On the Macan Owners Facebook page recently, there was a discussion that Porsche's leather is not real. I chipped in that I had ordered and paid for the Black Leather Interior option and the Adaptive Sports Seats (18-way) option on my 2019 Macan S, so weren't they real leather ?, I asked. "Nope", came the answer ! What's the truth - does anyone know ?

The only non leather is (was) the standard seats on the original S models.
If you’ve paid for leather interior I cannot imagine why you would not get leather interior?

My leather seats are definitely leather.

My new Cayenne has similar marks in the leather and it’s only 4 months old and travelled 3,000 miles. I came to the conclusion that I have a boney backside

Even on leather seats, it’s often only the ‘facings’ that are leather. The sides and backs are often leatherette. The seat centres in the basic seats are Alcantara.

Paul - definitely not after buying the Cayenne.

Hi Robbie, was wondering, firstly did you manage to get to your OPC in time before lockdown & what was the outcome with the leather seats. I have the same issue but they come and go. Just checked now and none visible. My Macan is June 2018 with 7k on the clock and like yours driven occasionally.
Regards Imi

+1 don't see a big issue here sorry
