My Winter Car expands on the familiar survival-mechanic formula with a new winter setting, harsher conditions, and a refreshed lineup of vehicles. While the game is currently in early access, it already includes a mix of player-owned vehicles, NPC traffic, race machines, and environmental props that shape how you move, work, and survive in frozen Finland.
How Vehicles Work in My Winter Car
Vehicles in My Winter Car are not just transport tools. They are deeply tied to survival mechanics, daily jobs, temperature management, and progression. Some vehicles belong to the player, some are controlled by NPCs, and others exist only to populate the world realistically.
Snow depth, broken windshields, heating systems, and terrain all influence how useful a vehicle actually is during gameplay.

Player-Owned Vehicles
These are the vehicles the player can directly use and rely on throughout the game.
1. Corris Rivett
The Corris Rivett is the main project car in My Winter Car. It serves as the long-term buildable vehicle, similar in importance to the Satsuma from My Summer Car. Players assemble it piece by piece, choosing between different transmissions depending on available parts.
Because it must be built manually, the Rivett represents mechanical progression rather than immediate convenience. Once completed, it becomes one of the most flexible vehicles available.
2. Sorbett
The Sorbett is the player’s primary transport at the start of the game. It is available immediately and is designed to handle daily tasks while the Rivett is still under construction.
Unlike the Rivett, the Sorbett does not require assembly and functions as a reliable everyday vehicle during early gameplay.
3. Jonnez ES
The Jonnez ES moped returns in My Winter Car after appearing in developer streams. While limited in speed and protection, it offers quick local movement and a familiar option for players who enjoyed it in the previous game.
Vehicles Owned by Other Characters (Drivable)
These vehicles belong to NPCs but are still drivable or usable in certain situations.
4. Bachglotz
The Bachglotz replaces the Ferndale as Fleetari’s loaner car. It serves as temporary transport when the player’s own vehicles are unavailable.
5. Gifu
The Gifu truck is expected to return, though it may receive changes or be replaced by a new truck model in later updates. Its exact final role is still evolving during early access.
6. Kekmet
The Kekmet tractor makes its return with winter-specific modifications. It is uniquely suited for snow conditions and is the only vehicle that does not immediately bog down when driving off-road in deep snow.
Non-Driveable Vehicles You’ll Encounter
Not every vehicle in My Winter Car is meant to be driven. Many exist to populate the world or support immersion.
7. Burnet Ferndale
The Burnet Ferndale returns only as a static prop. Unlike its previous appearance, it cannot be driven in My Winter Car.
8. Hayosiko Pace
The Hayosiko Pace van appears near the player’s uncle’s shed. Although familiar, it is immobilized and heavily worn, serving purely as environmental detail.
9. Heppa
The Heppa is Pena’s red pickup truck. It can be seen being driven by its owner but is not accessible to the player.
10. Bus
The bus reappears as a rideable vehicle. While you cannot drive it yourself, you can use it as a passenger to travel longer distances.
Highway Traffic Vehicles
Traffic plays a larger role in winter driving conditions.
11. GalaxyLiner (Highway Van)
The GalaxyLiner is a detailed highway NPC vehicle seen frequently on main roads. It follows the reduced winter speed limit and adds life to long highway routes.
12. Amis Cars
Amis cars return as part of the social and racing culture in the game.
13. Techno Victra
The Techno Victra is expected to return with visual updates. It remains associated with the Amis group.
14. Marjada
The Marjada is a new NPC vehicle based on a classic design. It appears to be driven by a new character exclusive to My Winter Car.
Race and Rally Vehicles
Racing remains a key part of the game’s identity.
15. Folk Race Cars
Ice track races feature multiple known jokki cars, including familiar names from My Summer Car. These vehicles are AI-controlled and appear during organized race events.
16. Rally Cars
Rally sprint events are expected to feature updated vehicle models, potentially based on newer all-wheel-drive platforms. These cars are not player-owned but play a major role in racing scenes.
Other World Vehicles
Some vehicles exist outside normal driving gameplay but still impact immersion.
17. Police Pölsa
Police vehicles are expected to return, with the possibility of active patrols and speed enforcement being added in future updates.
18. Train
The train reappears as part of the world’s infrastructure, reinforcing the rural setting and transportation network.
Vehicle-Related Survival Mechanics
Vehicle behavior directly affects survival in winter conditions:
- Driving off-road in most vehicles causes immediate snow entrapment
- Broken windshields prevent interior heating
- Sleeping inside a vehicle is only safe if the engine is running and heat is active
These mechanics ensure that vehicles are not just transport, but survival tools.
While My Winter Car is still evolving, its vehicle lineup already offers variety, challenge, and strong mechanical depth. From buildable project cars to unforgiving snow tractors and immersive NPC traffic, every vehicle contributes to the game’s survival-focused design.More Gaming Guides
