Feedback on AC

I'm looking for a little feedback from folks with a 450 wagon and black interior. How well does the AC cool down the interior after being in the hot sun? I guess the real question is, is the black interior much of a factor?

Thank you

US/North America or elsewhere? At least in the US, the wagons don't come dark tinted due to federal regulation. That will have a very large impact on your question.

I am so sorry. I thought our locations would be displayed. I am in the US. I did not pay attention to window tint and now see the car has none. I can have them tinted and add one of the Windesa shade kits:

I have tinted windows in my Audi wagon plus one of the kits.

I’ve got a patagonia red with tonka brown wagon, it’s 85f here today and no big deal, was 90f last week, however I had every piece of glass except the windshield (not legal here) tinted with xpel prime xr+ which is one of the higher end heat blocking (IR/UV) films available.

The 213 I’ve got is silver with whatever the light color leather is called, and they are surprisingly similar if they sit out in the sun all day, both have the same tint setup. The 213’s AC does seem stronger though but that could be a function of the vent Setup differences.

Thank you for the feedback and suggestion of the type of film to use. It seems to be readily available in my area. I think that and those German shades should do the trick for me.
