Cars warm up to a temperature higher than the surroundings because of the glass in the car windows. This is called the greenhouse effect. High-energy heat waves from the sun are able to pass through the glass of the windows, and this energy is absorbed by the materials inside the car, causing it to heat up. The glass does not let the less energetic heat waves being let off by the warm car pass through the windows. Therefore the heat is "trapped" inside the car, causing it to get warmer than the surroundings.
