I will call the dealer back today
to confirm.
Addendum:
Sewell says the top is Nuluxe and
the front facing the passenger is leather.

I can't find much information on Nuluxe except that it is a synthetic leather used in the Lexus CT200h. I'm sure it's a better choice than genuine leather for the top of the dash but I hope it is durable and heat-resistant because it gets really hot in this hot summer weather.

In my experience, the synthetic stuff Lexus uses is pretty good. Not sure if it was Nuluxe (it was more of a suede texture), but what I had in my IS300 (seat inserts) held up very well. I have no doubt that this stuff will too.

If you feel the texture of the material on top of the dash, and then feel the texture of the material that borders it, you can tell it is different material. I'm betting that the material on top is Nuluxe (i.e. fake leather) and the border material is genuine leather....like they told you the first time.

Yeah I'd bet money that its not real leather...I agree it feels artificial.
