Those in warm climates, how hot do your seats get in the sun?

What color seats do you have, and how hot do they get in the sun when temps are high?

I'm in Arizona and a SWP GT2 would be my first choice if it came with red nappa.

I'm wondering just how hot the black leather seats get from being in the sun.

I can't recall just how much of a "true black" the Stinger seats are from my test drive - my '12 Optima's seats are more of a dark gray and don't get as hot as some I've sat on (bmw, merc).

The black is black. LOL

Kia does put UV glass in the Stinger to cut down on heat and fading of the interior.

From an black nappa leather owner. They get very hot! Good thing I've got cooled seats.

I have tint on all my glass to mitigate the amount heat coming in, but it still gets hot. Can't imagine how it must be without tinted windows.

Get your tint ceramic tinted to include the windshield 50%, eyebrow 5% and moon roof at least 50% and it will keep seats low. You can put your hand under a heat lamp with ceramic coated glass in-between and you will not feel the heat at all if it's at least 50%. Try it.

That's part of the reason I splurged for a blue GT2 with the ivory interior. A lot cooler plus it breaks up that all black interior nicely.
