Leather

Hi,
Does an Autobiography have better quality leather upholstery than a Vogue SE? or is it down to original purchasers options.
Cheers

Both should have semi aniline leather, ABs get leather fascia and headlining too.

Depends how you define 'quality' - what's the specific issue ?

There are some AB only options, but most can be spec'd on a VSE

Thanks both. My issue is that I’ve been looking at a few 2011/12 vogues and Abs at about 100K but the seating doesn’t seem to be in as good condition as by Volvo XC70 @130K. The Abs seem to look a little better though.
Cheers

As has been said, the seat leather is the same but the AB gets nice smooth leather on the dash/doors as well with additional stitching. The VSE looks fine, until you have a good look at an AB interior then you realise in the VSE, the cuffs don’t match the collar…… MY23 Panamera E-Hybrid

For that age and mileage, are you looking at the leather that’s aged more and not been treated as the other(s)? My current L322 seems to have leather that’s shinier and more slippery especially after the car wash guys have finished with it! Not sure what they spray it with…
I don’t recall my last L322 being that bad (although that was a AB too) nor my L320…

My thinking is that it’s not been looked after, and a leather clean / recondition will help. That’s what I’ll be doing with mine. Currently driving: 2012 L322 SE Overfinch 4.4 tdv8

Past rides:
2014 Audi Q7 3.0d (good riddance)
2010 L322 Autobiography 5.0 Supercharged
2011 L320 HSE 3.0 sdv6
2014 Jaguar XF-RS 5.0 supercharged
2007 BMW 535D
