https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/acurazi...0151d3f06e.jpg Hello guys I'm new to the forum I just purchased a 2019 TLx a spec I'm not sure if it's just me or if I'm to picky but my car only has 275 miles and the leather has gotten creases lines wrinkles whatever they might call them I'm not an expert is this normal? |
Mine were like that after a day or 2, a bit disappointed in how the leather is put together and holding up. I may wait a few months to see how it goes, then head to dealer. Reminds me of my 3G where they replaced the drivers seat leather due to all the sagging and creasing. I think some of it is poor fit at factory as my passenger seat was used twice and looks like that since new. Drivers seat looks a tad worse than your pic.

So far, none; hard to judge because, I basically drive on weekends; maybe 5-700 miles per month
lets see what happens after 2-3 years |

Softer leather I guess. Looks like normal wear to me.

leather is going to wear as soon as you start sitting in it. Your best bet is to regularly condition your leather. You can buy a leather conditioner product anywhere they sell automotive detail products. Apply liberally, let it absorb into the leather, then remove all excess. You should do it twice a year as regular upkeep. Doing it a bit more will help preserve the leather longer.
It doesn't make it indestructible, but it makes it soft and gives it the oils or whatever to keep it supple and will keep your creases down over time. I don't know what causes this to happen so soon, but, I had a 2016 370z Nismo with the factory Recaro racing seats in it. I drove that car about 4000 miles per year. And my passenger seat had a bunch of creases already forming, when there was almost no one ever in that seat. There was a passenger in the car for maybe a combined 2500 miles. The passenger seat actually looked worse than the driver's seat. I don't know what kind of leather was used on the recaro seats, but suffice to say that the seat leather was not cheap. They replaced the top half of my leather on the driver's seat (completely unrelated issue), and it had to go through an approval process because it cost something like almost 4k CDN to replace :what: Funny thing is, I conditioned that leather too, but the creases happened on the passenger side anyway. I really think it's unavoidable. |
I have just over 17,000 on my 2018 and have very little, if any, signs of wear on mine. I’ve only conditioned the seats once since new. |

I was under the impression that all leather wears like this if it has a good amount of padding underneath. The leather on the doors or the center console is pretty firm underneath so there is nothing to stretch out the leather but on the seats the soft material underneath can’t really hold the leather taunt enough if that makes sense. |
Looks pretty normal to me. I’ll have to take a pic of my seat leather now a year and two months in, but I certainly don’t find the leather wear excessive. I’m 5’10” and 175 pounds though, so my butt is not killing the bolster, either, or at least I hope not. |

looks like a base V seat :tomato:

Anyone think i should take her in? Some of you say it's normal what should I do
|
Looks normal to me. I wouldn't fret too much about it. If in 3 or 4 months it's substantially worse, which I don't think it will be, I would take it in then maybe.

Totally normal.
The wear and creases won't be uniform from car to car. It somewhat depends on the cut and fit of the leather covers over the foam filler. Also body type, weight distribution, and clothing worn all make a difference on wear patterns on a seat. |

OP, to me your leather wear looks normal and I have never seen leather not crease immediately.

Love mine. They were a bit firm in the beginning but now are worked in. They are aging great after two years of use. Also, you don't cook in the summer and don't freeze your ba**s off in the winter.

The more I see them the more I start to appreciate the Alcanta seats. How do you like them?

My wife's 2014 Nissan Altima SL has minimal creases because the leather has a sort of "plasticized coating", kind of like an entry level Audi leather seat. Soft leather is more comfortable but typically has more creases/indentations. Don't sweat it.

I still love them. Easy to clean, and the wear at now 25 months into lease is the same as the picture you quoted, which I took at 14 months.

I love leather (especially the leather in my TLX). Leather....ANY leather, will crease and stretch (just like skin, which is essentially, what it is). Some people like the worn look of leather (me being one of them). Some want it to stay perfectly ”non creased” (that will never happen with leather).
Your leather looks fine. A year from now, 2 years from now, etc, it will look different than it does today. Enjoy the car, and the seats, as I think they’re some of the best seats in the biz. |
