    I am trying to find out if any of the new Prius come with ventilated seats.

    I had them in a Rav4 hybrid and they were great !

    Thanks

    OK, so what is the best solution ?
    I have the Softex material in my 2022 limited
    and the back of the seats gets sweaty during the
    summertime.

    I am open to any ideas.

    Thanks

    I see you're in Arkansas; I feel your pain. ;)

    Aftermarket 12v plug-in seat covers work well. Better than expected for the price. We have air-cooled seats in our Sienna to compare and the aftermarket solutions move more air (and are louder) but the air isn't as cool (ambient cabin air) as a dedicated factory design.

    I prefer the large computer fan design that sits between the knees while my wife liked the small multi-fan design that resides within the seat bottom/back. The basic hi/lo controllers are cheap but can be easily replaced when they fail.

    Example on Amazon:

    i use one of those wooden bead seat covers, and have with every vehicle i've ever driven. the beads provide enough air circulation to keep your backside from getting sweaty. ~$30 at the auto parts store.
