It's so stupid that Stellantis doesn't offer this as a factory option.
FWIW my 23 Rubi 4xE came with leather seats and dashboard like pictured. Even has the matching light blue stitching.

Sorry, I was referring to this from the image:

"Choose any vinyl color
choose any stitching color
and match your interior"

If I'm buying a Hydro Blue Jeep, I should be able to pay extra to get matching blue stitching if I want to, without having to pay $2K for factory leather and then another $2K for Katskinz after the fact.

On one side you have the complaints about Jeeps costing too much and the other side is asking for "Corinthian leather" covered rocker panels.

The company is called Katzkin Leather, but the add clearly says it's vinyl. The OEM version is vinyl too. Anyway, a big improvement over the terrible cloth dash covering.

And of course it will be damaged when the airbag deploys, along with a whole lot of other components. I wouldn't worry about it.

Indeed. In fact, Stellantis has gone the other way by eliminating Saddle brown from the factory leather options for 2024.
