Warm Up with Best Cold Weather Features from Hyundai
With the dog-days of summer coming to an end, it’s time to start looking forward to cool days and nights, cozying up around the fire and staying warm with pumpkin-spiced lattes. Unfortunately, that also means braving the winter weather out on the roads. Whether that means somewhat brisk windchills or school-closing snow-mageddon, Hyundai offers high-tech features to keep you and your passengers in comfort and in control during the cold months ahead.
Break the Ice
There aren’t many nuisances more frustrating than having to deal with an iced-over car when you’re already running late on a cold morning. Hyundai models come standard with a traditional windshield defogging/defrosting system, which diverts climate-controlled air to warm the inside of the windshield, melting any accumulated ice on the outside. But Hyundai takes it a step further with push-button electronic defrosting for both of the power side-view mirrors and the rear windshield. Plus, if you live in an especially harsh winter climate, some models offer an available windshield wiper de-icer so your wipers keep working perfectly no matter the weather.
Cozy Climate Control
On the inside, you can enjoy multi-zone climate control features as a standard in most Hyundai models. That means passengers in each of the front seats can enjoy different temperature and fan settings simultaneously. In larger sedans and SUVs, you’ll even find separate available controls for passengers in the rear as well.
On some of Hyundai's more premium trims, both the driver and front passenger benefit from heated seats, which is about as good as it can possibly get on an ice cold morning. In addition, your fingers won’t feel the chill with the addition of a leather-trimmed heated power tilt/telescopic steering wheel, which is also available.
Remote Controls
All Hyundai models offer modern connectivity with integrated remote engine start using the key fob or through the innovative Hyundai Blue Link® mobile app. This free app can be downloaded on a compatible smartphone and paired with your vehicle. From anywhere in the world, you can use the app to remotely control vehicle functions, such as door locks or ignition. If you’re counting on a particularly cold morning, simply set your vehicle’s heating and side-view mirror and windshield defrosters when you park for the night. You can even schedule a remote start any day, any time. Whether your calendar is calm or chaotic, your car will always be the perfect temperature when you need it to be.
All-Weather Traction
If you ever have to drive in icy or even snowy conditions, you’ll be able to drive confidently knowing your Hyundai will provide the best control on the road. In addition to offering all-weather tires, several models—like the Santa Fe or Tucson—offer all-wheel drive to help ensure surefootedness even when the roads get nasty. All Hyundai models also feature traction control as standard.
If you’re anticipating slightly colder climates or even full-on blizzard shut-downs, Hyundai models have what you need to stay warm and safe out on the roads.
