If you wear jeans while driving, go with black so you don't notice the dye transfer

 

I have the black exterior with the beige interior and the beige gives it a classy look. If you use a good protectant/cleaner like Meguiar's Gold Class Leather Cleaner and Conditioner it will look new for years. As for the jeans transfer, it wipes right off with the Meguiar's.

 

I opted for black on my 2023. i have had white and beige in the past and both are quite a bit harder to keep looking clean and they seem to age faster. Read a rather extensive test that came out regarding the cabin heat in the different colors and the maximum difference was 2 degrees. I’ll take black and turn on my seat cooling system. YMMV

 

I love my beige! I had black first and disliked it so much I turned the car back in for beige. I am a grandmother with kids constantly in the car and the light interior has held up great for a year now. The drivers seat is starting to show jean color transfer, but I paid for a service that will clean it if I can’t get it clean. It’s a very classy look with the dark exterior (moonlight ) it’s light and airy on hot summer days. Get lots of compliments. Definitely beige!

 

Had beige leather seats in a car that I had for 14 years. They didn't look that bad even after 170K, kids and a dog. Meguiar's Gold Glass is all I ever used on them about 1-2 times a year.

 

IMO it would depend on the exterior color of the car.

 

I wanted nothing more than the beige interior, it looks SO GOOD.

That was until I sat in one. All I could picture was me constantly cleaning everything with hauling a wife, two kids, 200lbs worth of dog and all the sports gear.

I immediately went with the Black interior and I hate black interior. I wish they offered a brown leather, but they don't.

 

I have owned many cars with either black( charcoal grey) and light interiors ( white, off white, light grey/ beige) stretching from 1964 to present ( yes 58 years……I am old☹). I prefer the lighter shades. They give you a more open/airy feel than the black or darker colors. I find the as easy to keep clean as the dark interiors and they do not show the smudges and white marks like black.
you do not have to be a slave with them; an occasional wipe down with a good cleaner is all that it takes. With black you don’t see the grime that accumulates. I should know since I have a 2022 Limited -black interior and a 2023 Caligraphy - light grey. When I wipe down the black it surprises me how dirty it really is. If you are going to haul dirty objects it doesn’t matter the color it will get dirty🖕

 

I have the beige 2. Looks amazing.

 

I waited a year and a model change to get the beige interior. The black headliner shows every touch and, in my opinion, looks like a black cave. To us the beige looked more upscale like a luxury car. Like my last Audi.

 

I have a new 2023 Calligraphy with grey and blue. The color is cooler in the summer. During winter we turn the heated seats on to get the seats warm. Hope this gives you another idea to make your choice.

 

Love my beige. When I at dealer got to compare both colors, and I felt the beige really popped. No regrets.

 

Go for beige... well, it's more like a light-gray in the Calligraphy trim, so the color name is very misleading. Make sure to put up a sign "no pasta in the car" for passengers 😅

The bright color makes the interior feel bigger, IMO.

 

We've owned beige and white leather seat cars. They look luxurious, yes...but harder to maintain that luxurious look (stains and clothing color transfer). We went with black in our Palisade.

 

We're in a similar position as the OP. Really appreciating the feedback here!

 

I'm leaning beige...Now if they could just get some better exterior colors...all so dark except the white one. We have had a white with beige Hyundai for the last 10+ years and was hoping to do something different.

 

I got the black and not loving it. The black shows every crumb, dust or whatnot from kids and dog. My previous van had gray and after 9 years it still looked great. I wish that had been an option. The beige was beautiful but I was afraid it would get dirty too fast. However, the black shows dirt right away too. They need more interior choices.
