Hidden Easter Eggs in Your Car!

Apr 17, 2022

Since today is Easter Sunday, we thought it would be super fun to highlight some of the easter eggs that are hidden in some of our favourite cars! These fun little treats are a manufacturer and engineer’s way of paying homage to the automotive enthusiasts, and even give a nod to older models of years past. Take a short walk out to your driveway and check the details on your new car from Classic Auto Group, or feel free to “hippity-hop” over to our dealerships this week if you’d like to see them in person!

The 2022 Toyota Tundra has several easter eggs hidden in its design. The first is on the driver’s side as you open the hood, where you’ll find the state of texas stamped into the plastic near the grille, meant to represent the fact that it’s built in Texas. On the passenger side, you’ll find the shape of MIchigan stamped into the black plastic to represent that the new Tundra was researched and developed in Ann Arbor! The 2022 Tundra windshield also has morse code hidden in all of its trucks regardless of what trim package you choose. The secret message: BADASSTRUCKS. Tundra 4×4 models also feature hidden holographic stickers on both sides of the truck bed to signify the’re off-road ready; shine a flashlight on them at just the right angle and you’ll spot shimmering trucks driving up and down the numbers!

Toyota Prius owners who bought a model 2016 or newer can find a hidden feature by using the key fob. Press and hold the unlock button and all of your windows will unroll at once, perfect for letting out the heat during summer months. Ready to park the car in a shady spot? No worries, just push and hold the lock button on your key fob and they’ll all roll right back up again!

The 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross has 24 hidden Toyota Logos emblazoned in discreet spots around the vehicle besides the usual spots. You can find one etched into the window between the C-Pillar and the hatch, one at the base of the windshield, one inside the front grill on the lower left side, one hidden inside the plastic trim on the passenger side-view mirror, and lots more. See how many you can find on your own.

Some models of the Kia Soul have a hidden compartment in the trunk section. To see if your car has it, take a peek at the trunk to see if there’s a handle; lift that handle and you’ll find a convenient organizer with enough room to store roadside assistance items such as tools, blankets, towing cable, flashlight, charge cables, and more!

The 202 Kia Soul has a Sound Mood Lighting System that emits soft glow from the center door panels, and a 3D pattern on the upper door panels. It will synchronize the lighting to the beat of the music, and the lights can be customized to any color of the rainbow.

Some models of the Kia Telluride have an option for ambient lighting! Place your car in park, and tap the “vehicle settings” on the infotainment screen. From there, you’ll be able to select the Ambient Light menu and adjust the lighting color and the brightness. It’s a fun little hidden feature to impress your friends or add a little mood lighting to your next drive-in movie.

The Hyundai Veloster has a little easter egg game built into the infotainment system. The car’s Blue Max Game tracks driving habits and rewards the driver with bonus points for being eco-friendly and fuel efficient! You can’t really do anything with the points, but it’s a fun little reminder to improve driving habits and fuel consumption.

The Hyundai Genesis has a hidden light under the side mirror that illuminates and projects the logo on the pavement.

The Hyundai Sonata added some built-in relaxation into their infotainment system with a series of ambient noises. Just select the “Sounds of Nature” option!
