I haven't received our Ascent yet but I can speak from my experience having a Beige interior in my current VW Passat. Both have a slight different color, but I noticed Ascent has more soft feel to touch. Ivory/Beige/Tan all these colors make your car so spacious and it looks classy and more premium feeling. But I'm not gonna lie, you have to clean it once every few months and if you have messy making kids, may be spot cleanups frequently.Currently have an Outback looking to trade on on the Ascent. The one we are looking at has the Ivory interior (outback is black). For those who have the ivory interior..., how well does it wear, how easily does it show dirt?
We have a grey interior car which is a bit darker and it has held up well. The biggest issue with the light interior is when you get a black scuff from something it becomes a pain to get off. I've had a black interior in my last car and I loved it. Dust will show, but it stays much cleaner in the long run and doesn't show stains or dirt as much. I was always amazed when I wiped the seats just how dirty they actually were. For the reason we went with black on the inside, but I also love the storm trooper look of white and black.Currently have an Outback looking to trade on on the Ascent.

I have 2 cars with the lighter "beige" leather, and there's definitely some work to keeping it clean. On the plus side as the leather ages and the dirt starts to create a worn in look to the seating surfaces:grin:Currently have an Outback looking to trade on on the Ascent.

Dusty shoes show up on the light interior just as bad. The only difference is everything else shows up on the light interior whereas the dark interior will hide many more forms of filthiness.We got the black cloth interior in ours and very much regret it. It shows dirt very badly on the trim and carpet area as well as the seats. I was worried about koolaid stains and the like when I talked my wife into the black interior but I didn't account for the dirt and dust that would get in when we opened the doors after driving down the two miles of gravel road we live on. If you don't have gravel roads or messy children black would probably be fine.
No problems after 13000 miles. Easily cleans up. For times I know I am filthy I use a seat cover.Currently have an Outback looking to trade on on the Ascent.
