Different trim maybe, or one was just an older image?

Either way, both are sweet sets
I suspect the nice steering wheel is part of the upper end trim package, and the interior spy photos are of a base model. Time will tell

One good thing is that the way they have done the new dash top and front, it appears that it will be easier for one to cover it in leather. This is because they have moved the side defroster vents to the doors and split the console into multiple parts. It looks like it can now be done with minimal cut and sew. Perhaps an option might be afoot?

The disappointing thing I see in these early interior photos is the noticeable difference in shade/sheen from the left & center instrument panel and the right airbag cover. While it looks like a lot of strides have been made in the look of quality, it casts a shadow to see that.

Also with Ford's new "poke through" radio & HVAC control center, audiophiles are going to have a tougher time doing a good looking installation of high end head units. Somebody will surely do a kit, or perhaps one can use the Ford trim part that goes with the NAV system option.
