A Mercedes-Benz recently announced a major update to its S-Class car line. Among the numerous changes, the most notable is the luxurious fabric used for the seats inside the cabin.
Available from the entry model, the S350dthe upholstery combines synthetic leather for the side supports with a fabric made from linen and recycled polyester for the center of the seat.
Surprisingly, this new fabric option is not touted as a more economical choice. In fact, customers will pay more if they want it.
According to the website Carscoopsthe choice of fabric seats requires the purchase of the “Electrically adjustable rear seats with memory function” package, which adds €1,856.40 (about US$2,200) to the total value of the car.

Buyers who still prefer genuine material are not left out, as genuine leather with an all-black finish is available as an option at no additional cost.
The values for the new S-Class have not yet been released. But considering the previous model starts at $119,500, it’s reasonable to assume the updated model will cost a bit more.
