Black & White/Grey Leather Seats

1. Has anyone else seen this design somewhere?
2. Is the white(ish) look due to the prototype status or is that the final look?
3. Are my concerns regarding the rubbing off on the leather justified?

In Aufenau on my test drive, the car on display had the leather seats in Black & (White or Grey).

And that's exactly my uncertainty. What I expected to be a bright grey turned out to be almost white. This would eventually be a reason not to go with that. A new Blue Jeans (as an exmaple) often likes to spend some of the blue color to other items, e.g. in the washing machine, or may be as well to white leather. And I am btw. not very fond of a 'white'ish surface of the seats.

So my questions are

1. Has anyone else seen this design somewhere?
2. Is the white(ish) look due to the prototype status or is that the final look?
3. Are my concerns regarding the rubbing off on the leather justified?

Opinions are welcome!

I have a Mercedes V-Class, with light beuge leather seats, very nice, makes the interior of the cabin more visually spacious, but,.... I got in it with red corduroy pants, very nice,... and even two years later the seat is still a little red,...

I ordered the Grenadier with leather, and although I thought about ordering the gray leather option, because of the images of the Grenadier that you saw in person, in those images the interior looked very nice, very spacious, but in the end I decided for black leather, my experience with the V-Class weighed a lot.

Well, you're right, the red corduroy pants were never put back on the car, but it happened again with my wife's new jeans, and there,... I didn't dare to say anything about it, so black leather seats,....

Thank you for the pictures.

They are similar to what I remember from Aufenau - a bit too white. imho.

Agree emax.

When I saw them on the Melbourne drive last weekend I was a little surprised as I was expecting the inserts to be a light grey or a dark beige but they were very white - like perfect white and my immediate thought was the drivers seat will look grey after 1 year or so of driving

Me too. I’m hoping some leather protection treatment will do the trick to keep the in good condition.
