Titanium Gray Pearl leather?

Anyone have it? My wife really wants the Zen Light Wood but she is not fond of all Black inside so she is thinking that the two tone Titanium Gray Pearl & Black leather might look good but she is unsure of how much contrast there is. Personally I like the Blue & Black but not her.

By the way, I found out that I can in fact get the Zen wood steering wheel even though I am getting the AMG Line package - turns out there is a problem with dealers being able to order it that way and they are working on the problem. Also, the 2020 Ordering Guide shows that the 20" Black wheels are Matte but they are Gloss so that is another problem they are working on.

In interior or dim lighting the contract is very slight. In bright lighting it becomes distinct. same with the Yacht Blue. The configurator makes the blue seem almost black, yet I saw one in the sun and it's almost the same tone as Brilliant Blue paint.

I'd love to see a real pic of the Gray & Black interior. We test drove one that had the Black/Blue leather with Zen wood and it looked real nice....I just need to convince my wife to get that combo.

It’s confirmed you can order the Zen wood steering wheel? When our order was place in 2018 for an early 2019, I optioned it only to be later informed the wheel was ‘not available for the foreseeable future.’ I have yet to see it on any G, except on one prototype during testing.

Yes, MB USA confirmed it and my dealer is working with them right now to get it on my order. If you want more info send me a PM with your email and I will forward you the messages.

Good for you! That’s great. Will look sharp. I assume this is a non-heated wheel? IIRC, I could only order a leather/wood wheel without the heated function. Heated would only be available on the AMG wheel and standard leather wheel.

Correct, non-heated, which is just fine here in FL. I will post pics one day after it arrives.

The first photo is without the flash on which I think is the most accurate depiction of how light the grey is. It isn't a huge contrast, but its enough to break up all of the black which I think is nice. It shows up much more in the sun than in the shade.

Thanks much! My wife likes the Gray & Black but we both want the Zen light wood so we are not sure it would look good with that leather; however, the model we test drove had the Black & Blue with Zen and that looked great so that is what we currently have in the order. It will not lock for quite some time so I will show my wife these pics and see what she thinks.
