Hi everyone,
Not sure where to pose this question so here goes.
Just bought a 2018 sorento gtline s.
33kmiles.

The steering wheel to quit 'scrubbed '
Obviously not real leather.

Tried cleaning, just gets worse.

I see that this is a common issue and deemed wear and tear by kia.

Has anyone tried steering wheel covers ?

Regards

I use a stitch on leather one from eBay for one of my cars..was a bit fiddley but very doable. Found it ok and would be far cheaper than swapping out a steering wheel..

You would have to check if the wheel is the same Diameter and compatible for later models but here goes.. also check if it comes in black..that ones says grey

Surprised by this on a car that's only done that mileage, especially a Kia. Out of all the cars we've had, the only car that had an issue with wear was a 2011 Vauxhall Corsa. It was terribly worn after only 11,000 miles. Worst car we've ever had.
