Congrats and welcome to the X3 family. Enjoy the ride!

Just in case you like to wear blue jeans, the light interior could suffer some blue dye transfer. Here's a thread you can read for reference.

Enjoy. It’ll be much more economical than the Evoque, too.

Luckily in UK we don't have any X3 model with Sensatec seats, our base is Vernasca leather throughout range

I say Leather, it's PU Coated so the leather is encapsulated and hidden from our touch, I had some Jean stains on our Cognac and it wipes off easy enough as it has no way of soaking into the leather (in theory)

Luckily enough I’m used to it as I have a light interior now ,just a wipe over when it’s looking a bit dirty so hopefully it’s just the same

We had an Evoque - SD4, with virtually all the options. It definitely wasn’t economical. It was almost a very good car, but that’s another story...

Congrats sure you will love it.
Oyster is a great interior choice for contrast but then i am biased .
just keep some leather cleaner handy for the inevitable transfer.
