I like a lighter coloured interior as well but I don't want to spend the extra time cleaning it or getting someone else to clean it.

I looked at ordering a new dynamic in Mauritius Blue with ivory interior. My salesman told me to avoid that colour so I went for Fuji White with pimento interior instead


This is the video I seen back in October 2013 which is when I ordered my new car. Wasn’t many dynamic reviews back then and there still isn’t much now either .

Wonderful colour combination, I like light interior.

“If you happen to be a female, please tell me if you like this colour by the way”

Really? A genuine Petrolhead then

I don't think that the, "Female", has a great bearing on the choice of interior colour, although Pam dislikes dark interiors, I think it's more to do with the, Asian Market, where they seem to like the bright and light colours, and JLR need this market. Just by chance a sat in a new, Ford Ecosport. What a black hole that was and no choice of any light relief.

My sister has Ivory in her Evoque & I have Almond in the Freelander so we don't burn our backsides from the hot sun down under. I've been in cars where you get third degree burns from black leather in summer! You have to put a towel on the seat first. The inside of the car doesn't feel so depressing. We don't paint our homes black inside.

And it looks classier  Regards

What do people do to the interiors to get them so dirty?

I clean the leather in our cars maybe twice a year with a decent cleaner/treatment and it always looks lovely......then again we don’t have kids anymore to cart around and no muddy dogs ever.......just ourselves, that must be the trick.  Regards

Interesting that they see the single worst “upgrade” on the car (the removal of the TR rotary dial and substitution with fiddly buttons that get covered in rubbish, filled with crumbs/muck and can’t be used with gloves on) as a step forward

TR buttons are a pain when you're short as I find that seat is so far forward that the buttons are behind me  If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.

Whoever thought the removal of the rotary control was a an improvement needs lessons in ergonomics. Jules

We seem to be drifting off subject, Blokes.

If you get a lighter interior you still get a black floor in the boot. I stuck a piece of boat carpet on the boot floor which always looks a lot cleaner being lighter.

Apologies. Firenze Red is by far the nicest colour imho dark seating is practical and light interior work well with full sunroof

( Buttons are still pain in the bum though )
