MAZDA Offers Cold-Weather Amenities To Keep You Warm This Winter
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, Mazda models offer 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. Of course, all 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 MAZDA takes it a step further with push-button electronic defrosting for both of the side-view mirrors and the rear windshield.
Cozy Climate Control
On the inside, you can enjoy multi-zone climate control features as a standard in most MAZDA 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.
MAZDA's premium trim levels offer heated leather seats for both front and rear passengers, which is about as good as it gets on a cold morning. In addition, your fingers won’t feel the chill with the addition of a leather-trimmed heated power tilt/telescopic steering wheel, also available with the brand's more premium trims.
Remote Controls
MAZDA models offer modern connectivity through the brand's MyMAZDA mobile app. 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, then use the MyMAZDA app to start the car in the morning, allowing the cabin to warm up before you even step outside. You can control the app using a compatible smartphone or smartwatch. The wonders of technology!
All-Weather Traction
If you ever have to drive in icy or even snowy conditions, you’ll be able to drive confidently knowing your MAZDA will provide the best control on the road. In addition to offering all-weather tires, some MAZDA models, like the CX-5 or CX-9, offer i-ACTIVE® all-wheel-drive with traction control. This system uses the vehicle’s on-board computer to constantly monitor road conditions and automatically alter power distribution to maintain the best traction at all times. Plus, some models come available with a SKYACTIV® Sport mode to give drivers even more control over how the vehicle interacts with the road. With the press of a button, you can activate Sport mode, and your vehicle will instantly change how it sends power to individual wheels, optimizing traction and performance in challenging driving conditions.
If you’re anticipating slightly colder climates or even full-on blizzard shut-downs, Mazda models have what you need to stay warm and safe out on the roads.
