Default S5 Alcantara sports seats?

I just ordered an S5 Sportback and went with the Alcantara seats for now. Still not sure if I should have went with full leather since I can't find any pictures on the internet.




Looks kinda ugly on the configurator.

What do you guys think?

Here's the S5 Sportback in Nappa leather on the Canadian Configurator

I went with the alcantara also. From my reading the alcantara wears in better long term (less stretching and cracking), cooler in the summer, warmer in the winter, grips for cornering. The leather is easier to clean if you eat in your car and the Napa leather package has contrast stitching on the seats and added stitched seams on the doors and center console.

As an example, here are some pictures of the Audi TTS Alcantara seats on the Audi website vs REAL LIFE. As you can see the Audi website photos are not a fair representation of the Alcantara in real life. The S5 seats should look similar.






*I'm not sure if this is black or rotor gray

good choice either way if going with black. i dont think the rotor gray interior looks that great in alcantara though.

if going black, i would personally probly opt for alcantara
