I have a 2018 D5 HSE with what I think is the base interior. I bought it CPO so I don’t know if there was any option but as far as I know it’s standard leather seats and the doors/dashboard are covered with something that seems almost like a nylon weave material. Does anyone know what that material is? I don’t think it’s any kind of leather but I’m unable to find any description. I’m trying to figure out what it is so I can clean/protect it correctly.

 

Yes - the HSE came as standard with the base seat leather "grained leather" as LR call it. But the higher quality 'Windsor leather' was an option on the HSE model (and standard on HSE Lux). If you have the build sheet you should be able to tell.

Door cards are just covered with some sort of vinyl - seems pretty durable and a good car interior cleaner should work well.

 

Thanks for the response. I’m sure I don’t have the Windsor Leather option and the base package you describe seems right. I went for low mileage & longest remaining warranty when I bought it. There were only a few good ones to choose from based on that. In hindsight there are a few options I would have preferred, but I like mine and that interior is indeed durable. Doors are surviving dog nails well!

 

I have used upholstery cleaner on my door fabric. I also use a spray bottle with half distilled water/half rubbing alcohol. Neither produce hurts my upholstery. I don't soak it, just a light misting and a wipe with a rag. I use that water/alcohol mix to wipe down door jambs and under hood cleanups.
