Tailored wool upholstery
I’ve got a few weeks before I have to lock in the spec for my new V60 and I’m in two minds about the interior. I’m really tempted by the midnight zinc tailored wool. It looks great in the staged pictures but I can’t find a car anywhere to see it for real and the dealer hasn’t found one yet.
Does anyone here have tailored wool and how have you found it? Thanks!

Also, if you haven't already spotted it be aware that ventilated seats are not (or at least were not for MY22) available.

A lot of these new interiors are ok new but look shabby soon after real use, some are garish imo and Skoda have managed something that looks like grannies quilted dressing gown in some models,
Nicest cloth I ever had was in a Cavalier Diplomat, it was a medium grey cloth with very small colour specks throughout, not sure how it came to be as that car was supposed to have leather as it's only option, looked really nice and lifted the inside in much the same way a sunroof does, If it's a black based one it should be a safe bet, avoid over complex designs as they really get old quick. p.s just had a look and it's a light grey in a sort of tweedy effect, it wouldn't be for me if I'm honest and will probably look tired really quick, if you can push it to Nappa and like leather that's what I'd do simply to enhance the re-sale appeal later in addition to it being really nice to the touch. It doesn't seem to be an option on V60, all I can find is two shades of Nappa and two shades of something that looks kinda waffle in design of which I'd choose the darker shade, what paint have you chosen? Fusion, deffo needs the dark seats, Here you go https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETyeUrKOErA Wouldn't be for me, looks kinda base level and will get filthy.

Steering wheels are ok but light grey cloth in bland designs always look tired soon after, if you look closely the side bolsters on the backs of the front seats have deformed into semi hex appearance instead of the sweeping curve throughout already, probably happens on other fabrics as well but really highlights it in the guy's video.

Also in the vid he refers to the doors having leather capping, again this is vinyl but no problem with that, its just the steering wheels/gear selector which i prefer in leather. |

Novel idea, charging more for cloth than leather.
That interior would show the dirt really quickly in my view. |

It obviously wasn't wool but my last V70 had pale cloth upholstery which was still fine when I sold it after 10 years of use. I don't understand the appeal of leather seats but have been unable to avoid them lately.

Saying that my 2015 V70 had pale cream leather and that stained really badly - my wife had a Barbour coat that dyed the arm rests on the passenger side - never got the colour out completely.
The worst idea in cars is cream carpet and mats. |

I wondered why so many people bought horrible black leather.
When you have a Blond interior like mine you can't hide dirt. It's so much better to keep a car clean.
