I once had a Peugeot with "sport leather seats", or something - it was a rather nice coarse woven cloth in some synthetic material in the centre, and nice leather everywhere else. Awesome.

In my current car, I really wanted the adaptive cruise control, but opted out because of the mandatory leather seats in that trim.

It's not Alcantara, it is combination of cloth and leather, with leather on the sides and cloth in the center.

My current car has it, it is great. It was also option named sport seats.
