Nut Brown / Black Napa Leather Interior
Hi everyone
I’m about to pick up my S560. I want to get the black exterior and the only option I have for interior is Nut brown/ Black Napa Leather ( the one that has no additonal charge when you build your S class on the website). What do you think? Is it a good color? It’s my first time that my interior is not black.
Thanks

This is something where you need to see it yourself.
I liked it. The stitching on the black leather is also brown. I think it looks best on Lunar blue (I tried to buy one, and someone else bought it just hours before I called the dealer back to buy it). Black is also nice. I didn't like it with Anthrasite Blue.

Only because you are asking: I’ve never liked the “half black” interiors in general and I personally hate the Nut Brown/Black combination. To me, these half black interiors look cheap and IMO, that’s exactly why MB & other makers use them. When you only have to make half of the upholstered interior parts in black, the manufacturer saves a ton of money. What I call “full color” interiors, like the Bentley pictured below, are mostly only found in Porsche level and up vehicles these days. I’d try to get an all black interior if I were you.

I agree with your observation on the half black interiors. I also think it cheapens the look. If I'm not mistaken I think you can spec an S Class interior without half black. I had an S Class with an upgraded Napa leather in a cream beige and macchiato. No black at all. I prefer a lighter color interior. I think it adds to the richness and brings out the accents and details in a much better fashion. To each his own. Its really hard to beat an S Class interior.

That said, meanwhile MB dropped several nice combos and added some ridiculous combos instead, making it feel that there are fewer choices...
There is no question that Bentley, Porsche and others (RR, Aston Martin, Farrari, etc.) offer more colors and make you pay for it dearly, yet I find it interesting how many of these brands feature the same two-tone leather. Even when there is a choice, there are less single color leather interiors chosen than one may think.
Personally I do like the look of the Brown/Black over straight black, especially when used with the exclusive Nappa. I strongly encourage anyone to spend the extra $2k or so for the leather upgrade. It makes a huge difference because everything will be leather (dash/doors etc.) plus you get the ultra suede headliner instead of the cheap fabric one. This option used to cost $4400 before. Biggest bang for the buck on the car IMO
