Artico leather - Man-made leather

In almost every car there are grained surfaces that are not leather-covered. These are hard plastic parts (dashboards, steering wheels, handles etc.) or synthetic leather-covered door panels or backs and lower parts of car seats. For a lot of models of Jaguar, American, French and Japanese car manufacutres, it is common to use genuine leather for the contact surfaces (seat, back, front of the headrest), but all other surfaces of the seat set are made of artificial leather. In contrast to the furniture sector, the qualities of the artificial leather are generally good. Incredibly robust was e.g. The MB-TEX from Mercedes, which generations of taxi drivers used to have. The new generations of imitation leather of Mercedes is called "Artico leather" with comment "man-made leather". This material description does not appear to be in compliance with EU standards.
