Question Stone grey cloth interior opinions?

Hello all,

I test drove an iX and instantly fell in love with it. The dealer had an incoming vehicle which the customer walked away from and I jumped on it. The car is in Sophisto Grey and is pretty much loaded (minus the laser lights).

My only concern with the vehicle is that the customer ordered it with the Stone grey cloth interior. I typically get leather in my vehicles and I'm a little concerned about the cloth ones.

Would love to hear some options/feedback from folks who have seen the cloth seats in person

If you have small children or pets you may wanna opt for the leather and pass on that iX. Otherwise the cloth seats are very nice. I saw them in person and I decided to go with the cloth seats for our build.

Thanks for the feedback LittleJoe. No kids or pets so that is reassuring. Is the cloth as blue as it appears in the pictures or is it more grey toned?

Yes, I agree. Very nice looking seats. Actually have more character than the solid leather look IMO.

Leather seats should be ventilated for summer but cloth seats are naturally cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, at least I would think so.

Correct! I have Nubuck textile seats with Nappa leather on the sides and almost no need for ventilation in the summer as they don't get hot at all and vice versa in the winter.
