Hello,

Just received my Titan LE the other day here in Tacoma, Wa and love it! I have a question, what does appointed leather mean? I tried finding the answer on google but that did not help. I have heard the term before but never inquired as to what it means.

Thanks for taking the time to read/respond

Thats pretty simple, maybe thats why I could not find the definition. Makes me laugh cause where else would they put it!

Thanks again

John

It means that Nissan is using leather in only the appointed areas it would like.  Meaning that the Titan leather interior is probably leather seating surfaces. Although you should probably check because some manufacturers are moving towards leather inserts only.  Matching vinyl is used on the sides and backs of these seats.  You will notice that most the manufacturers use terms like "leather appointed", "leather trimmed", and "leather seating areas".  These terms are used so that people cant say "I thought it was 100% leather.".  There are only a few manufacturers in the world today that use 100% leather seats.  Most of these are high end cars, but it doesnt mean that all the high end cars have 100% leather for either.  Lexus is one of the lower end manufacturers that uses something close to 100% leather.  Infiniti might also, I am not sure.  Acura definitely does not.  Even the Acura "Supercar", the NSX has vinyl backs.  Anyways... theres some info on why they use the term "leather appointed".
