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....
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.
I have a white car and a black car, and let me tell you, the white car cools down much faster, great for summer, while the black one keeps heat better and is great for winter.
Different models and even different trims of the same car can have differences in the insulation of the roof. Repeat the test with the same make, model, year AND trim of vehicle.
This is the reason why many UPS drivers are more like to faint during delivery than FedEx and USPS drivers since the vans are mostly colored white while UPS is very dark brown.
Did you check those thermometers next to each other to make sure they measure the same temperature? I have one like that and it says in the manual that the temperatures on the outside sensor can be different than the inside sensor even sitting next to each other.
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.
Basic science. Would’ve been great if the reporter included how we see color and why. Same is true regarding the color clothes you wear. That’s why Obama wore that tan suit in the summer that caused a complete meltdown of the idiots on Fox News.
@@sportbikejesus Wut? The fabric is the same - the only difference is the color and thus the way light is absorbed, not body heat... There's also studies on clothes if you're interested
I purchased a custom fit windshield sunshade for my car. Dramatically reduced heat versus universal fit sunshades. Looking into getting side window shades.
The media assumes the public is stupid. That is why the Harris/Walz administration is praising cackling, do-nothing Kamala Harris and tampon Tim Walz hoping the voters will believe everything that comes out of their mouths, including tampon Tim Walz lies about his Military service and Kamala will close the border, lower crime, inflation, and resume fracking. Don't believe a word cackling, do-nothing Harris/Walz says.
Because the colour black absorbs all light and mixes the rays of colour into black, whereas the colour white is the absence, (not UV rays) reflecting all light and the rays of all colours! It’s Basic Grade 9 Science!
Cool fact: did you know that even with when snow falls on a painted white surface it causes the snow to fill up 2 to 3 times faster and last 2 to 3 times longer then a neutral colour surface. 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.
Use a good dash cover like Heatshield brand dash cover. It makes a huge difference in the amount of Sunlight and heat that enters the vehicle compartment. The airline industry uses those shields to cover the cockpits when aircraft are parked on the flight line.
One thing to note- the gray car has been repainted wrongfully. The bad orange peel tells the obvious story. That's the bigger factor, as it attains more heat due to the thickness and inconsistencies of the bad paint job (2:20)
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.
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.)
The temperature of the console depends on radiation from sun if it's in direct sunlight and depends less on the air temperature. The black car has a lighter colour central console so it reflects more radiaton that's why it's cooler
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!
Albedo effect... This is why everything is Greece is given white-washing... And why all architecture in hot climates should follow the same aesthetic and in some nations? It's now law to paint your roof white to save on cooling costs...
Just one of many comments not understanding the thing being tested. Nobody questioned whether the exterior of the dark car would be hotter. The test was to see if that caused the interior to be hotter.
@@sportbikejesus Nice try. These people TESTED the outside of the cars. They tested the temperature of the center console, a material inside the car. And lastly they tested the inside air temperature. Go away with this nonsense that I didn't know what they're testing and the point of the test etc.
Yellow and Red colored cars oxidize faster than any other color out there. Keep a good wax on it or it will eventually peel the clear coat protective seal.
Color does matter. But it also depends the car qualiti of insulation. Depends how is insulated. For example try a white kia sedan and white mercedes sedan. There will be a huge difference. Kia is made with cheap plastic and no insulation.
I'd never purchase a black/dark color car if I lived in a hot region like Arizona, and even the car's interior I'd try to spec it with a light color if buying new. The same way that I'd never buy a white car with white interior if I lived in Canada or Nordic countries, it would feel like entering a snow pile!
wait...did they just come to the realisation that people don't buy more white cars in the summer? what do they think cars are? shoes? u do realise people tend to keep the same car around for more than 6 months.
White = combination of no colors ( colors= all wavelengths of sunlight ) . So it reflects back light like a mirror at the top . The inside temperature seems like the light that entered through the windshield and windows and both being black had similar temperatures. Luckily, my car is white and interior is beige😂
Put sensor on Grey car on dash in direct sun. Put thermometer in white car on center console in shade. Not very scientific. Supposed to be done under same conditions.
@@NemeanLion- my point was you can feel a diff in 8 degrees ambient temp. Go turn your ac from 68 degrees up to 76 degrees and tell me you feel no difference in your house haha
@@PhaseSkater I never said you can’t notice a difference. It’s a car that’s left outside, and not my house. A car that is warmed up or cooled down in a minute with climate control or by opening your windows. 8 degrees in a car is NOTHING, which makes this story and buying a white car ridiculous for the purpose of deflecting heat.
@@NemeanLion- if I want to pop my hood with my black car in the sunlight, I legit need gloves or I get burns and blisters. Literally can’t even touch car paint
Yes, it absolutely does matter. There's a reason we paint the top of everything here white, duh.
Albedo effect! Grade 6-9 level science for ya!
Also get ur car windows tinted w ceramic tint.
@@stickynorth Or even Primary School ...?
Red is the best.
For future reference, maybe use the same car model but in different colors, as the model of car may have an impact on the results
Agree. There were other variables at play, too. It wasn't a scientific test.

The white car has tinted windows and possible tinted windshield. Dark gray did not.
Should have had the same car in the two colors. There are other variables, like the different rakes of the windshields
As a black man, I can confirm this. 😂
Любой человек станет black man если долго ходит под солнцем).
I have a white car and a black car, and let me tell you, the white car cools down much faster, great for summer, while the black one keeps heat better and is great for winter.
I thought that was common knowledge SMH lol
They gotta tell the truth now and then for credibility
I was thought this as a teenager
How did it go from a gray car to a black car back to a gray car?
It got tan
PC
The sun has already faded the pain!
They forgot the tint factor, tint plays a big role.
I had a white car with ceramic tinted windows and vent visors, the trifecta makes a huge difference when it’s parked in the hot sun all day at work.
Ceramic tint is truly impressive. I’ve had it on a few cars here in central Florida.
I’m sorry- you say “ more white cars are sold all the time” but the graph at 2:27 has a Black line higher than White. Is the graph mislabelled?
BINGO! Which is it? I suspect black cars sell better... Even here...
I think they misspoke and said white
Does anyone still take msm seriously anymore
I noticed that too. Misinterpreted the chart.
Or maybe the chart was wrong
@@pleasedontwatchthese9593They couldn't decide if the one car was black or grey either.😅
Different models and even different trims of the same car can have differences in the insulation of the roof. Repeat the test with the same make, model, year AND trim of vehicle.
He measured the center console of one being bright grey and the other one was black. Of course the black was hotter. What the heck?
That and the materials are different. The dark car had a cloth center console which wouldn't heat up as much as the other material.
@@jjay350 yup exactly! only thing that mattered was ambient car temps and paint
It's a reporter. They can read.
They also know
Wait, there's nothing here....
This is the reason why many UPS drivers are more like to faint during delivery than FedEx and USPS drivers since the vans are mostly colored white while UPS is very dark brown.
Very informative! It’s like I never was sure about this. Now I can cool off.
Did you check those thermometers next to each other to make sure they measure the same temperature? I have one like that and it says in the manual that the temperatures on the outside sensor can be different than the inside sensor even sitting next to each other.
Both interiors were black so maybe that is why they were equally hot.
Yeah they should have tested this with a white car that has a tan interior as well.
They were using a surface thermometer so not testing the air temperature until the last measurement
Next--------------Does a dirty car use more gas than a clean car due to wind resistance ???

It was Obama's arrogance, his "apology tour" and "he could do no wrong" from the lame stream media, that
drew more heat ! ! !
How we see colour has nothing at all to do with this. Basic science.
Red and similar reflects low energy photons while blue reflects high energy that would potentially damage paint over time
Old wives' tale? You mean science?
