BL/BD MGV vs Leather

[Adam80]

Hi all, first off this is my first post - brand new to the group and have my order in for a 4 door Badlands. I know this topic is covered in older feeds but looking for updated info based on everyone's experience over time with the seat types.

I am between the leather and MGV seats - I usually get leather in vehicles but like the idea of the vinyl for durability, ease of cleaning and like that you can wash out the floors. I also wonder how the leather does with sun exposure over time with the top down. To me leather is always more "premium" but I hear great things about MGV....

Thoughts?

I love the MGV, not that I've needed to clean them yet.

Everyone who sees them assumes they're leather anyway

Most "leather" seats are leather on the bottom and back only. I do NOT yet have my Bronco but drove to a place where some MGV Badlands were being displayed. The MGV felt much softer and better IMHO than leather. Hopefully, in a week or so I will have a better informed opinion.

I had a mannequin for 2 weeks with leather seats and my Badlands order that I've had for almost that same amount of time has MGV.

My opinion - MGV all the way. I love the seats and the fact that it comes with a wash out floor on a vehicle intended to remove the roof, it makes it a no-brainer.

Welcome, and congrats on taking the plunge! I’ve had my BL with the leather package since 9/1 and 9,400 miles later I still absolutely love it.
Its hot with the top off in the sun as you would expect but so is the MGV from what I understand.
bottom line for me is that I’m glad I got it.
good luck, and welcome to the looney bin!

I vote MGV all the way. It’s really nice material, very soft and in no way does it feel cheap. We recently had a cold snap in my area (-15 Celsius for a few days) and the vinyl seats in my Bronco didn’t get anywhere near as cold as the leather in other vehicles I drove. Plus it’s easier to maintain than leather and you save a chunk of change skipping the option on the BL

I've sat in all trims of Bronco and to me the mgv felt the best. Even though I have no use for a Badlands it's exactly why I went with it along with high package. The leather seating felt too stiff for me.

I love my badlands with mgv! The back support feels awesome. I have owned acuras, audis,Volvo, infinitie and the mgv is better than those.

We own both, leather in the FE and MGV in the Badlands. We prefer the MGV.

If you haven’t felt the MGV yet, go to a dealer and feel one immediately. It feels plush and comfortable. I would not pick the leather over MGV even if it was the same price.

Personal opinion??

MGV seats. 100%. If you get sick of the MGV seats and decide you want leather. Katzkin

My dealer actually took their demo Big Bend Bronco and installed Katzkin leather and seat heaters. Very impressed with the result.

I’ve yet to see leather on the Bronco that was pulled right and not wrinkled in spots so I went MGV.

You MGV peeps are forgetting the most important part of the upgrade to leather

 

[MJedi209]

Coming from "leather as a must", to MGV I didn't know what to expect. It's only been a month, but honestly, I love them. I'm not sure what I expected, but they're definitely better than what I had in mind.
