+1. Not unusual. If it is 60 degrees outside, it will be 70 degrees in the car with the windows up and all the vents closed.

The engine and transmission make some serious heat. Just put your hand on the side of the transmission hump. Nissan could have added more insulation material, but keeping the interior cool would mean additional weight.

thanks.

Do you mean no ventilation at all? With the windows up?

The cabin will fog up and get pretty warm if you do that. Ah, and that fog in the window is moisture comming out of your breath and body... Get some fresh air in please

It is partially due to the location of the in-cabin air intake...it is located right behind the battery, which means it is drawing air from the hot engine bay + air outside
