Leather Interiors
Yes, most automobile leater interiors are real.
Here is more input and advice:
- If the sticker says "leather interior" that's what you've got. Remember that anything the salesman promises you verbally isn't worth the paper it's written on. Anything written down is fairly reliable.
- Think what you want to think about "man made leather" but as I am in the textile market, anyone with a sense of touch in their fingertips can tell the squeak of leather.
- Audi only uses drum-dyed real leather from cows.
- Most leather interiors are actual leather. If you can't tell the difference then try seeing how you stick to it on a hot summer day.
Unless it's a mega-high-dollar car, the backs and sides of the seats and usually the door panel trim inserts are vinyl. Sometimes the side bolsters of the seats (the edges of the part you actually sit on) are vinyl too; occasionally (rarely, and only on coupes) the entire back seat will be vinyl. Look for descriptions like "Leather seat inserts" for the former and "Leather-trimmed front seats" for the latter.
