Exclamation Semi-Aniline Leather & Alcantara Headliner

Hello,

So apparently my 2013 460L has the "Semi-Aniline Leather & Alcantara Headliner" package.

I'm trying to find a "side-by-side" comparison between the regular LS460 interior and the interior which features the "Semi-Aniline Leather & Alcantara Headliner".

I've looked through the 2013 LS460 model brochures, and they don't provide a whole lot in the way of pictures.

If anyone has any insight, please feel free to share.

Thank you.

So in searching the web, it looks like I finally got a (good) picture of the Alcantara Headliner... which is the panoramic picture....

The second picture, the one with the open sunroof, I think is the standard headliner...

Someone please chime in to confirm or refute.

Thank you

Alcantara headliners is in high end vehicles. Its soft, look good and feels better. Its in my LS.

Yep you got it. The standard headliner is actually very nice and very plush, but the standard leather is a significant downgrade from the semi-aniline leather. It's the only option I wish my car had that it doesn't have.

The alcantara headliner feels like a soft suade. The standard is cloth. The the leather you notice it a lot at the armrest. The standard armrest has an almost rubber like top and the othe is soft leather.

Yeah, alcantara is really nice and a price-increase option. I haven't felt the semi-alaline leather, but as others have stated, I'm sure it's nice.

Option is only $500 which I think is a deal, issue is its commonly attached to other stuff...

That's funny cause I just took for granted all the LSs came with it as my 04 and 14 have it.
