Anyone having an issue with their leather seats? I have an 2017 R Sport with 2500 miles and take a look at my driver seat. I am 5'11" and weigh only 175lbs so I can't imagine why this seat should look like this. Any other issues out there?

Looks identical to mine, I have a little more creasing on the lower seat bolsters as well. Terrible quality leather. My Lexus GS never looked this bad after three years let alone a few months.
Can you post a picture of the driver seat? Is it black interior? What trim F-pace do you have?
So, whats been discussed on here before in little detail is that their is an obvious difference between the 'foe' leather and the real leather, what that difference is and how it contributes to wear and tear is unknown, but people with the real leather have a ton more complaints about creasing than those with the foe-leather material
Picture doesn't really do it justice. You can see the bubbling and the creasing on the outside bolster. Much worse in person now that I look at the picture.
From the picture it looks like your drivers seat is similar to mine; bubbling on the center seat cushion and minor to intermediate creasing on the outside bolster in particular. Im not happy with the amount of wear on mine so I wasn't sure if the picture is making it look worse?
The FE uses higher grade leather than that found in the lower trims.
Totally agree, Lexus knows what they are doing when it comes to interior fit and finish. I personally think they do the best interior in the luxury market (excluding high end brands like Bentley and Rolls Royce of course). They are not the most technologically advanced but boy are their interiors pure comfort. Jaguar should really take a note from Lexus book when updating their interiors.
At least the Germans and Japanese aren't talked about for having used shi**y materials in their cars. If you were to buy a 60 thousand dollar car from any German, Korean or Japanese competitor you would not find the horribly cheap materials you find in the pace. I think its better to not be mentioned then to be mentioned in this case. And I have been an in XF and XE; same materials used across the board (haven't been in an XJ so can't comment).What's that saying again...there's no accounting for taste?...and preference is indeed personal. The problem for me with with the German makes is that all of their cars and interiors, with few exceptions, are soulless...technical marvels and nice materials...but utterly devoid of passion. Same with the Japanese makes. How many Lexus interiors apart from those of current models, are talked about or remembered? They don't come up in any car talks I engage in. And how many Jags other than an F-Pace have you actually spent time in? My guess is probably very few. Nobody does wood and leather better than the British. And one never grows tired of these classic interiors with personality plus. Jag's recent switch to these modern minimalist but classy interiors is a real pendulum swing for them. I think the new F-Pace interior, at least on the FE I own, is special...as do most of us FP owners. But materials and finishes are not top drawer everywhere the eye looks. And they do not hold a candle to the extraordinary interiors of it's stablemate and big brother the XJL. That is an interior design that is hard to beat in terms of making you feel really special every time you get in and turn the key.
IMHO >
I love Jaguars design and I LOVE my F-pace, but its hard to deny Jag went cheap on everything belt-line down. When I said Lexus does the best interior in the luxury market I was referring to materials only, I wish Jaguar and Lexus would collaborate on interiors haha.
I said 60k... so Im referring to GLE, RX, X5. E-class, GS, 5 series. Of course on the cheaper models you are going to have cheaper materials, and from what I've read the C-class leather issues is a one off for MB. Anyway I originally was talking about Lexus and I still believe the materials in their cars are top notch. Whether you like the technology, or you think its boring has nothing to do with how great the materials are.
My only hope would be if the Leather issues persist my dealer would be willing to work with me on a fix, they have been great so far so I don't see it as a gigantic issue.
Unfortunately, there isn't much that can be done. My driver's seat looks identical to yours. Strangely enough, only the outside bolster looks like this. My ass is not large, I am a big guy at over 6 feet and 200 pounds but by no means 'fat' and by no means a 'fat ass' lol.
Brought it up to my service manager and he said because of the driver's seats, especially in the S, are designed to hug the driver the bolsters are more likely to get these creases. Some drivers seats are more plush and flat to the cushion, these have huge thigh bolsters to hold you during tight turns so I guess it makes sense. Still annoying to look at though.
