Only the seating surface is leather, but this is pretty typical of production vehicles with "leather" interiors these days. The bulk is actually vinyl. Actually I can barely tell the difference between the leather and vinyl areas. I like the quality just fine, but it's not super high grade stuff. It's not as supple as the leather furniture we have.

Just by thickness, feel and texture, it seems to be far better than the Chrysler 300 and Nissan Titan's leather seats that I compared it to. On those two vehicles, the leather seemed really thin and cheap. I felt like I was going to tear it when I sat down.

I love my leather interior in my gt its just the stupid driver side is crumbling.. not cracking just showing texture. It's definately 100 times better than any chrysler leather I have ever had. 9/10

McGuires gold class leather cleaner/conditioner works well IMO, and it smells nice too!

The aftermarket seats are also a leather/vinyl combo too. You would really have to special order and pay through the nose for "All leather"
