I have espresso. EVERYTHING is brown. EVERYTHING. (steering wheel including) lol It is NOT what the website shows. Overall, it is not bad. Different than just the common black or gray. I personally like the contrast with the black and Dune brown, but espresso looks nice too. The wife is happy.

I ordered a Moss Green with Espresso six months ago and it has yet to arrive. The dealer was awful to deal with and this morning I bought an SX with very light grey interior, it looks awesome and is a lot more practical for me in the long run as I have two English Bulldogs that I know sooner or later will be riding around with me. They shed like crazy and I can't even let them near my S550 with it's black interior. I ordered ToughPRO mats all around today as well. I think after a few months with the espresso I would have just gotten tired of it!

Is it as light as it appears? On the web site it looks darker and richer. Thanks.

It looks amazing on the web page with the darker brown leather on the grey everything else. That's what I ordered and when this lighter "brown everywhere" came in, I refused it and asked for the grey leather.

That looks great! I also had ordered a moss green with espresso brown interior, but after 2.5 month, the dealer cancel the order, saying they just weren't getting any allocations. so I bought a moss green with dune brown interior (Prestige package). I'm happy with the dune brown.
We must think alike, my TuffPro mats arrived a few days ago and I put them in. They fit fine, I didn't put the one in the driver's seat, since I'm not the messy one (I have two kids and a dog).

I like those mats. I have had Weather Tech before but the ends curl up and my shoes. would get stuck on them, it was a pain in the ass.

I just got a call tonight that my Moss Green, SX with Espresso Brown interior would be here on November 21, 2020. I ordered it April 20, 2019! I told them I did not want it as I bought one w the gray leather interior from another dealer today. I had ordered the espresso brown from Byer Kia in Falls Church VA, it is owned by Congressman Don Beyer and is run about as poorly as his voting record.

Butterscotch for sure (in my humble opinion)....the espresso almost looks black. Dune brown looks in the best imo. Espresso is wayyyy darker in person. There is a Youtube video where they show the espresso interior and one complaint was how dark it was. I will try to find the video and link it here. For some reason in the pictures it looks much lighter, almost like the dune brown looks in person.

Its wayyyyy darker and way more cool toned in real life. It totally put me off when I saw it in person. I prefer a much more warm brown for contrast. In pictures the espresso looks how the dune brown looks in person. Dune was def my fav in person and I think the color most imagine. Its unfortunate just how off the espresso photos are on the website, its wayyyyy off. The picture posted above is exactly how it looks in person, it is VERY cool toned and just looks off to me.

Hi Chukpapa
If you don't mind me asking, what color is the exterior of your vehicle? I ordered a moss green sx FWD (not prestige) with gray leather interior. In looking at your vehicle's interior, I see it's different than what the website shows. I couldn't see the sx in gray in person, so I was ordering based on the website.
It looks like the console is a mix of gray and black (as opposed to all black) and the door panels are more gray in your vehicle than on the website. Also, it's gray where the glovebox is as opposed to black as pictured on the website. I'm wondering if that's a difference based on the vehicle's exterior color or if the website photo is just wrong. I emailed my dealer but have yet to hear back. It's a bit disconcerting when you can't see the vehicle in person and are basing the order on the website photos (which may or may be accurate).
Thanks so much for posting your vehicle photos! It's IMPOSSIBLE to find the gray interior (other than nappa) online.
You note correctly that Kia's website shows changed interiors with certain leather colors, as the grey leather used to have all grey inside as you saw in Chukpapa's photos. I'm looping in @Jason Fox who may be able to help answer this question, as I don't believe we have any pictures of any vehicles with grey leather interior that were ordered after August 8 (the website change) and delivered. Indeed, the grey leather interior now shows the darker door panels and glove box on EX and SX (non prestige of course) trims.
It used to be different... our speculation if the pictures are true is that they did it to simplify production - but who knows. No answers...

It remains to be discovered... uncharted territory!

Wow. Okay. Now it makes sense to me. So the website used to show a photo consistent with Chukpapa’s photos? And then it changed to the current photo on the website, correct? I was wondering why Kia would be showing a photo that was not correct. But I guess maybe they are? I still have not heard from the dealer. Maybe he doesn’t know.
Thank you, all, for your help! If anyone finds out for sure, please let me know.
Thank you, jw_tx21 and @Jason Fox for your replies. The website photos make A LOT more sense if they changed after August 8th (and no one has seen the gray interior after that change). I have only been looking at the website after that date. So the photos of the gray leather used to look like Chukpapa's vehicle, correct? I was wondering why Kia was posting photos that didn't match the vehicles -- especially since it's so difficult to find them at the dealerships! I was also wondering why I couldn't find ANY photos like the photo on Kia's website. But if you are correct in your assumptions, everything makes much more sense.
I happen to like the black console, etc. so I hope the photo is reflective of the current orders. I was considering black interior, so that's why I was trying to figure it out quickly (just placed order yesterday). If anyone finds out, please let me know. Again, thank you.
Yes, they did look like that. Back in April, I also sat in an EX with a grey interior that was like Chukpapa's vehicle. Also, the Espresso interior for SX was all brown - steering wheel, etc. Everything changed on August 8th on the website, but the light grey plastic panels and glove box remained with grey nappa on SX-P trim. Also, brown door panels on SX-P with dune brown remained in photo - but they disappeared on butterscotch non prestige. I think some August orders should be appearing this month.
