I have had blond 'leather' in cars ( Jags, Mercs, Skoda and now Volvo) for years and no problems. As other have said, regular maintenance with an appropriate product for modern car leathers is the answer. Incidentally black leather needs the same sort of treatment tio keep it in good order.

I find cars with black leather feel very cramped inside and somehow less luxurious.

Volvo do carry a cleaner as an accesory but it is typically expensive compared to brands. I generally use Dr Leather wipes.
