Here is what I received when I reached out to them:

We are so excited to see that you are interested in Katzkin!

Unfortunately, we do not have leather interiors for the 2024 Ineos, Grenadier, but we do have the capabilities to manufacture the pattern for it.
It is a little more costly, but it can be done.

Price does vary on design:
The cost for a single tone match to the current color interior is $1,895.00+tax installation included. The cost for a two-tone option or non-recommended color (red, blue, anything your vehicle wouldn't come in) is $2,195.00+tax installation included.

The cost to do the the Katzkin Expre Sew, we can make a leather kit with the the colors and options that we provide. It is about $1,500 per row to produce the pattern, plus the costs listed above. Let me know if this is something you maybe interested in.


Katzkin Automotive Leather specializes in the interior replacement of cloth interiors on most mid-market vehicles and we do not manufacture interiors for most luxury vehicles.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

Thank you for contacting Katzkin Automotive Leather.

I’m a big fan of Katzkin, had them in my last 2 F150s and they both looked great and lasted!

I see 2 issues with the Grenadier. #1 is they don’t simply go overtop your current seat, the installer removes your factory seat covering and replace it with Katzkin. Who’s going to tear off RECARO fabric or leather to replace with Katzkin? And #2 the cost. On my F150s I had to select a package that was $8-10k just to get leather. I didn’t want all the other stuff, so $2000 for Katzkin seemed like a good deal. If you want leather, why not order factory for the same $2000?

Bingo. Unless you want a different color, to match the saddle leather, etc. adding the leather up front is the way to go. The factory leather is nice.

I only contacted them to see if they had anything. I have never put seat covers on any ride but with everyone posting about M&M and Tougher I wanted to see what options we had state side. I haven't picked my Grenadier up yet but hopefully soon. I didn't order leather seats as I felt it wasn't necessary and I figured if something happens to them I will get a nice start cover.

The only thing I will miss over my previous vehicle is cooling seats...Another reason I didn't get leather as it gets way to hot in the summer.

I'm going to bump this old thread to say that Katzkin is now doing IG seats. My dealer had a couple of IGs done. The Dealer was charging about 2X what Katzkin charges if you call them direct. I was quoted $1895 for a 'factory' order (solid black or grey) and $2195 for a 'custom' order (two tone) and that includes installation. I forgot to ask the charge if they embroider or emboss 'Recaro' on the covers.

$2195 installed is quite resonable if the install looks as good in person as it does in the pics! Thanks for posting.

I just confirmed, they do not emboss Recaro due to trademark issues. But they confirmed the door panels and center console are included. Also, the $300 upcharge for 'custom' includes both the two tone and the ability to get the perforated leather.

Work directly with the your local installer / buy from them. I just did my son’s Subaru Outback - the cost charged by the installer was about $200 less than what katskin quoted directly and he could choose different colors, materials, stitching and perforations. The quality was great. Katskin is, apparently, the gold standard for cost vs value. My installer had maybe 500 different sets in stock, so my son could check out different colors and patterns and stuff. We ordered a custom configuration for him and they arrived within a week. I paid $1700 installed for both rows of the Subaru. Very happy.

PS dealers don’t do these installs, they will outsource to an upholstery specialist and take whatever markup they can.

Well I got mine done and I'm happy with it so far. It was $2200 installed. If you do the two tone like I did, be sure to tell them what color you want on the door panels. At first they sent black for the doors and I had to pay extra to change that to cognac to match the inserts on the seats.

I had Katzkin covers in my last 2 vehicles because a lot of vehicles in the US make factory leather part of a $8-$10k package that I often don’t want the rest of the package. They were great and should be considered a factory like interior, not just seat covers. Of course they are also $2k and permanently installed, so it’s not really fair to compare them to slip over seat covers that cost 25% of price.

I was happy the Grenadier had leather as its own option and for $2k you can’t beat it.

If I needed a pop of color inside or was someone who bought one off the lot with a cloth interior, I’d have probably done these Katzkins too. They look great!

I was going to.. then at the last moment Katzkin called me and said the IG uses a different (new) system for the seat airbags and the heating/cooling system they use was incompatible. I really wanted cooled seats for Houston.

Use a frozen gel pack, wrap in a towel and sit on it. It will keep the area frosty.

I could have used that today. Spent 2 hours shooting a sporting clays tournament in 100 degree heat and I was drenched by the end. Makes me miss the remote start of my pickup.

Here’s our Katzskin install. Heated seats but no cool option.
Ding dangity dong! That is sweet!

I was just reading that you're negotiating on an IG in Florida(?). That was super fast for the install of custom seats.

Bought a Donny Gray from Red Nolan in Colorado. Those folks are really good, like yes worth the drive good. Happy to share all the details if you want to PM your number. I worked directly with Katzskin to design the interior then I shared it with Red Nolan. They got it done in a matter of a week. They also got and installed tires within 48 hours. Oh and btw, the owner took me out to “experience” the vehicle.

TBH we are still in Colorado driving the trails, had an amazing day and I can assure you this vehicle can handle more then I can.
