Model Year 2026 (MY26) – Confirmed & Speculated Changes

[Krabby]

I haven't been on the IA website in some time and while poking around just now I saw this: "heated windshield." I cannot find any other information. Do they simply mean there's a front defrost button as has been since day one or is this now something different (ie heating elements in the glass)?

I wondered the same thing. As far as I can tell, there is nothing to support a true heated windshield and the reported dual zone HVAC they refer anywhere when I sat in a 2026 model on the lot.

Makes sense to add, it's not that big a deal to include. I get the idea from day 1 was simple but the world doesn't want that, there are very few of us cavemen left where anything more that the wheel is just too much technology to handle
