i think they are basically sister models from Hyundai and Kia. so its close enough. but between the 2000 Honda Civic i used to drive and the 1st generation Nissan Leaf i drive now its obviously that my new car had a lot more measures taken to remain cool. windows that are both tinted and smaller, more insulation....
@larrybruce485610 күн бұрын
I agree. The insulation factor, window tint, and glass UV makeup may make a difference. Just a Caution. I rented a car while visiting Palm Springs California a few years back. The car, a 2020 Mustang convertible. I left a water bottle in the cup holder while touring the Palm Springs Air Museum. The sun was so bright it caused a small burn hole in the driver's seat from the magnification of the water in the bottle. It cost $248 for driver seat repairs.

This was a no-brainer. Several years ago I was with a Realtor in Palm Springs California looking at homes for sale. She had a dark blue Jaguar. The temperature that day in August topped out at 118 degrees. In the 10 minutes we were inside a home, that car got hotter than a pistol inside. The following day, we looked at homes while using her white Lexus. The temperature that day topped out at 120 degrees. The interior was more tolerable. yes---color makes a big difference.

@billeldon21 күн бұрын
So much bogus. Remote sensor on the dash, but the other one on the console? Too many variables. Are you comparing outer sheet metal temp or the interior? If so, the comparison is invalid as the conditions are different. Either way, it’s clear that the exterior color has very little effect on the interior temperature.

Yes! That grey car is not that even dark. Does it have any metallic in it? Metallic colors, especially the lighter ones, reflect light a little better, but metallic paint breaks down in the sun quicker and you need to repaint sooner. Gotta love the white. If you have pets, you definitely don't want a dark colored car. Don't see the attraction in black cars. They also match the color of the street in the rain. Sometimes I think the head lights on law for whenever you are running your windshield wipers was developed because of the proliferation of black cars. (I not complaining about that.)

In July 2014 I bought a “Granite Black” Chevy to replace my white Cavalier. Black was last new one left on their lot, and option sheet said that black was a $900 option (you mean oven is an option?) Black was expensive because it was actually cooler inside. White car became daughter’s ride, both parked in same driveway, with all 4 windows open 1 inch, black was cool enough to fill out mileage report & day planner before starting up the car for afternoon work, all summer. White car interior was always too hot to attempt this without engine & A/C on!

My example that happened before was a 3 cm of snowfall was forecasted and for the first time ever when I wanted to be testing this and the results was on a white surface turned out to be 6 to 9 cm of snow accumulation instead of 3 cm.
