I've been looking for a new car and it seems like you always have to select the most expensive package in order to get a leather interior. Are there any affordable new vehicles with a leather interior? I'm looking for a hatch or a wagon, but would take a CUV/SUV if it's a more affordable option.

From my experience, you need to opt for the highest trim to get leather upholstery in economy brands. Leatherettes don't count.

I like Bentley Bentayga because $20K down and $2K/month for 36month is affordable to me. lol.

Give us a range what your affordability is please.

Jetta Highline @ $25K starts to have leatherette. Civic Touring @ $27K is where leather starts to show up as well. Those are pretty reasonable starting points.

I don't think there would be a car under $25K that doesn't have fabric seats. (Well MSRP anyway)

2019 Corolla Hatchback.

A life spent making mistakes is not only more memorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.

Whatever hatchback you decide on within your budget range, bring it to a professional upholster and have a Katzkin kit install for $<2000.

Firstly the leather in majority of cars is shit, its urethane coated and feels like cardboard. This goes for entry level MB/BMW etc as well. I'd take fabric interior over shit leather unless it's dyed leather.

Probably easier to just have it reupholstered.
