Default Poor Leather Quality?

Hi,

we own a brand new Lexus CT200h with Leather seats (Semi-anilin), ivory color.

the leather quality is very poor, the leather does not feel good. Compared to an IS, i am not satisfied at all....

Can someone tell me, if this is "standard" on the CT, or if we simply got a bad one?

I think it's standard. Lexus leather is very delicate to begin with, and I feel like the leather in the CT is not up to par compared to other Lexus vehicles. I will be replacing my leather myself with something more durable.

^^ leather is an option so they could have bought one with leather. However, it is not possible to get semi analine leather in the CT, it is just basic leather

Well. I definitely ordered leather with mine. It creases easily.
