• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

I'm sure this topic has been discussed many times. I searched and read. I swear.

Anyway....Shopping for a 2024 Telluride SX X-Pro. Not really interested in the prestige level. My wife and I just left our local dealer (Halleen Kia, N Olmstead OH) and we sat in EVERY SX X-Pro and SXP X-Pro on the lot.

Here's my understanding of leather choices:
Regular leather
X-Pro leather (has V-shaped stitching and embossed X-Pro logo)
Nappa leather (has multiple horizontal stitch lines)

Now...here's my issue and my question. SX X-Pro leather and SXP X-Pro (nappa) leather all have the same V-shaped stitching. That leads me to believe that ALL X-Pro leather is actually nappa leather. Or perhaps all of the SXP X-Pros only have "regular" X-Pro leather (I find the unlikely). Or Kia has 2 different levels of X-Pro leather with the V stitching that look identical (I find that unlikely, as well).

So, can someone provide a little clarity for me here? Are there really 2 different levels of X-Pro leather that look identical? Or are SX X-Pro owners actually getting unadvertised Nappa leather?
 
According to the kia website, only the sx-p or above have nappa leather. I just picked up an sx xpro and the seats seem ok, but nothing really special.
