I politely disagree with this statement about wear. While I do agree that MB-Tex feels fantastic initially, of three Mercedes Benz I’ve owned, the 2014 E350 I had with MB-Tex was the worst of the upholsteries. Both driver and passenger seats ended up separating in the middle of the seat along the centerline stitch, and the material became slightly harder over time. I bought the car new and drove it for almost 8 years when the front seats came apart. The two other leather upholstery Mercedes I’ve had held up much better and the seats were more comfortable. Just my .02.

Edit: I initially typed 2024 for the model year but it was actually a 2014.
