GLE 450 Bahia Brown/Black interior with what trim
I ordered a 2024 GLE 450 with Selenite Gray exterior and the Bahai Brown/Black interior. Should I get the Brown Linden wood trim or the Natural Grain Grey Oak?

I forgot to mentioned that I also ordered the black headliner. Does that make a differences? The model that I saw on the show room floor had a grey or light color headliner and felt in the car with the natural grain grey wood trim. Now I have a darker headliner.

For us, lighter color headliner, such as Crystal Grey, makes it feel more spacious and more uplifting than the black one. Crystal Grey is somewhat rare combination, so we had to visit a couple of dealers and have them looks for all cars in the inventory just to see it in person.

Mine is an order yet to build but I saw it on another vehicle. If you have a Dealer handy maybe you can find that combo for comparison. The lighter brown walnut might even go better if that’s still an option. There is no bad choice as long as the console doesn’t get the piano black.

Linden wood is glossy. I don't like glossy wood personally and I also don't like any brown wood with brown seats as I think they clash, but I think you should just buy what you think looks nice rather then asking random internet people.

Have a pano roof and keep shade open all the time. Did the black headliner and love it. Personally think the black flows better with the other black accents in the car that you don't have options to change. Besides it won't show dirt s much. I do have the Catalina leather.

That's the reason I chose Natural Walnut - to soften the otherwise glossy interior with its displays and such.
It's a subtle, calming look.
Here's the walnut.
Enjoy your new car.

My GLE 450 has the Catalina Beige and the Linden Wood. I like the Linden Wood as it reminds me of the old burled walnut that Mecedes came with in the past. I was disappointed to see that the center console was finished with glossy black plastic instead of wood like the other finishes.
