From full breathable PU leather to PU leather and perforated sponge-like upholstery combination. All very clean and stylish options.
Design
Gaps allow for airbags to function.
The armrest section needs to be fully unzipped before you can use the armrest. The issue with this is that this leaves a slightly loose looking section in the middle of the back seats.
This is not necessarily going to be noticeable to most people, especially to those who don’t own the car, but when the rest of the seat cover set is of such a high standard, it is a shame that this has been overlooked.

Material
The material is leather-like synthetic and feels reassuring to the touch. It definitely feels like it will last for a while without wearing down much.
It stretches enough to be installed tightly over the seats but regains its original tautness one fitted.
Design
When fitted these car seat covers look fresh and totally transform the car interior. The coverage is excellent, leaving very little of the original car seat exposed. It has a superior OEM look to it.
Installation
The installation process is relatively painless and comes with a decent set of instructions that contain relevant images.
An installation video is provided and is an excellent resource giving you a fairly detailed run-through of exactly how to install.
It might take one person about 1-2 hours to install, although some have reported it taking them at least double the amount of time.

Cons
- Does not give full coverage

Made from a noticeably thick synthetic leather that offers a reassuring touch quality and durability. The thickness of the material doesn’t disrupt the effect of car features like heated seats etc.
Design
It’s worth mentioning that while these covers will definitely freshen up your interior, they do not offer complete coverage, especially on the front seat around the headrest and sides.
Oasis Auto also manufacture custom seat covers that provide full coverage.
The buckles are made from plastic, and some feedback suggests that these buckles might struggle to hold under the pressure of fitting on larger seats.
However, the customer service is also reported to be excellent, which gives confidence in resolving such issues.
Installation
There is an installation video and multiple supporting media available which is always useful with car seat covers. Expect to spend up to 2 hours for one person to fit these.
Pros
- Excellent supporting installation instructions available
- The custom-fit is OEM-like
- Durable quality material
Cons
- Plastic buckles feel like weak points during installation
- Small areas of coverage missing

For the latest list of manufacturers check out their store.
Material
Made from PU leather, that comes across as quality and has the looks and feel of genuine leather.
Design
Once installed the car seat cover has very good coverage, leaving only small areas of the original seat exposed. While these areas aren’t that noticeable, it may irritate perfectionists out there.
The plastic buckles feel somewhat weaker than they should, so care should be taken during installation.
Installation
Excellent installation guide and video available.
The back seats might require a bit of extra help, however, overall this can be installed by one person in approximately 2-3 hours.
It has been suggested that taking out the rear seats and then installing the seat covers makes for a much better fit and final appearance.
While this makes sense and is likely to be applicable to most if not all seat covers, it would clearly take more effort and know-how to do and isn’t essential.
However, it is something the bear in mind for those who are comfortable with removing and re-installing seats.
