Tan or Black interior color? Which one do you prefer and why?

[Ifghillbilly]

I like the tan just because it is brighter. I agree that it looks better with certain colors. Although I would include blue along with red and white. Since Ocean Blue is late availability and my wife's JKU was white, I ordered Firecracker with tan leather. I ordered black hardtop only, but will buy tan bestop as soon as it becomes available.

Those that vote for black do not live in Florida. Like Mercury in the summer, right next to the sun. Tan all the way.

As soon as Ocean Blue opens, will be Ocean Blue JLUR with tan leather.

Almost wish they would come out with a totally tan interior. Not just the seats. But the tan sure does help in the summer.

Yes it does look nice, would be a perfect upgrade from my current JKU mango tango with black interior. ok, so i have a thing for orange jeeps, lol

You’re not alone... my crush Rubi with black interior will be getting replaced by a punk’n with black interior.

The configurator has GOT to be wrong.

If I have a choice I pick tan because it's not as hot in the summertime. When we bought my wife's Renegade last year we couldn't find a Trailhawk with the light colored interior. There were a few odd ones in other models, but even they were rare as unicorns. My F-150 was one of the few on the lot I could find with a lighter brown interior. For us, we don't care about the style, the black holds in heat so much more.

I went with tan for two reasons:

1) was concerned about the red rubi dash
2) most the off roading spots in SoCal are hotter than hades, you would rather be in airconditioning than take a top off with black seats.

I went with black cloth only because it will not show stains as easily. I wanted tan, but with a dog and 2 year old....

I went with black leather and black exterior for my Sahara order. I really wanted tan. I really like tan. But for me with the tan leather only on the seats I just couldn’t do it. Maybe even if it was at least on the center console that would have been ok. But it’s not so black again it is.

I hope the configurator is wrong too. the cover of the JL manual has a JLUR thats orange with black interior. Cant see them not offering what they show, but ya never know eh

I always prefer black interior for easy cleaning and maintenance.

How good is the 'premium' leather in the Rubicon (JK?)? When my convertible sits out in the sun with the top down...the hot leather seems to stretch when I sit down in the seat and does not completely shrink back when cool. Just how much real leather is involved in Jeep seats?

I chose the Tan in my Rubicon it looks much better (my Choice) To keep them clean and conditioned I us a High quality Leather Cleaner conditioner & Protectant, I put this on the seats as soon as I got home and new Blue jeans don't stain the seats. Takes about 10m to do the complete inside. I will do this once a month 10m is worth the seat protection (Prevent Cracking) even on Black seats.
I have used this on my BMW seats also the Tesla again works well.

Again your choice of what you use but use something save your seats.

Black… I wouldn't say interior, its just the seats that are Tan .. if they added more it could be cool

I think the black actually looks a little better but like my fellow posters have already said, boy oh boy if you get in a black interior with the roof open after being parked it’s like sitting on your bbq. My current JK (Firecracker Red/ Black top) looks great with the tan so I ordered it in my 19 JL (Bikini Pearl). I hope the tan doesn’t clash with the Green/Blue. Black would probably look better on this car too. One more note; In the early 80’s I had a black interior and exterior Corvette. Beautiful car but so hot in the summer the a/c felt like it wasn’t working sometimes. You’d actually be 5 minutes from your destination and the car would start to feel like its cooling off! Hope this helps

I like my tan interior but eventually it will look like crap due to spills, blue jeans rubbing off, etc.
