BMW SensaTec:
A Smart Alternative to Leather

BMW is committed to providing more environmentally-friendly options with their vehicles, which is why our BMW dealership near Ashburn, VA, is working to add BMW models with BMW SensaTec upholstery, to our inventory. BMW SensaTec is an animal-free leather option that also provides an added layer of convenience thanks to its resistance to stains. Switching to more BMW leatherette alternatives helps reduce the number of animals and humans that are harmed during the acquisition and tanning of leathers.

What Are the Benefits of BMW SensaTec?

BMW SensaTec is a leather alternative that is easy-to-clean and maintain while providing superior durability at comparable levels of luxury as genuine leather upholstery. While premium genuine leather (think Nappa leather, for instance) is often softer and more supple than standard leather or BMW SensaTec, SensaTec is preferable due to its environmental benefits. For luxury-minded vegans who choose not to purchase leather goods, SensaTec is a fantastic upholstery option. 

The BMW SensaTec animal-free leather seats have been enhanced to be of the highest grade and quality to date, giving you a BMW leather alternative that may even exceed animal-derived materials. Whether you're hoping to equip your new BMW 3 Series interior or X3 model with BMW SensaTec, you'll have more options than ever before when buying your vehicle at BMW of Sterling. We're adding more and more high-end BMW vehicles with SensaTec, too, expanding the selection pool for drivers who want a synthetic leather alternative. BMW SensaTec offers:

  • Durable performance in any weather
  • Easy-to-clean and maintain  
  • Reduces methane associated with raising livestock for leather, and thus, greenhouse gas emissions, making it better for the environment
  • Luxury look and feel — you won’t know the difference!
