Default Leather Seat Options

In my search for a used Cayenne I've come across two different types of leather seats. One is perforated leather and the other looks "bunched" like the type of leather you seem in a luxury sedan.

Which leather is which? I've seen designations for "Smooth" leather and "Soft Touch" Leather. It appears smooth leather is an upgrade and a higher quality of leather?

I looked at the available option packages and it just became even more confusing. I tried searching and didn't come up with much. Any enlightenment would be much appreciated.

It's personal preference. I find the "bunched" smooth leather more of a luxury and plush leather while the perforated is more of a sporty look leather and gives it some contrast since only the middle is perforated as the sides arnt.

It's personal bias, I admit, but I'm not a big fan of the ruffled leather. I don't like the wrinkled look and to me it looks less attractive the more wear it gets.
