    Hi , I have a 2017 Prius One with cloth seats non heated. I want to swap then out with a 2016 Prius Prime leather seats non heated. Are these two seats compatible with each other? Thank you

    Investigate using a 3rd party leather seat. We did it in my spouses Subaru and it came out great for about $1500.

    Not sure if you have your years correct. The Prius Prime came out in 2017. Prime seats are Softex (faux leather). The seats are also heated. All 2017 Prime have heated seats softex or cloth covered.

    There is no such thing in the US. They have Softex artificial leather seats. I think the PHV in the UK had real leather seats.

    You are right it’s Softex. I actually switched my 2017 Prius one seats to 2019 Prius softex seats. They worked but a word of caution. I believe any removal of the front passenger seats triggers an air bag light even with the battery removed. Now I have to go to the dealer for reset/ recalibration of airbag costing additional $210
