klaus80 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I'm looking to buy a new car and would like one with a heater in addition to the aircon. What current models have heaters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMHO Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) All models with climate control - i.e. you set the desired temperature in degrees Celcius - should have heaters, e.g. Those with both a red and blue sections on the dial should also have heaters: All others most probably do not. Look out for climate control as a feature first and foremost, but be sure to test it. There is one member here who has climate in a Fortuner, but which has no heater (or it has malfunctioned).

IMHO Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 If you give us an idea of what segment and/or budget you're looking at, we'll be able to reply with some models and variants with heaters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 My Mazda 2 from 2011. I assume it's unchanged (models are exported to colder countries in the region). Switch OFF the AC and turn the knob clockwise until you feel comfortable. Highest position gives real hot air inflow. I never tried to heat with AC on.

NUUM Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Let's add heated steering wheel, heated seats, heated front screen, and heated wing mirrors for the day that snow does land here... oh, and a second set of wheels fitted with winter tires/tyres just to be sure...

JoeW Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Why all the sarcasm. It's an honest question. This year 7 days cold. Last year in Kalasin more than 3 weeks of cold weather. Anyway as IMHO mentioned, best to inform what budget you have. My 4 year old PJS has a heater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeW Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Price range up to 1mill baht. Sedan, hatchback, pickup or crossover. Sedan or Hatchback: I think the Mazda 3 is the best looking of all 3 with climate control. Pickup: Ford Ranger. Cross-Over: HRV, but not sure it has climate control.

The top spec HR-V has single zone climate control. In the Ranger range, it's only the Wildtrak models that get climate control, but they're all also dual zone.

Quite intelligent planning, really. Many farangs have problems with forethought and foreplanning, so not surprising you have difficulty with it.

harrry Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 It is posssible to get original Toyota heaters fitted to Vigos. If the car is exported to many countries it will not be allowed to be registered there if it does not have one as this also acts as a demister (also signifigent in the northern regions of thailand). If you take you car with you (which could be woth it to Australia) it is best to do that here. I think the dealer can but there are companies specialising in exporting vehicles that could do it probably cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few years ago, this question was asked and someone who had gone into a lot of detail on researching the parts required concluded that it was economically unviable... There's just too many different and missing bits. Search won't find me the thread though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
