Auto Upholstery - The Hog Ring - Mercedes-Benz Designo Granite Trim

Not concerned about vehicle weight? Then forget about plastic, carbon fiber or wood trim. Mercedes-Benz will dress your interior in genuine granite.

Dashboard, console, door panels, you name it and Benz will cover it in stone. It’s all part of the automaker’s Designo bespoke program.

Sure it’s only one millimeter thick, but it’s heavy. And at $2,650, the price ain’t light either.
