Acoustic Screen?

[PCM]

I have read a few times, in an online dealers IQ listings, that they say the (UK) IQ has an acoustic windscreen?

I've not read this anywhere else.

Does anyone know?

Yes it has, it's only an extra layer in the glass usually tinted green

3-layer acoustic windshield

The iQ features an advanced 3-layer acoustic windshield to insulate the cabin and reduce noise. Designed to stop noise, the laminated glass consists of a soft inter layer in between the two layers of glass – this interlayer consists of a prevention film between 2 layers of standard film. In the mid-to-high frequency range the noise level is reduced by up to 20%.

In addition, iQ engineers also developed a clever way of using the air gap between the bonnet panel insulation and the engine cover to improve sound insulation from the engine.
