Hyundai Accent boot heat

My brand new 2014 Hyundai Accent RB2 overheats inside the boot, but the manufacturer told me that it's within tolerance level. Is this normal in new cars?? None of the other cars that I have driven in the last 20 years do this. I think it's a safety hazard.

 

 

You must expect the boot to become warm to some extent, but it's unusual that it becomes hot. I would measure the temperature it reaches and then take that to the dealer and discuss the issue with them. If it is getting hot there must be something causing it, and that needs to be found and fixed.
