Engine giving off a lot of heat?

[mikkie98]

So my father in law purchased a 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness; We noticed, even on short trips, that the engine is giving off a lot of 'residual' heat when arriving at our destination... More so than we were expecting.

The car itself does NOT report any temperature issue.

Are we to assume that this model's engine (the 2.5L i believe) runs at a high temperature and that this is normal for this car to shed lots of heat once at the destination?

Thanks!!
