Agree. Hyundai and Kia make some stupid choices - like unavailability of an exterior color in their top trim or the elimination of a color in their interior choice in their top trim. Top trims should be anything the customer wants. Don’t make people trade down. Their marketing department needs a few tweaks!
@ Agree as well, even though I would have preferred the brown was a darker color. The one choice that really grinds my gear is, there is no interior ambient lighting until the limit or above trim. That takes the 🎂 for me
I hope in '26 they will offer the Pecan Brown interior in the Calligraphy and also go with the brown headliner. Also, add the massage seat for the driver as in the Palisade.
I don't mind it and it's safer than the very light gray for some families. The brown is very nice but certainly bolder than some people want. I really enjoy darker, colored interior.
I like brown interiors normally, but this pecan is just a bit too “off” for me. A darker shade or if they had paired it with a lighter plastic instead of the dark it might work for me. Currently I’m still looking for the calligraphy hybrid in green with beige/green interior and they are almost impossible to find.
@@stephen1991 Here in the midwest, that combination isn't terribly hard to find as long as you're ok with putting a deposit on an inbound vehicle. They certainly are not readily available but several on in transit or production.
@@CarsMadeSimple I’m in Iowa and my local dealer seemed to downplay my chances, maybe he wanted to push his standing inventory. The sales person even downplayed the hybrids, saying they don’t sale many. I did try a dealer 100 miles away, but first they sold the exact one I was looking for right as I was placing a deposit for if. Then they had another one, exact trim, coming in the following week so I placed a deposit on it, only to be told the day before it arrived that it was a 24, not a 2025 that I’d ask for. I’ve never experience this much hassle in buying a new car.
For me the Pecan is THE color but they have limited it on the Limited , removed it as an option on the white and silver on the "builder"! The black roof liner is bad on any color, it is depressing. I was waiting to buy a 2025 white or silver Limited with Pecan. Now I'll move to another make...the black headliner would have killed the sale anyway. Such a shame! What are their designers thinking?? One sale lost.
Bad move not offering the Pecan in the Calligraphy model!
My exact thoughts

I like the Brown interior with the white paint
It is sharp!
Pecan no matter what, smokin hot!

It will be interesting to see what changes occur!
I’ve never understood the appeal of a black on black interior. Especially in a higher trim.

I've sat in the one with pecan brown. It just reminds me of some interior from the 70s. I think if it was a darker brown it would be nicer.
Darker would be my preference too. I hope the upcoming Palisade has a dark brown option.

@ NC has too many. I know that bc I'm searching for strictly gray interior.

Pecan brown for the WIN!!
First it was no ambient lighting until the limited and up. Now its no brown interior on the calligraphy. Whyyyy

That gray/white interior looks nice but it won’t in a few years
Brown ftw
