Leather dash

Is the leather dash that has been standard on the G wagons for years has now become an option on the G550? It seems that many of the G550’s for sale have a leatherette dash.

Yes, a leather dash is part of the leather upgrade packages. Without knowing whether it is leather or leatherette, the only visible difference that I can see is that the leather dash get additional trim stitching.

The nice thing about MB is the upgrade options are usually great value. Like for the new Gwag, a lot of the upgrades are like under $2K, which compared to other brands is dirt cheap for what you get.

You pay $17K for a pano glass roof in a Ferrari FF, and Rolls Royce charges like $3,400 for floor mats (total bs).

Good value with Mercedes Benz options.

Or, like option 805/418 Macchiato Beige/brown leather is a mere $17,200. Turns out on your build sheet, option 805 specifies the leather, and is a N/C item, but the 418 Interior+ upgrade hits you with the $17,200 cost. 😁
