Why don't most cars on European roads have skylights?

Before answering this question, let's take a look at another question: Why do most cars in China have windows?

First, prevent harmful gases from entering the carriage. Traffic jams are common in most cities in China. At this time, the exhaust gas from the surrounding cars will be in the nearby air. At this time, you can open the skylight and close the surrounding windows. The harmful gas in the car will be discharged out of the car with the skylight, and the air outside the car can filter out harmful substances through the air conditioner and enter the car.

Second, it is hot in summer, and the temperature inside the car is higher than that outside. You can open the skylight first to get rid of the hot air at the top of the car, and then turn on the air conditioner to cool down, and the overall temperature will drop faster.

Third, release harmful gases. The decoration in the car will inevitably produce toxic and harmful gases such as formaldehyde and benzene. Using the principle of negative pressure ventilation in the form of skylight, these gases can be effectively discharged.

Fourthly, the comparison of China people. Many families buy things, and your family can't live without mine, which leads to many additional things when people buy things. Taobao even has window stickers and quite a few orders to buy, which just illustrates this point.

Then let's compare and see why most cars on European roads don't have skylights.

First of all, the air in Europe is good. Europe is vast and sparsely populated. Traffic jams rarely occur except in the economic and political centers of various countries. In addition, the acceptance criteria of European standards are far stricter than national standards. The harmful gas of formaldehyde in industrial products in Europe is very low, so don't worry too much about the harmful gas in the car.

Second, Europeans themselves. The psychology of comparison is not as strong as ours. As a tool, the car itself is enough, and many families who like to travel need to install a toolbox on the roof. Skylights are completely unnecessary.

Finally, Europe is rich. To put it bluntly, there are basically more than two cars in each family, and convertibles are more common. For people who pay attention to function, they can completely give up the skylight function of the family car and choose a convertible closer to the sun.
