Leather Seats and Vinyl Sides? - Honda Pilot

dpierson · 10-03-2007, 09:13 AM

Is it correct that the leather seats have leather seating surfaces but the sides are vinyl. Also, are the door inserts real leather or vinyl? Lastly, the third row is all vinyl correct?

I believe the answer is yes to all of your statements (at least it was true for our '04 EX-L/RES).

yes, that's why most of them are call "leather trim". They put leather only on the seating surface.

It's the same as most M. Benz, BMW, Lexus, etc.

Historically, if not currently, Benz offered a "leatherette" with the comforts of leather and durability of vinyl, and none of it was leather, IIRC.

This is true for many of the BMW 3 series as well in the basic trim.

I started to say the seat isn't the one suffering but looking at the photo, that seat is definitely the one "suffering" if you get my drift.

Ok, my seats don't do that. Something doesn't add up here...were you not wearing pants while driving your Pilot or something?

The MDX models up to '06 was similar. Leather where you sit but vinyl sides.
