The seating surfaces are leather. I believe the center armrest and door inserts are synthetic.

I don't mind the Vernasca on mine, but I do miss the Nappa from my S4 a bit. Whatever they're calling the new Sensatec is pretty nice. I checked out an X1 at the dealer and that stuff has come a loooong way.

The Sensatec seemed rubbery to me. When trying to get in/out of the seat it had too much grip and made it difficult. Plus my hard criteria was red interior and those two factors made my decision for Vernasca leather.
