Winter driving in Calgary can be a challenge, but Honda’s 2025 lineup is packed with features designed to keep you warm, safe, and in control—even in the harshest conditions. From heated everything to smart all-wheel drive, here are the best winter-ready features in new Hondas that will make you actually enjoy the snowy season!

1. Heated Seats & Steering Wheel 🔥

There’s nothing worse than getting into an ice-cold car on a freezing morning. Luckily, most 2025 Hondas now come with heated front seats (standard in many models) and available heated rear seats, so even passengers in the back stay cozy. And let’s not forget the heated steering wheel—because frozen fingers on the wheel are a thing of the past.

2. Honda’s Real-Time All-Wheel Drive (AWD) 

Winter roads can be unpredictable, but Honda’s Real-Time AWD with Intelligent Control makes sure you stay in control. Found in models like the CR-V, Pilot, and Ridgeline, this system automatically detects when extra traction is needed and sends power to the wheels with the most grip—helping you tackle snow, ice, and slush with ease.

3. Remote Start & Smart Climate Control 📲

Imagine stepping into a warm car without ever leaving your house. With Honda’s remote start (available on many 2025 models), you can warm up the engine and cabin before you even open the door. Some models even have smart climate control, which adjusts the temperature and defrost settings automatically based on outside conditions.

4. Snow Mode for Extra Traction ❄️

Several 2025 Honda models, including the Ridgeline, Passport, and Pilot, come with a Snow Mode setting. This feature adjusts throttle response and power distribution to give you the best traction possible on slippery roads. Just flip the switch, and your Honda is ready to handle the elements.

5. Automatic Wipers & Heated Side Mirrors 

Snow and ice can reduce visibility fast, but Honda has you covered. Available rain-sensing wipers automatically adjust speed based on moisture levels, and heated side mirrors help melt away frost and ice, so you don’t have to scrape them before driving.

6. Honda Sensing® for Winter Safety 

Honda’s advanced driver-assist technology, Honda Sensing®, is a game-changer in winter conditions. Features like:
✅ Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™) – Helps prevent skidding into another vehicle.
✅ Road Departure Mitigation System (RDM) – Helps keep you from sliding off the road.
✅ Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow – Maintains a safe distance even in stop-and-go traffic.
✅ Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) – Keeps you centered when roads get slippery.

7. Cabin Comforts & Cold-Weather Extras 

From a dual-zone automatic climate control system to available panoramic sunroofs that let in natural light on dreary winter days, 2025 Hondas make winter driving more enjoyable. Some trims even feature all-weather floor mats to protect against snow and slush.
