👉 Is a Black Car Really Hotter? How Much Hotter?

For rest of the world:
160F = 71C
112F = 44C
But you should measure inside the interior if there is some difference.

I live in Dallas. We have 13 cars. 4 of them are white and one is black. There is a big difference inside the car with the white cars. Much cooler. This is true folks

I live in Phoenix and I used to drive a black crown vic with no ac and I swear I could feel my brain cooking being stuck in traffic

Do the interior of Black and white car see if any difference!!

[PrimeAutotainment]

This is great! Glad you did this. I’d love to see how much of a difference it makes on the inside. 👍

[jefferybaxter]

WOW!! Big difference between the two colors for the same vehicle. Due to the fact that these were exterior temperature comparisons, just imagine what the interior temperatures would be. Much hotter for sure, especially for the black one.

But yet the hot south is full of black vehicles. And most of the vehicles have black interiors. And that makes air conditioning work lots harder.

Buy a white for summer and a black for winter😂😂

[bhirowoismu]

This is true. I work at toyota manufacturing. Brighter car colors have more cooler interior in context of temperature rather than darker ones. Good vid

Boy this video is going be trending 😂👍🏼

In the rust belt / and canada, black cars rust a lot slower because it helps the wet saline slurry evaporate much faster when it's parked outside. I barely hear that mentionned. Even when it's -20c you can have a warm interior if it's sunny out!

lol I am surprised all of these folks are surprised....isn't this basic science stuff? Black absorbs more light throughout the spectrum. Either way, still a fine video, mate.

[smelse]

Yeah, I just bought another black car with a dark gray leather interior. Some of us don't learn our lessons. #toasty

1:14 The prob with the white but in the glossy finish is that depending on darker areas it can absorb heat, and there are some other surfaces that don't absorb where it reflects from light areas.

great review, I had a black mx5 and now a white one, difference is huge. the black one, I can feel the heat radiating off of it when walking close to it in a summer day, not so much for white.
Also I like to rest my hand out on window and some time touching the outside door paint, black one is unbearably hot, burning my hand, while white one is ok, not too bad for a sunny hot day.

Thank you Mike for this experiments and great idea. And finally some ones post video like this one! Good video! Make anothet video that shows how hot get inside at window close and with with window little open like 1/4 inch just to see temp and compare!

[MistrMcGill]

I was always told it was hotter but I didn't realize it was that big of a difference! Great video 👍

[johntron]

Unlike every one of who got salty about why u did this. I appreciate the hard work and real temps

[markevans]

Nice information, but you have to realize the metallic in the paint will make the darker colors hotter than the plain white. Just my two cents. Raise the hoods on the cars and check the underside of the hoods for a truer temperature.

this is probably the best video on youtube comparing car temperatures... because you are usign the same exact model. while other videos are using different vehicle and year and all that. this is good. please do one with the interior of the car!
