Hi All - we are getting ready to place an order for Base Macan but have a question about the difference between the 2 options:

Standard Interior / Fabric Upholstery Seats (in Black) and
Leather Package. (in Black)

Appreciate any inputs/ feedback.

Hi

in the standard interior selection, the seats are partially in leather except in the center where your back rests against the chair. It also includes as per the configurator:
Includes in Smooth-Finish Leather:
  • Steering wheel rim
  • Gear selector and boot

With the leather package, there is more leather, As per the configurator:
Includes in Smooth-Finish Leather:
  • Upper dashboard
  • Center console storage compartment lid
  • Seat centers
  • Inner seat bolsters
  • Front side of seat headrests (front)
  • Door panel armrests (front and rear)
  • Door grab handles (front and rear)

However if you select the ventilated seat option, the seat centers will be in leather. This was not obvious in the configurator. I chose a standard interior for 22MY and as part of the Premium Plus package, got ventilated seats as well. When I took delivery of my car last week, the seats centers were in leather.

Hope this helps.

Thank you very much for the detailed comparison between the 2 options!

We are also going with Premium Plus package. We mainly want the seats to be in leather, which Premium Plus includes.
I have the leather pkg. ($1740 option). I do appreciate the extra leather that’s included. The upper dash looks so much better than the standard pkg. I don’t think you get this with the premium + pkg.

The fabric in the 22 car is not the same as in the past . It used to be alcantara which I happen to love (getting it in my 911) . Porsche started making their own version of alcantara and changed the name to "race tex " . Its actually even better . However it is NOT the "fabric" in the Macan . The fabric is called sport tex . I drove a car with it and found it quite hot on a hot and humid (Florida summer) day .
I have not seen it on a Macan yet as its new . Here is a close up on a 911.
