As a general guide, leather with a smooth, matte finish is clean leather.
Having said that, it will come down to the type of leather and what it's been coated with at the factory. Some leathers are just more shiny than others.
This is my father's Ranger Wildtrack. Top section is uncleaned, bottom is cleaned with Colour Lock Strong Leather Cleaner and a leather brush -
Once cleaned and coated with Colour Lock Leather Protector, these naturally have a slight sheen to them, although the pic does accentuate the sheen -
Compared to my Falcon, these have a more naturally matte finish. Cleaned with NV Cleanse a leather brush, topped with NV Nourish.
I can also vouch for those "ninja" scrub brushes, also look at the VLB from The Rag Company.
This is the Carpro InnerScrub version -

One that size will definitely be good for all interior.

The concept is similar, but the VLB is much finer and with shorter fibers compared to the InnerScrub/Ninja.

Looks good! I like to use the Blackfire Leather Complete with the Speed Master Interior Scrub Brush or Cobra Interior Mitt.

Never use inner scrub but ninja is very affective. I feel like glove would be good for large areas.
I clean my whole interior with those sponges. The VLB and speed master posted are specifically for vinyl and leather so those probably better for seats?
Scrub ninjas also come in a mitt. If I had a bigger car or SUV I would probably have all 3
As it is now I use the I use the scrub ninja for interior panels and just leather honey and MF for semi Aniline leather seats

I would buy the one you will prefer to use, as in mitt or pad. Both are made from similar materials.
I don't like mitts in general, wash media included. So I actually prefer to use the pad version.
One of these with Express works so well -
