I wish there was a trim that doesn’t have the glass sunroof. I bet they could shave off 1k more if they made the base model have a regular roof instead. Summers are brutal where I live so the last thing I want is more sunlight and less insulation. A regular roof also won’t shatter in hailstorms.
I have the same challenges. Can anyone chime in that has experience with these full glass roofs on cars in the desert?
I'm in Florida and have one. It does get hotter then the car without. I coated the roof with a UV reflective material. It helps a lot but still not as good as a normal roof.
I have a glass roof but live in Los Angeles, though I’ve spent time in the Arizona desert. Honestly, I never thought about it.
You might be in luck. Nissan is apparently going to release a base model called the S sometime soonish. This is the mid model release, like what Nvidia does with their GPU launches.
I also dislike the whole roof sunroofs because they tend to be terribly echo-y in every Uber I've been in. Feels like I'm in a McDonald's tube slide.
