Some users have reported that display car seats show "bulging" and "patina." What is the situation?
The display car seats of the Xiaomi SU7 are made of Nappa genuine leather. Genuine leather is a natural material, and a common characteristic of such materials is that prolonged compression can stretch the internal fiber structure. The leather needs to "rest," meaning the fibers slowly return to a tight state after the pressure is removed.
At the beginning of the Xiaomi SU7 launch, store traffic was very high, causing the seat surfaces to undergo long-term, high-intensity compression deformation without sufficient recovery time, leading to slight surface deformation. However, after a period of time, the seat surfaces naturally recover to a tight state. Furthermore, mass-produced Xiaomi SU7 models use high-density composite foam beneath the Nappa genuine leather, which further enhances the rebound performance of the leather.
As for the "patina," this is a colloquial term used by netizens to describe dirt on the leather surface. It resulted from some display car seats experiencing thousands of high-frequency rides per day without timely cleaning. The genuine leather seats of the Xiaomi SU7 are treated with anti-stain agents on the surface. If dirt appears, simply using a dedicated cleaning solution will restore them to like-new condition.
The seat assemblies of the Xiaomi SU7 have undergone rigorous testing. For example, our import/export durability test was performed 25,000 times, far exceeding the industry standard of 15,000 times (QCT 740). Moreover, the seats are covered by the whole-vehicle warranty (for specific warranty details, please refer to the Quality Guarantee Service section in the User Manual). Please use them with confidence.
