Interior Colors

[Haystex]

PLEASE have interiors for all trims that are not black or white. Black = scorched ass in the summer. White = impossible to keep clean (especially with dogs). This is a major reason I don’t want a Rivian. Tans, blues, etc. Think comfy but easy to get the dust out . . .

One thing to note as you move to an EV/EREV. It is trivial to pre-cool your car from your phone before you get into it, even in a closed garage (since there's no exhaust). So you will get into the habit of pre-conditioning 10 minutes or so before you plan to leave. Presto, no toasted buns. Of course the opposite is true in the winter. Nice and toasty buns when you get in then

All that to say, black interior in an EV is not as bad as it is in an ICE.

As for interior I am partial to a camel/saddle brown. I would also prefer real leather instead of the vinyl crap (oh excuse me, vegan leather) we're getting nowadays.

I’m not as focused on what the material is, my requirement is that it lasts and is easy to clean. That’s my priority.

Rivian's Ocean Coast (light) interior was definitely not a color for dog owners or owners concerned with getting into their trucks after doing some real dirt dog adventuring in the outdoors... That said, the grey-colored interior is awesome. They call it black mountain I think but its really a dark grey. And the seats are ventilated so even if the cabin gets hot you can cool your ass down before you get in the truck from the app.

I really like how they have seats that are darker on the bottom and lighter on the top. Darker where you sit is better.

But what other manufacturer puts Rallye stripes like that on their vehicles? I’m getting them. It’s too unique to pass up!

Same!

Love cooled seats

Love cooled seats

Definitely want heated and ventilated seats front and back.

I would like the back seats to recline a little like they do in the 4Runner

While so far it doesn’t appear to be a design thought but I hope SM does NOT carry the exterior paint color into the interior. Thinking about Wrangler, Beetle, Mini (I think) but I do t want a great saddle brown interior and then a chunk of colored dash metal that matches the exterior instead of my interior finishes.

Completely agree. And I swear there was a period of time for Wranglers where it was red dash accent regardless of the exterior color. I was at the auto show and it was some odd color combos that’s for sure.
