I'm about to order my first Porsche so I'm very excited. Trying to figure out one thing thought:

When we order the full leather interior, does it include the cental storage compartment cover and the rear transmission tunnel (ie the hump in the middle of the rear seats) or do they remain pleather/leatherette?

I would like them to be leather and am trying to work out if I need to order the XHS option: rear centre tunnel in leather with decorative stictching (including storage compartment cover)

Thanks!

 

From Porsche website configurator:

- front seat side bolsters

- airbag module on steering wheel
- gearshift lever

- center console side section
- dashboard top incl. instrument cluster cover
- dashboard bottom incl. glove compartment lid
- door handles
- door armrests and paneling
- door paneling top section
- door panel inserts
- rear seat centers
- rear seat bolsters
- rear side paneling
- center tunnel cover in rear

 

Thanks for the reply. I'm aware that the configurator says the leather include the centre console storage compartment lid and the centre tunnel cover in rear. However when I went to the Porsche dealer today (Sydney, Australia), the sales manager said those 2 parts are not included.

So I'm trying to clarify if it's just Australian Leather missing out on these or not.

 

My apologies, I did not notice your location. Is there a different configurator for Australia?

 

Yeah there is a different configurator in every country. With different options and different prices. eg Aust don't have Premium package

Anyhow, I'm still interested if someone in US/UK who has full leather interior can look at their cars and confirm if the storage compartment lid and rear tunnel is leather or not.

Thanks!

 

I can clarify the full leather in the US does have the storage compartment and center hump in leather but there is no decorative stitching unless you get the separate options for leather in those specific sections. There is a great thread on Rennlist by a guy named Eduardo who shows pics of each option. I got full leather and steering column in leather and am thrilled with the look and feel.

 

Yes, I have full leather and the center console and rear tunnel is full leather. It is a smoother texture than the base covering and looks more elegant. I think full leather is a must in this car, it comes with the Alcantara roof liner which looks and feels wonderful. Ha, the most compliments I get on my car are from the suede roof inside, weird, I know.

 

You failed to mention that wonderful smell of the leather

 

Hi all, one of my regrets is not getting full leather. Do you think I can have the dash/door done in leather after the fact? Love the look of the stitching.

 

I saw this from one of the psot here

Congrats! For me, the decorative stitching on this two section is worth the extra $. It really give the leather a more finish look, that said, I am considering counting the cost per stitch here
