It's permanently shown in the dash board screen, the time is on the centre console.

That’s the outside temperature, not the cabin temperature the OP is looking for.

Oh yeah, my apologies I missed that. I haven't seen the cabin temp, never seen that in a car?

The last time I saw a cabin temperature display in a car was in my dad’s 1966 Renault Gordini. He used a magnetic thermometer attached to the dashboard.

The car has automatic climate control, which monitors the cabin temperature to adjust airlflow(hot and cold) so why is it not displayed? I thought I was missing something in the settings?

It is displayed, it'll be what you set the Climate Control to. Which can be different for Driver and Passenger. You're overthinking this one.

When I get into the car from outside, how do I check what is the inside temperature ?

The temperature displayed on the climate control represents the target cabin temperature, it will match the cabin temperature after the interior has fully heated or cooled. This process can take time, depending on how cold or hot it is outside.

You can’t check with the car instruments the actual cabin temperature immediately after getting into the car. The only way would be the 1966 Renault Gordini method, placing an external thermometer inside the car.

Not something that is really a dealbreaker..is it? That said, if it something you really require, eugen61 Dad’s idea would do the job.
