Default Red Nuluxe fading question

Any 2014 owners had any problems with red interior fading over time?
I've heard about other red interior leathers fading but how is the nuluxe?

Absolutely no fading or degradation of any kind. I have had my car almost for a year and a half. The Rioja seats look the same in evey way as the day I picked up the car. I have done nothing special to maintain the seats, other than to pick up things that have fallen out of my pockets onto them.

The color is inherent in the material so I don't think it is possible to fade. I have used 303 aerospace protectant, a UV protectant to prevent against cracking. This worked well on my 2003 BMW; seats, dash and door panels looked new after 12 years.

Same here no fading and no wrinkles in the thigh support area where you'd normally see by now with leather.
