That’s the advanced Continuously Variable Climate Differention drive at work

I am fortunate to be one of the lucky owners to not experience much in the way of HVAC gremlins. It is clunky to be sure but it generally heats and cools the cabin without drama. Not quickly, but it gets the job done if left on auto and with the temp adjusted to preference. If only we had a better understanding of why the system doesn't work on so many rigs. Unfortunately Ineos is never going to elucidate us in that regard.

I think there was an error in the marketing when auto spell check corrected to HVAC, should have read HAVOC

Based on how mine is working after 29,000 miles, I would say there is still air in the ones that aren't giving warm air when not on full heat.
The other issue is if running full heat for sometime it does mess up tje sensor no matter how cool it is. I find it need to blow full cold air for a while and then set warm, not full on hot and wait for it work and then leave alone.
