Leather/Suede Seats. - The Valeter - 24-12-2012 11:28pm

Anyone got any decent pictures of the leather/suede seats that are on non UK models please?

Let´s see if these can help:

I´ve seen these live, and also the ebony version. I must admit that the ebony looked much better.

From my personal experience, owning an old car with part suede seats, I can tell you it wears worse than leather. I care my car meticulously and the suede parts of the seat are in very bad condition, while the leather is in perfect condition.
I hope I have helped Thumbs Up

Those suede seats look terrible!

I really like the Suede/Leather. Thanks for the photo.

Alcantara (feax seude) does not generally wear well but actual seude does as I have a customer with a Porche Cayenne with Suede/Leather seats & he has had that for 3.5 years and they are as good as new.

It isn't a popular option on RRS or D4 as it isn't suede that LR uses, it is Alcantra and those I know who have it say it shows dirt easily and wears badly. Try searching over on RRSport.co.uk and see if you turn up anything. I think most people go for the leather option when there is Alcantra as the standard with RRS

Darker colors are much better looking the the light colors. Maybe get contrasting colors will look better then the tan look

Looks really nice especially in the black - much better looking IMO than plain black leather which I think looks rather bland especially on the Pure/Dynamic.
I will need to find out whether it is actually seude as I have put in a special request to Landrover for it to be fitted to a new Pure should I buy one. If it can't I would have Cirrus as that has a nice contrast (Grey/Black).

According to my Evoque catalog, it is made from recycled material, and is called "Dinamica", a registered trademark of MIKO S.rl.

In previous Audis I've always ordered the synthetic suede material called 'Alcantara' a I prefer it to full leather - it's warmer in winter and more pleasant to sit on in the summer - wish LR would offer it as an option in the UK market.
