Front seats are leather, not sure if the back seats are real leather or a man made leather of some sort.

The seating surfaces are leather - front and back. The back and sides of the front seats are not. The door inlays and center armrest, i dont know. i think they're real leather. Look and feel the differnce between the seat area leather and the side where the seat latch is. and then compare it to the door cards/armrest.

And now I'm reading and re-reading every word in your sentence

Back on topic...it's leather. And everyone will recommend you clean with Lexol cleaner and conditioner. Pricey, but worth it
