Default Alcantara Leather?

In that book I got it lists a "Commemorative Edition" note. But above that it mentions that the leather used was in fact Alcantara. Now, in the model guide of AW they mention "Kodiak" leather, is that the same as Alcantara? Im not familiar with either, but have heard Alcantara more often in the 5k forum.
If I read it right, the leather seats in my car are Alcantara Leather, right?
TIA

Mike

It's polyester that's made to look and feel like suede.
