People’s ever-increasing needs encourage designers of various vehicles to search for solutions that will provide the most comfortable internal environment conditions. Currently, partly due to the COVID-19 threat, many people use their individual cars to travel to work, college, shops, trips, and holidays.

The article discusses the thermal comfort of four passengers of a modern car produced in 2017 to verify if contemporary production technology can successfully meet the thermal needs of people under actual conditions in the Polish climate. For this purpose, five temperature values were tested: 20°C, 22°C, 24°C, 26°C, and 28°C for the car located in the shade and sun.
