Default Chateau interior?

Inquiring minds want to know how it holds up and how it looks.

Well, looks are always subjective of course, but I love mine. The contrast of the light on dark scheme just feels good to me.
As far as durability, no issues so far. It started to develop a blue jean smudge on the outer edge of the driver seat but cleaned off very easily.

thanks. Initially I was drawn to the flaxen until I realized the wheel and dash assembly were brown. Wasn’t a fan of that.

now it’s down to the chateau or black.

I think it's a nice in-between for indecisively wanting light seats but not too light and a brown but not actually brown. That probably didn't make sense but that was my though process justification when I picked it.

What F3Woody said about jeans slightly bleeding color onto the seats but that is easily removed with a little APC or Lexol. As for how it holds up, that's just a general question on how NuLuxe holds up. Mine is a 2019 and it still looks great.

Something to note is that if you get tints, it'll appear lighter than what it is because of the light interior. I got 50% on my windows and it pretty much did nothing. Dunno if that's something you were planning to do but just letting you know.
