No, ulstup, the lay of the leather is the same on both seats I think it is just the different angles the photos are taken from that gives you that impression, the only obvious difference is the extra row of stiching. I will see if it wears any better in due course.

It may have been abrasion but there must be a problem with the quality of the leather/finish. I had done a comparitively low milage when the problem occurred, my previous series 1 XC90 had over 55,000 on it and the leather looked almost new.
