ASTON MARTIN VANTAGE AM6 2018-2025 Leather interior seats

For the Aston Martin Vantage (AM6), the interior represents a major shift in design and quality across its production run. There are two distinct “eras” for these seats: the Original (2018–2024) and the Facelift (2025+).

1. Original Era (2018–2024)

During this period, the interior focused on a “predatory” and sporty aesthetic, heavily featuring Alcantara alongside leather.

• Standard Sports Seats: These feature heavy bolsters and were often trimmed in a mix of Strathmore leather and Alcantara.

• Sports Plus Seats (Optional): The most common upgrade, providing more aggressive lateral support for high-speed cornering. These usually included 16-way electrical adjustment and heating.

• Materials: Most cars used Bridge of Weir leather (sourced from Scotland). You could choose between Monotone (one color) or Duotone (two-tone) “Environments”:

  • Create: A focused, simpler look.

  • Accelerate: High-contrast, often with Alcantara inserts for better grip.

  • Inspire: The most luxurious, featuring intricate stitching and perforation patterns.

2. Facelift Era (2025–Present)

The 2025 model (introduced in 2024) received a “ultra-luxury” overhaul. The cabin is now nearly identical in quality to the DB12.

• Redesigned Ergonomics: The seats have been reshaped for better long-distance comfort while maintaining a “lower hip point” to keep you connected to the road.

• New Leather Patterns: There is a move toward more traditional, hand-stitched leather. The “Bridge of Weir” hide is standard, often featuring a new “quilted” or “hand-perforated” finish that looks more “couture” than the previous versions.

• Performance Seats (Carbon Fiber): Available as a lightweight option, these use a carbon fiber shell to shave weight (approx. 17kg/37lbs) while being surprisingly well-padded for daily use.

Care & Maintenance Tip

If your seat set features Alcantara (the suede-like material), it requires different care than the leather.

• Leather: Use a pH-neutral cleaner and a conditioner once every 6 months to prevent the Bridge of Weir hide from drying out.

• Alcantara: Never use leather conditioner on these sections. Use a dedicated Alcantara cleaner and a soft brush to “fluff” the fibers back up, otherwise they will become “matted” and shiny from the oils on your clothes/skin.
