A vehicle includes a climate control system to thermally precondition a passenger cabin and a controller programmed to obtain a vicinity temperature from a vehicle sensor and receive location temperature data from a remote source. The controller is also programmed to activate the climate control system in advance of an upcoming trip and to set a first precondition criteria based on the vicinity temperature when the vicinity temperature is within a threshold range of the location temperature data. The controller is further programmed to set a second precondition criteria based on the location temperature data when the vicinity temperature is outside of the threshold range.
