Hello my fellow northerners,
I am kind of planning on getting my first hybrid and there are some crucial things I need to get straight before I spend my money.
I know there have been quite a bit of topics about niro and winter but all of them are about mpgs. However I was wondering about heating in winter, as it can sometimes get to minus degrees Fahrenheit in winter (~ -20 Celsius) in the area. So for instance if I clean the car for about 5 minutes from snow, will it be enough for car to heat up for me to take off my winter coat and sit only in a sweater comfortably?
After all niro not a diesel and it's not a traditional as well.. it's a hybrid, which is why I was wondering how does the electric motor heat up the car, or does the actual gasoline engine gets the work done after you start the car and let it idle for 5 minutes?
