I did turn the seats on in Europe without eco pro mode, and it seemed about the same weak lukewarm warmth as with the eco mode now. You don't even know it's on unless you see the control LEDs.

I do notice that the other VW with leather seats doesn't heat up as nicely or fast or as hot as the cloth seat VW TDI. There is a leather heat performance penalty, but the X1 was weak compared to the leather seat VW as well.
Have had set heaters in plenty of leather seat cars with no issues so I don't think that can blamed, have only driven the new X1 one day and didn't use them, will try it and see how they perform
