    How bad is black interior?

    I've always steered clear of black interiors but will be considering one tomorrow. For country NSW is heat an issue and how badly does it show dust? The vehicle is a LR with factory tinted glass.
    TIA

    My D3 has black interior and honestly its not that bad, and we are in the tropics. Its a lot better since we had the windows tinted and I certainly wouldn't hesitate to get it again , actually would prefer it.




    Cheers Ean

    No problem here. Easy to keep clean. If you want to brighten it up, buy some coloured seat covers.

    It would be a country vehicle where its impossible to keep the dust out when opening doors to open and close farm gates. I wont be applying tints to the already-tinted glass for various reasons but the current D4's glass stops a lot of heat anyway so I suspect the black seats and steering wheel might not heat up much more.

    Everything in the Defender inside is black but I never really thought about it until seeing this thread. Haven't noticed any difference in regards to temperatures (and I live in WA).

    I can see how black would be a problem if you had a white cat.

    My road car has a black interior. No probs. I think a much bigger factor with heat is the roof insulation. A green car with a very thin roof liner that I had would bake everything in it. The current one has been fine.
