A vehicle (101, Fig,1) comprises a passenger cabin, a row of seats (117, Fig.1) comprising left- and right-hand seats (105, 106, Fig.1), and a vent assembly (128, Fig.1) comprising an outlet (138. Fig.2) located forwardly of the seats. The vent assembly directs an air jet through the outlet along a jet axis projecting rearwardly between the left and right hand seats. The jet axis may be fixed and may project at an angle relative to a horizontal plane of no more than 30 degrees. The jet may have a height-width ratio at a position between the left and right hand seat greater than 1:1 and preferably at least 2:1. The jet may have a width between the left and right hand seats that is at least 80%, but no greater than 120%, of the width of a gap between the seats. The vent assembly may direct a second air jet through the outlet along a second jet axis projecting rearwardly and upwardly over the left or right hand seat. The vent assembly may direct a third air jet through the outlet along a third jet axis projecting rearwardly and upwardly over the other of the left or right hand seat.
