Default 2023 RX350h Ultra Luxury upholstery

My sales rep says that there no longer is genuine leather in high end Lexus models. Rather he says it is synthetic leather which is better quality than Nuluxe. On the Lexus website and in brochures it states the interior is leather. Can anyone confirm if it is genuine leather or not?

My 350h Luxury has leather-trimmed seats, steering wheel, and shift ****. It also has ultrasuede trim on the seats and door. The leather, the seats, and the interior are outstanding imo

My luxury RX350h says the front seats are trimmed in leather which at the most are the seating surfaces.

From my window sticker:

It looks like you are based in Canada.

On the 350h in Canada, the standard model (Premium) comes with NuLuxe Seats, the Luxury and Ultra Luxury packages comes with Smooth Leather (probably real leather) and the Executive package comes with Semi-Aniline Leather seats.

I have found the surface of the seats to be just like leather, even if some surfaces are not. Todays “fake” leather is likely superior in wear and long term appearance. Even the vinyl surfaces seem a bit more premium to me. The dash and doors have a great feel. Also glad that Lexus had a minimal amount of the black piano gloss finish and went with Matt surfaces instead.
