Summer is the season of sunshine, adventure, and unforgettable road trips—but it also brings scorching heat, sweaty car seats, and stuffy interiors. Whether you’re commuting to work or heading off on a weekend getaway, driving in the heat can be uncomfortable, draining, and even unsafe. That’s where ATU steps in. With smart and affordable products like sunshades, seat covers, cool boxes, and fans, ATU helps you and your car stay cool, comfortable, and road-ready.
Want to enjoy a more comfortable ride this summer? Here are the top 9 accessories to keep your car cool with ATU.
1. ATU Car Fan
When you step into a car that’s been parked in the sun, the first thing you want is fresh & cool air. Even if your air conditioning works well, it often takes a few minutes to cool down the space. That’s why a car fan is one of the smartest summer accessories you can have.
ATU offers a variety of compact, easy-to-use 12V car fans that plug right into your car’s cigarette lighter or USB port. These small but powerful fans help circulate air quickly throughout your vehicle. They’re perfect for speeding up the cooling process when you first get in the car or for keeping passengers comfortable during long drives—especially those in the back seat who don’t feel the AC as much.
Some fans from ATU can be clipped onto headrests, dashboards, or center consoles. Many models rotate and tilt so you can point the airflow exactly where you need it. They’re also ideal for drivers of older cars that don’t have strong AC systems—or no ACs. Plus, they use very little energy, so you can keep them running without draining your battery.
2. Sun Protection Shields
Direct sunrays don’t just heat your car—they damage car interiors too. The powerful UV rays can cause your dashboard to crack, your seat fabric to fade, and even make seatbelt buckles too hot to touch. ATU’s windscreen sunshades and side window covers are designed to reflect sunlight and reduce the inside temperature of your car. These shields work by blocking heat before it enters the vehicle, helping to keep the interior up to 15–20°C cooler on hot days.
Choose from foldable sunshades for quick and easy setup or pop-up designs that store neatly in your glove box or trunk. ATU also has mesh sunshades for side and rear windows, which are especially useful for families with children or pets riding in the back seat. They let light in without the heat and offer some privacy, too.
By using sunshades regularly, you’ll also reduce the load on your car’s air conditioning, saving fuel and energy. Plus, your interior will look newer for longer with less fading and wear.
3. ATU Cool Boxes
There’s nothing better than reaching for an ice-cold drink during a hot summer drive. Whether you’re heading to the beach, planning a picnic, or taking a long road trip, a cool box is a must-have item to keep your food and drinks fresh and ready to enjoy.
ATU offers a great selection of cool boxes to suit every type of trip. From compact 8-litre passive models that are perfect for short drives and solo adventures, to larger electric coolers that plug into your car for long-lasting chill—there’s something for everyone. These boxes are ideal for keeping water bottles, juices, snacks, sandwiches, and even medication or baby bottles at the right temperature, no matter how hot it gets outside.
Electric models from ATU come with cooling and sometimes heating functions, giving you extra flexibility on the road. They’re great for camping, family holidays, or even as a portable mini-fridge while traveling.
Cool boxes are also perfect for reducing the number of stops you make during a trip. You can skip the gas station snack runs and have your favorite treats with you at all times.
4. Breathable Seat Cushions
There’s nothing worse than sticking to a hot leather seat—especially if you’re wearing shorts. Sticky, overheated seats can make even the shortest drive feel unbearable. Luckily, ATU’s breathable seat cushions and covers offer a simple and effective solution to this sweaty summer problem.
ATU provides a variety of seat cushion styles designed to keep you cool, comfortable, and supported during hot weather. From classic bamboo bead covers that promote air circulation to modern mesh and ventilated fabric cushions, there’s something for every car and comfort preference.
These cushions aren’t just about beating the heat—they also help improve your posture and reduce pressure on your back and legs during long drives. Many are designed to fit snugly onto your seat, making them easy to install and remove. Plus, they protect your original seat fabric from wear and tear, sweat stains, and sun fading over time.
For those who spend a lot of time on the road—whether commuting daily or heading off on summer adventures—ATU’s seat cushions are a small upgrade that brings big relief.
5. Travel & Transport Helpers
Did you know that a messy car can actually feel hotter? Clutter blocks airflow, traps heat in corners, and makes your vehicle feel stuffy and uncomfortable. That’s why a smart organization isn’t just about keeping your car tidy—it’s also a clever way to stay cooler on summer drives.
ATU offers a great range of travel & transport accessories that help keep your car clean, spacious, and cool. Seatback organizers are perfect for storing snacks, sunglasses, gadgets, and travel essentials within easy reach, especially on long trips. They also free up seat and floor space, allowing better air circulation around the cabin.
Need more storage? Trunk bags from ATU let you neatly arrange emergency supplies, shopping bags, or sports gear so they’re not rolling around or blocking your AC vents. And if you’re heading off on a big adventure, ATU’s roof boxes offer extra space for luggage or camping gear—keeping the cabin light and clutter-free.
6. ATU Camping Accessories
Summer is the perfect season for camping, hiking, and enjoying the great outdoors—but staying cool while doing it can be a challenge. Whether you’re pitching a tent in the forest or relaxing by the lake, ATU has all the camping gear you need to stay comfortable, organized, and refreshed under the sun.
From portable folding chairs and lightweight camping tables to insulated drink containers and solar-powered lanterns, ATU’s camping range makes outdoor living easy and enjoyable. Many items are compact, foldable, and built for travel, so you can load up the car without wasting space.
For those extra-hot days, ATU also stocks shade tents and portable canopies—ideal for creating a cool, shaded area wherever you set up camp. Add in a cool box or thermal bag from ATU to keep your drinks chilled and your snacks fresh, even when you’re off the grid.
Camping with family? Pick up multi-use blankets, outdoor mats, and storage boxes to keep your campsite tidy and your relaxation zone clutter-free.
7. Heat-Resistant Floor Mats
When summer hits, even your car’s flooring feels the heat. High temperatures can make the floor area warm and uncomfortable—especially if you’re driving barefoot or wearing thin-soled shoes. That’s where ATU’s heat-resistant floor mats come to the rescue.
These mats are more than just a way to keep your car clean. ATU’s durable, summer-friendly floor mats are designed to handle the heat, resist warping, and protect your car’s interior from sun damage, melted dirt, or sticky messes. They help keep the floor cooler by adding a layer of insulation between your feet and the hot car base.
Choose from rubber, fabric, or all-weather floor mats to suit your style and driving needs. Many of ATU’s mats are non-slip, easy to clean, and custom-fit for different car models. They also come in light and neutral colors that reflect heat better than dark ones.
8. Roof Boxes and Travel Gear
Overloading your cabin can lead to poor airflow and a hotter car. Instead, maximize your storage with roof boxes, bike carriers, and tow bars—available at ATU.
ATU offers a wide range of high-quality roof boxes that are sleek, secure, and weather-resistant. They give you extra storage space without sacrificing comfort inside the cabin. Whether you’re heading to the coast, mountains, or countryside, a roof box lets you carry bulky items—like tents, suitcases, or sports gear—up top, freeing up legroom and improving air circulation inside your car.
Most ATU roof boxes feature easy-to-install mounting systems, aerodynamic designs to reduce drag, and locking mechanisms to keep your items safe. Choose from different sizes depending on your needs—from compact boxes for city escapes to larger models for full-family road trips.
In addition to roof boxes, ATU also stocks travel gear like luggage straps, organizers, roof bags, and tie-down kits—perfect for keeping everything secure and stress-free while you’re on the move.
9. ATU Storage Solutions
A clean, organized car isn’t just easier to manage—it also stays cooler in the summer. Loose items on the seats or floor can block air vents, trap heat, and create clutter that makes every trip feel more stressful. That’s why ATU’s storage solutions are a must-have for summer driving.
From seatback organizers to multi-compartment trunk bags, under-seat storage boxes, and boot nets, ATU has a wide selection of clever tools to keep everything in its place. Whether you’re carrying sunglasses, sunscreen, drinks, charging cables, or kids’ toys, these storage accessories help you stay organized and distraction-free behind the wheel.
Keeping items off your seats and floors also improves air circulation, helping your car cool down faster when the AC is running. It’s a simple trick that can make your summer drives feel a lot more comfortable—especially when traveling with family or friends.
ATU’s storage solutions are designed with durability and convenience in mind. Many products are foldable, waterproof, and easy to clean, so they’re perfect for road trips, shopping days, or weekend getaways.
