I recently looked at a 2021 CX-5 with 25K miles (one owner- not a rental) and the driver’s seat in parchment leather looked terrible. It was stained and looked worn out. There was also a noticeable scuff on the dash.

I’m not a fan of black interiors (very hot climate plus just so dark) but do they hold up better? I’ve had tan/beige leather in all of my other cars and it’s been fine but none are as light as parchment.

How are the interior of your vehicles holding up? I’m primarily looking at Preferred, Premium, Grand Touring. Carbon is not for me.
