By: Funk's Toyota   |   08 Nov 2017

The secret to surviving a Canadian winter is having a vehicle that you can rely on no matter what and none are better equipped to handle even the most brutal conditions than those made by Toyota. Smart, tough, safe, reliable, stylish and comfortable, Toyota vehicles are truly in a class of their own, and here we will look at some of their many winter-friendly features.

  1. Keyless Entry

Never again will you be left fumbling for your keys in the freezing cold trying to get inside your vehicle, because the latest Toyota models are equipped with Keyless Entry functionality. This means that as long as you have your keys in your pocket or purse your vehicle will unlock automatically the instant you grab the handle, which will certainly come in handy when you have your hands full with kids, tools, or groceries.

  1. Heated Seats

Canadian winters can leave you feeling chilled to the bone; however, Toyota makes warming up fast and easy by designing their vehicles to include heated seats. Most new models now come with heated front seats standard and heated rear seats available as an upgraded option.

  1. Power-adjustable Heated Mirrors

Keeping your side mirrors clear can feel like a never-ending challenge during winter, that is, unless you drive a Toyota. With just the push of a button your power-adjustable heated mirrors will clear ice and snow away quickly, while the integrated turn signals available will ensure that other drivers can see you just as clearly too.

  1. Windshield Wiper De-icer

Having your wipers free from ice is essential if you are any chance of keeping your windshield clear and thanks to Toyota this no longer means having to remove those constantly accumulating chunks by hand. The wiper de-icer feature showcased in the latest Toyota models will keep your wiper blades sharp, clean, and clear all winter long, making every drive safer, easier and much less stressful.

  1. Heated Steering Wheel

If you live in one of the colder parts of Canada a heated steering wheel will fast become one of your favourite things about your ride. Aside from providing a fantastic way to warm up while you are behind the wheel, it is certainly a lot easier to control your vehicle when it doesn’t feel as though you are holding a block of ice.

  1. Illuminated Entry

With the sun rising late and setting early during winter it can seem as though it is always dark outside and a lack of light increases the chance of slipping, tripping or falling as you get in or out of your vehicle. Toyota ensures that you have the visibility you need to stay safe all year round by including an illuminated entry system that provides a bright and warm welcome every time.
