considering how poorly this class of sedan is selling across the category it wouldnt surprise me if the Q8 gets the lions share of new sales and options for buyers.

I have 2015 Audi A8 my dealership is not telling any difference in leather.
I have 22-way Comfort Seats with Massage. Is that leather valcona?
Standard leather is valetta leather.
Just trying to find the difference on leathers including nappa leather.
I appreciate for your help?

You’d have to have added the Luxury Package to get Valcona leather. I think Nappa leather was available only as a pricy Audi Exclusive order.

Since being a pricy leather then nappa is more quality then valcona?
just want to be clear prior to making the 2019 order. The smell of leather is a great experience in a luxury vehicle.
