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.

I am restoring an old Porsche 964 and have been sorting out the HVAC. It just occurred to me that it could be the prototype for the Grenadier design... 3 fans and 5 servos to control the air flow and temperature. To make it even more complicated it has these vents that work off pressure differentials so you get hot or cold depending on which system has more pressure...

So my drive today was well ehhh... Drives the same too me at highway speeds but I did notice parking lot was faster response and slightly slightly better turn in... However not as good as mine with the FOX adjustable and turning in my stops.... Overall I'd say it is a no go for me on the ADAS mirror, I don't like it at all. Also highly doubt there will be option for wolfbox without constant codes being thrown. But to each their own I guess. If I was looking for one I'd hunt a 24 or 25 and call it a day.

Yep, those 911 SC and 80's 911 Carreras had HVAC controls that could easily be set to work against each other lol!
