Kinda stinks. The cheaper LX and S model also have "SOFINO Leatherette Seat Trim ". Part of he upgrades Kia showson the EX trim are that is has Leather Seat Trim.. Pretty shady that its not real leather.It’s “Sofino Leatherette”. Although I have to say it’s the nicest fake leather I’ve ever seen.
I know, it seems nice when I test drove it- although the top of the 3rd row already had scuffs from the seats folding, and looked like it needed repaired. My wife noticed it and was like, and said she hoped I didn't want that particular model since the seats were already ripping. So I am really not sure how they will hold up if it already has issues after a few days.... I guess they have to make shortcuts to get that price down lolIt actually IS quite nice - and people say it holds up better over time than real leather...
ahhh good catch! Didnt read that close enough. OK well that makes me feel better thenIt has real leather. If you look at the window sticker it says Sofina, but then look on the right side of the window sticker and it will show real leather replaceing the Sofina. The window sticker is the same as the LX but then it lists the EX as an option, so it's features are listed on the right side.
