Purpose and function in the vehicle

The presented air vent is designed for installation in the rear part of the centre console, in the area for rear-seat passengers. It is responsible for directing and distributing air from the air conditioning or heating system, which improves thermal comfort in the second row of seats. This component is important from both an ergonomic and aesthetic point of view – a missing or damaged vent affects travel comfort and the visual perception of the interior.

Construction, fitment, and colour scheme

The vent has been designed specifically for installation in the centre console of the X253 family models, taking into account factory mounting points and panel geometry. The black finish allows for a consistent match with most interior configurations typical of this vehicle generation. The louver design allows for adjustment of the airflow direction, enabling rear-seat passengers to set the ventilation individually.

Characteristics of the used component

The offered air vent comes from dismantling, which means it is a used part that retains its factory origin and geometry. This type of component is a good choice for users who want to maintain the original character of the interior while avoiding uncertain quality replacements. A used element also allows for reduced repair costs while maintaining compatibility with factory mounts and the cockpit's stylistic line.

Benefits of using an original air vent

Using an original air vent in the rear centre console translates into several practical benefits:

• maintaining a consistent interior appearance in line with the manufacturer's design,
• secure fitment to the console without the need for modifications,
• proper operation of the airflow direction adjustment,
• easier installation thanks to the factory mounting design. For users who care about the comfort of rear passengers and cabin aesthetics, replacing a damaged vent with an original component is a simple way to restore full functionality to the ventilation system.
