Mercedes-Benz recently announced a major update to its S-Class lineup. Among the many changes, the ultra-luxurious fabric used on the interior seats stands out.
Upholstery is available from the base model S350d and combines synthetic leather on the side bolsters with a fabric made of linen and recycled polyester in the central part of the seat.

Surprisingly, this new fabric variant is not presented as a cheaper option. On the contrary, customers pay extra for it.
According to the website Carscoops the option of cloth seats requires the purchase of the “Electrically adjustable rear seats with memory function” package, which increases the total price of the car by €1,856.40 (approximately US$2,200).
Customers who prefer genuine material will not be shortchanged, as full black genuine leather is available at no extra cost.
Prices for the new S-Class have not yet been announced. Since the previous model starts at $119,500, it can be assumed that the updated version will be a bit more expensive.
