Driver seat swap

[G80sportowner]

I have a 18 G80 Sport and I love everything about this car except its bucket seats. I have back issues and the seats just make me uncomfortable.

I recently got a G70 loaner with normal seats and noticed a comfort difference so it got me thinking…

The 2018-20 had a Ultimate trim with more plush looking seats, does anyone know if I could swap out the Sport trim seats with the Ulitimate trim seats? They both are heated/cooled and have the thigh extender.

This is my first post here so thanks in advance.

I've been wondering the same thing. I've got a 2019 G70, and the loaner I've had for 3 weeks is also a G70 w/ the exact same seat (color, leather, pattern) but much more comfortable on my butt (thanks chronic sciatica). The foam is 'squishier'.

I asked the dealer of a potential swap, but they said it'd cost $10k as the wiring is different. It's the EXACT same seat and the G70 has barely been changed in its 6 years. Anyone know if it really is? Or if the dealer is just trying to not bother? From my experience w/ other brands, seat swaps are generally straightforward if it's the same brand and model.

Back issues suck.

In any case, it won't be cheap. I'd check with an auto upholstery shop and see if they can help with an insert in the existing seat.
