When you say suede, do you mean Alcantara leather; the rough stuff? So you have all smooth and you want the rough stuff? Does yours have the HTD/COOLED seats also?
The suede seats are just that - suede. It's def not roughed up leather.

I also like the suede that is the upgrade from cloth in the scat packs, I kind of wish that was the standard for HC's rather than the full leather like it is for GC SRT and Trackhawk.
Not my Seats but are the exact same.

I 100% agree I love the feeling so much

Fun fact: Alcantara is an Italian company brand name. They make simulated suede. Some users of Alcantara call it "Vegan leather." There is no animal components in Alcantara. It's all plant and chemical components.

I for one don't care for it in the Challenger. The Alcantara seats in my 392 really cramped my back/legs (I'm 6'5"). The Laguna has extra bolstering and padding and I don't get uncomfortable at all in it. The Alcantara really isn't to blame though, it's the difference in seat design that affects me. My gripe on Alcantara is that it is near impossible to get greasy stains out. I had a stain on my passenger seat cushion that I, nor a professional upholstery cleaner could get out. I have no idea what it was.

So option wise, there were smooth leather, suede, and Alcantara?
Cloth, Alcantara, Laguna, and Laguna with the Alcantara package which added Alcantara door, steering wheel, and seat trim in Alcantara. My T/A 392 was Laguna/Alcantara. The seat sides and outer trim were Laguna, but the butt cushion, seat back and headrest were Alcantara. After only 2 years, my Alcantara steering wheel had permanent hand grip marks/stains at the 12 o'clock position. I drove manuals for 30 years and even with an A8, I still drive with my left hand on the wheel, right hand on the shifter. Granted, I don't think I ever drove it in automatic mode anyway. Same with the Hellcat.
