September brings cooler mornings and the promise of beautiful autumn drives through New Brunswick. The Saint John River Valley transforms into a canvas of red and gold, making it the ideal time to explore scenic routes with family and friends.
Toyota's interior features help you enjoy these crisp fall days in complete comfort. From heated surfaces that warm you up quickly to premium audio that enhances the journey, these thoughtful details make every autumn adventure more enjoyable.
Heated Steering Wheels: Instant Warmth for Chilly Mornings
Cold steering wheels can make those early morning drives uncomfortable. Toyota's heated leather-wrapped steering wheels solve this problem with quick warming that makes your hands feel comfortable from the first turn of the key.
Models like the 4Runner Limited, Tacoma TRD Sport, Crown, and Corolla Cross Hybrid XSE include this feature. The heating elements warm the leather quickly, so you don't have to wait or drive with gloves on during those first frosty mornings in Saint John.
Premium JBL Audio Systems: Soundtrack for Scenic Drives
Fall drives deserve great music. Toyota's JBL audio systems deliver clear, rich sound that enhances every mile of your autumn journey. These systems range from 8 speakers in models like the Corolla Hatchback to 14 speakers with portable Bluetooth speakers in the 4Runner Limited.
The premium audio experience includes features like amplifiers and subwoofers that bring depth to your favourite songs. From podcasts during the commute to family road trip playlists, the JBL systems make every sound crisp and clear.
Panoramic and Power Moonroofs: Connect with Autumn Skies
Fall weather brings some of the year's most beautiful skies—clear blue days ideal for enjoying views overhead. Toyota offers various moonroof options that help you connect with the changing seasons above.
The 4Runner Limited features a power slide/tilt moonroof, while models like the Crown include fixed panoramic moonroofs with power sunshades. These features let you enjoy natural light during sunny fall afternoons while maintaining climate control when needed.
Dual-Zone Climate Control: Everyone Stays Comfortable
Fall weather can be unpredictable—warm afternoons followed by cool evenings. Dual-zone automatic climate control lets drivers and passengers set their preferred temperatures independently. This feature appears across Toyota's lineup, from the Corolla Cross Hybrid XSE to the Crown Signia Limited.
The system automatically adjusts to maintain each person's preferred comfort level, so nobody has to compromise during longer autumn drives through the province's changing landscapes.
Heated and Ventilated Seats: Year-Round Comfort

Toyota's seating technology adapts to fall's temperature swings. Heated front seats warm you up during cool mornings, while ventilated seats keep you comfortable when afternoon sun heats up the cabin.
Models like the 4Runner Limited, Tacoma TRD Off Road Premium, and Crown feature both heating and ventilation in the front seats. Some models, including the Crown Signia Limited, extend heated seating to rear passengers as well.
Wireless Charging and Connectivity: Stay Connected Naturally
Modern fall drives need modern convenience. Toyota's wireless charging systems keep your devices powered without cables, while wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration let you access apps and navigation easily.
The 4Runner Limited includes wireless charging along with premium Toyota Multimedia systems. This technology keeps you connected to weather updates, navigation, and communication while maintaining focus on the beautiful fall scenery around Saint John.
