Auto Rear Climate Warmer Than Front?

[Tellthemride]

Does anybody drive regularly with passengers in the 2nd or 3rd rows in the summer time and use the Auto setting for rear climate controls? Have you been finding that your rear passengers need to set the temp cooler than in the front?

I feel like when I sit in the driver’s seat I can easily get cold with Auto climate control in the 70’s when it is 80 or 90 degrees out. But when I am sitting in the 2nd row captain chairs I need to blast the vents at fan speed 5 or higher with the temp set in the 60‘s to feel as cool as the front. I’m sure it is partly because the ceiling mounted vents are further from your body in the rear seats.

You can also change the way the vents blow in back. A direct air on you or a dispersed air flow which will probably take it longer to cool the back. We have the auto on for the back on even when no passengers are back there, cools the cabin off faster.
