I ordered my 22/D90 with the no-cost Dinamica seat option and it came through as ordered - it a reverse of the leather/fabric combo - so it's the rubber trim material around the outside and the suede-esque material in the middle(see photo - full disclosure - not my car)

I'm hoping mine does not come with leather seats - I ordered a base model precisely to avoid that (and wasn't allowed to spec a sun roof because of that choice).

Base model is the only model with cloth seats.

In Canada where I am, S is the base model. Steel wheels etc. but I was able to get the pano roof. Just no textile seats even though they still show as available.

Oh, yeah I'm in the US. The P300 is the base engine and it includes two trims, the Standard and then the S, which is what I have. At least for 2022 90's.

I have the textile acorn seat edge on my 2020 D110 S P300 and the cloth is not coming clean fully. Over time, even with flushing, scrubbing with a toothbrush and using the 303 aircraft sealing, the cloth is holding stains that don’t come out.

The cloth is interesting to examine up close. It is Kind of 3D with depth of staining, not just on the surface. It is Impossible as of yet to get it all clean.

I am not much sensitive to dirt in the car, but my spouse is. It’s my daily driver, so no harm done.

Just noting this situation to say that the withdrawal of this fabric edging is rational due to the staining.

Enjoy !!

Maybe we’re talking about different fabric or something, but my 2022 110 P400 X Dy SE, which I’ve now had for 32 days and ordered in late-March, has fabric and leather, which is what I ordered. That was the Khaki and Ebony interior.

What type fabric is it people think has been done away with?

Certain Trims of the Defender for 2022 have done away with the fabric/leather mix. But you can still get cloth on the base model, all leather on some models, the suede, and I believe the fabric/leather mix on some trims, unless that was for early production '22 models.

For example, my '22 90 S has all leather, but a '21 90 S on the lot, had the fabric/leather mix, same model and trim, just a model year earlier. I liked the Canvas like material but hear it stains extremely easily and is very default to get rid of those stains, plus I like the look of all leather better. The Dynamica Suede is my fav tho.

My 90 S was a June build and came with Khaki leather even though it was order with leather/fabric. They must have made this change sometime between March and June builds.....interesting that it was a mid-model year change.

My order was late-March but my build was 5/5.

But maybe the X-Dynamics are still getting the fabric/leather combo? Or maybe it’s only if you order Khaki/Ebony, and not just Khaki?
