I am sure someone will be along shortly to confirm, but I believe they get to a certain temperature and then switch themselves off, waiting until they get below that temperature (maybe 37C) before coming on again.
Like you, I have them in my Defender and my Volvo and the ones in my Volvo are much warmer and more noticeable than the Defender ones. |

Mine gets toasty but not super warm. They are quite basic compared to more modern ones that have variable settings. If I leave the Evoque ones on full blast, 10 mins later, I'm cooking.
The other point is, the XS seats are not leather on the pressure points and therefore won't feel as hot as heated leather seats. EDIT: I've also just checked the specs and the Defender has a 20amp fuse powering the heaters for both seats, the Evoque has a 15amp fuse per seat. So it's an indication that the heater loop in the Defender seats are lower powered. Not really scientific proof, but a good indication.

Mine are the same. Just enough to warm them up from initially being cold and to get you toasty. I normally turn them off soon anyway. Cheers, David Land Rovers of all shapes S3 onwards… Daily is a 110 V8. |

The only time I got really hot on it was back in the summer. It was almost 30 degree and I reached down to press the a/c button without looking and pressed the Seat Heater button instead Craig Rogers

Mine get hand-hot. Feels allright.
Prefer hand-hot seats if you're still family planning. |

They are not up to the standard of modern heated seats but you certainly know they are there on a cold day.

Both seats contain 2 heating elements; 1 in the cushion, 1 in the backrest, which are wired in series. The cushion elements in both front seats contain a thermostatically controlled switch. When the cushion element temperature reaches 37 ± 3°C (98 ± 3°F) the thermostat cuts the supply to both the cushion and backrest elements. When the temperature of the cushion element falls below 28 ± 3°C (82 ± 3°F) the thermostat reinstates the supply to both heater elements. |
