I normally just run the car through a vin decoder first to see what options it has so you can tell in advance if it's MB-tex or real leather or whether it has dynamic seats. But yes, the real leather has 3 vertical slats and MB-tex has a single horizontal slat in the center of the seat cushion. Just take a careful look if it's MB-tex to make sure it's not ripped.

^ This, exactly. The drive dynamic seat offers better adjustability, along with active bolsters.Then there is the massage function on longer trips to also help. I don't believe the seat construction is any different between normal leather surface and MB tex in the standard seat.

MBtex. feels great, cleans easily, cheap to replace if bad stuff happens =D , and doesnt leave the weird stress marks real leather does

my bosses 2015 s class already has permanent dents on the center armrest leather form leaning on it... big guy, but still... sad to see such beautiful leather showing aging signs so soon. new leather is NOT old leather... for sure..

some sand brown ;leather interior is damn nice though
