Audi 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, Audi 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. Audi 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 Audi takes it a step further with push-button electronic defrosting for both of the power 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 Audi 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 Audi'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.
All-Weather Traction
If you ever have to drive in icy or even snowy conditions, you’ll be able to drive confidently knowing your Audi will provide the best control on the road. In addition to offering all-weather tires, several models—like the Q7 or A4 allroad®—offer quattro® all-wheel drive with ultra® system to help ensure surefootedness even when the roads get nasty. This intelligent all-wheel drive uses the vehicle's on-board computer to monitor road conditions constantly and automatically adjust power distribution to ensure optimal traction at all times.
If you’re anticipating slightly colder climates or even full-on blizzard shut-downs, Audi models have what you need to stay warm and safe out on the roads.
