Why do so few manufacturers specify heated windscreens?
I want to replace my Freelander but I want a heated front screen on my next car. Why do so few manufacturers specify this? They are brilliant on frosty mornings. Will have to stay with Land Rover!

Heated windscreens are much more widely available than they used to be. Ford was the first manufacturer to have the technology and created a patent on it, with the brand name Quickclear. But that patent has expired. Jaguar, MINI, Skoda, Vauxhall, Volkswagen, and Volvo are among the manufacturers that now offer heated windscreens.

I've always bought Ford cars over the years and have become accustomed to having the facility of an electrically heated front windscreen. Do any other carmakers offer this?
I know most Fords do, but which other makes and models have an electrically heated windscreen?
I’m about to sell my 2016 Kuga 2.0l Titanium sport 4wd and the heated front windscreen has packed up! What would be the cost of a replacement screen to a car dealer please?
