What type of leather will the new Freelander sport? The Range Rover Sport "premium leather" is similar in quality to that of standard BMW leather. The Freelander leather looks (at least in pictures) to be inferior to those. Does anyone know the type of the leather that's being used in the new Freelander?

Are you really saying that you will buy a vehicle based solely on the composition of the material of the seat facings?
Why not wait and make the judgement for yourself when you actually eyeball the vehicle?

As You, I'm hanging around this site to get pre-sale information. Your post didn't add any of that sort. I'm not planning to catch the bone you threw regarding seat facings.

There is one thing for sure.
Ford will supply us with the cheapest seat facings that they can obtain that give the appearnce of quality..

The leather in F2 is only on the seat bolsters and facings(ie the hard wear areas) the rest is "mock" leather (aka leather-a-like PVC!). My RRS has this combo and I would defy anybody to tell which parts are leather and which are not, it is such a good match.

on the test drive today I didn't notice any real difference in the leather thats is on my D3. Fiona

It is the same seat as the RRS too!
