The material of the car seat is a configuration that many people will attach great importance to when buying a car. The grade of its materials also determines the grade of the car to a certain extent, and the leather seats feel better than the fabric ones, which are more comfortable to ride and easier to clean. However, many dealers will advertise their car seats as "leather seats" when they sell their cars. Even some models that sell for less than 100,000 will casually say that their car is equipped with leather seats. In fact, just think about it, where are there so many leather seats! Totally impossible. In fact, the types of car seats are very diverse, and only some very high-end leather materials meet the leather standards.

One of the leather seat materials: is artificial leather. This can be said to be the main force of leather materials for models below 200,000. There are generally three types: PVC artificial leather with PVC resin as raw material, PU leather with PU resin as raw material, and synthetic leather with PU resin and non-woven fabric as raw materials. Most of the artificial leather seats on the market today are made of PU polyurethane. The biggest advantage is that they are low-cost and durable. Some of the artificial leathers are not even worse in function and practicability than genuine leather.

The second leather seat material is microfiber leather. This is a relatively advanced artificial leather, the full name is microfiber reinforced leather, which is a polyurethane composite, but it is very close to genuine leather in feel. Moreover, it is resistant to low temperature, wear resistance, pulling, and cracks are not easy to occur. More importantly, there will be no pollution from production to use, and the environmental protection performance is superior, so it is widely used in medium and high-end models.

The third leather seat material is leather. This is true leather. Today's genuine leather is a general term for natural leather. Simply put, it is the leather that is peeled off from animals and made of leather after a series of physical, mechanical, and chemical treatments. Leather is generally said to be durable, non-perishable, and not easily damaged. There are many kinds of leather, different animal leather materials, processing technology is also very different, quality, grade, the price also has many grades, the most used in cars is the first layer of cowhide or second layer of cowhide, a full leather seat Chairs, bare leather materials cost at least thousands or even tens of thousands, so real leather basically only appears on luxury brand models. And the leather of some mid-to-high-end models will not use 100% complete leather. Instead, the leather residue and leather fibers are ground and made of regenerated leather bonded with adhesive under high pressure. Leather is used for some frequently touched parts of the chair, and artificial leather is used for other parts.

How can we distinguish genuine leather from ordinary artificial leather? The easiest way is to look at the appearance, feel and smell. Generally, good leather is bright and soft in color, soft and tough to the touch, and has no pungent smell; while the interior leather is smooth but hard to the touch; Poor leather not only feels rough but also has a strong plastic smell. In addition, after the leather is rubbed, there will be a smell that comes with the leather, but the microfiber leather does not have this smell.
