apersson850 is correct

You can only add/remove features that Volvo intended to be added or removed
And I've never seen electrict seats as one of them

HOWEVER some features are not so intelligent and can thus be fitted.

In my MY2009 XC90 the passenger seat is electric, and it has no intelligence whatsoever.
It is literally power and switches and motors

The driver's set has seat memory, which listens to the CAN bus to determine if it should use memory position 1, 2 or 2 when key 1 or key 2 is used.

The seat memory controll module is on the seat itself, and again just needs power and CAN bus. It MAY be simple and just listen for existing messages. Or it may be intelligent and actively talk to the car. I do not know

Of course, that is my car. Your car is a different generation and may have a lot more seat intelligence in it
