Advantages of leather upholstery
Cleaning
There is no type of seat easier to clean than a leather one. Any classic problem (vomiting due to dizziness, chocolate spots, footsteps of small children, …) can be cleaned with a cloth in 5 minutes. A cloth seat can be a big challenge for the driver if he wants to keep it clean, especially if he has a dog or a small child.
Elegance
This advantage is evident and is what we all see with the naked eye. A car with leather upholstery gives an image of elegance and class that does not give even the most beautiful fabric upholstery on the market. If you are looking for the extra that will give the final touch of cache to your car, leather upholstery should be your choice.
Comfort
The fabric seats are very comfortable, especially if they are heated or air-conditioned. There is no comparison between the feeling of sitting in a leather seat and a seat of cloth.
Disadvantages of leather upholstery
Price
Add leather upholstery to your car can increase the price between 1,500 and 2,500 dollars. Are you willing to spend that money on a purely visual improvement? Many prefer to invest more in the engine or in some other extra as the parking assistant.
Temperature
Although nowadays leather upholstery (almost always) includes heated armchairs, the less luxurious models still do not include them. And that means that in winter you will have a “frozen” armchair and in the summer one that will practically burn you if you dare to sit down after leaving it in the sun. The temperature management of the leather is not the best, and you should even leave the car open in summer 5-10 minutes before sitting down.
Caution
Although leather is much easier to clean than cloth, any damage is harder to fix (or disguise) and can cost a much higher price. He will be worrying all day about the people who get into his car and about the fact that they can hurt his precious upholstery.
