    Does the passenger seat on the 2010 have a height adjustment as well as the driver's side?

    The drivers seat is height adjustable ( 6 way adjustable ) but the passenger seat is not ( 4 way adjustable ). I Just double checked the brochure to be sure. Hope this helps.

    There is no height adjuster on the 2010 passenger seat, only seatback handle. But, Camry's don't have one either.

    What's this "4 way adjustable" ?

    Does that mean 2010 pax seats is able to:
    a) Reclinable seat (unknown)
    b) Slidable back & forth for taller pax (unknown)
    c) collapsible for cargo storage (known)

    a & b matters matters for pax comfort.
    Can anyone confirm on these features in 2010?

    4-way means:

    fore/aft
    recline.

    Each direction is counted as one so going back and forth is 2-way.


    So a 10-way seat could mean:

    fore/aft
    recline
    height
    tilt
    lumbar support


    Other adjustments include:
    seat length
    secondary lumbar support
    seat width adjustment
    seat bolster adjustment

    I'll take a guess at this

    1. Reclines forward
    2. Reclines back.
    3. Slides forward.
    4. Slides back.
    5. Height adjustment up.
    6. Height adjustment down

    and for those vehicles with 8 way adjustment

    7. Seat base angle up.
    8. Seat base angle down.

    Thanks as always for the great info.
    My wife is tall and has long legs. I am of average height but have short legs. So the more adjustments in seats the better for us.
    If they had installed the 6-way in the passenger side, she would be a powerful advocate for getting the 2010 over the 2009...
    Again, thanks.

    My wife and I want to replace our 08 with the new 2010 Prius if we can... I just hope they replace the seats with something a lot more comfy.

    You could always order an Aussie right front seat and install it yourself.
    I have height adjustment on the drivers seat of my 04. :D
