If they are real leather, be sure and use a conditioner to keep them soft and subtle.
Your seats look good in the photo.

Lexol or Leatherique seems to be the go to products for most. But also check out Leather Honey Conditioner. Topic is almost like "which oil to use?" as lots of options on the topic.

Since seats are new you won't need to clean them this time but you will want to regularly clean and "feed" the leather. A must to keep them looking sweet.

Seats look just magnificent btw.

I use Leatherique to clean, and their rejuvenator/conditioner to soften them and help avoid cracks. The process is time consuming and a bit of a PIA, but it has worked well.

I have mbtex. The rest of the fleet gets the Legol cleaner and conditioner as needed. LOML slides out of her car to the ground. Truck seats are light leather. She wears jeans . I clean that blue off the seats the most.

Excellent color choice, like a good baseball glove. I have great results with Meguiars leather cleaner. Did you stretch it yourself? Your butt is now properly pampered. Oh, by the way, get in the habit of putting the seats forward when parking in the sun; they will stay cool and the leather will not dry out like the hide you had to remove.
