Hmmm. I just checked window sticker on our 2020 d5 and it is equipped with 4-zone climate under standard features on our Landmark edition that slots between the SE and HSE but has some odd ommissions and adds.... gets vents in b pillars on the 2nd row roof and something in the third row I havent looked at enough to remember

Like others, I assumed it was just individual rear temp controls and the vents would still be there. Already placed my order but I am still in the window where I can make changes...for like another week.
Confirming even without the rear air option, there are rear vents behind the center console. Also, even without rear air my Golden Retriever didn’t seem hot or antsy in the Texas summer. The AC is that good.

The IR and UV coating on the windows and moon roof are excellent.

My last day to modify my order is Nov 9. Just thought I’d bump this thread one last time. I still haven’t added the 3rd zone AC to my HSE build, I’d rather use that money for the expedition rack or potentially the Front Runner option. Anyone with or without the rear AC have any further opinions? Thanks!

The expedition rack can be added later. The rear AC no. Better get it than be sorry.
