I am going through the Porsche configurator right now and I am stuck with the interior...
What's the difference between:

1. Partial Leather Seats
2. Leather Sears
3. Leather Interior

I have too many variations in my head why they are different but all of them can be false haha. Pelase help me to understand so I know what to consider for my 991 when ordering.

Please attach some pics if you have any.

Thanks!

 

You forgot (4. Natural Leather interior (the finest quality leather Porsche offers).

That is all I can offer on this

 

I think partial leather seats are just the seating surfaces, leather seats are all leather (seating area plus sides and back), interior leather is above plus dash, doors and console. I think the "i" button might clarify. Can't remember.

 

yes, #3 means more leather- door panels, dash, etc. It is, however, NOT FULL leather. P charges a la cart for other areas like sun visor for example.

Natural Leather is just a higher grade of leather.

the extra leather looks nice but you have to take care of it.

 

So basically Partial Leather seats is leather seats combined with letherette?
Leather Seats as I can understand are full leather seats, and Leather interior is jsut some additonal leather on door panels and top dashboard.

Never heard of natural leather. Can you find it in configurator?

 

^^^ Yes thats right.

Natural leather is supposed to be a tad softer and the hides have less blemishes. This can only be selected if you first select leather interior. expresso and red are the choices IIRC.

separately you can customize the interior to add leather virtually everywhere. Its highly customizable

 

Okay, so if my choice is Leather Seats, I will be good and have real leather on my seats? not letherette?

 

yes.

BTW i would get the Sport seats Plus. I like them

 

Natural leather (I've read somewhere) is also at its best after a year or more in the car and some use. Mine is becoming just exquisite after a year and 10k miles.

 

byk,

I too was confused with the description........and yes partial leather seats (and sport) gives you leather seating surfaces, ie everything your body touches while driving.

Regarding the different leathers, I found this thread very helpful. I changed seats based on it...

Since i dug up an old thread, where is Riley these days anyway?

 

P is terrible at explaining these things.

 

Aha, found it - this thread should help.
