Heat pump models vs resistance heaters models

Can anyone confirm that had and older model Air and upgraded to either the 2024 Sapphire or Grand Touring that the heat and air conditioner output is much better? Since it has a reverse heat pump, I assume it would improve the air conditioning cooling levels as well.

Just because it’s using “heat pump” technology doesn’t mean it keeps the cabin cooler and/or warmer, unless they increased the output levels.

What the technology does is create the output much more efficiently in terms of energy used.

Think of it like changing your home’s HVAC system to a heat pump unit if the btu’s and/or the tonnage is the same you’re going to get the same output depending on the outside temperature.

Regardless, it would be helpful if anyone experienced having both models and reporting the difference with and without the heat pump.

Yeah don’t let logic get in the way of a good emotional decision to purchase a ‘25
