Are V60 and S60 seats interchangeable?

[mcouchard]

Hi all, as above can I replace V60 seats with those from an S60, are the rears the same except for the side bolsters?
Thanks

Okay what about V40 drivers seat is it same size and frame runners etc as V60. As my driver's seat is filthy and has a tear. Lots of V40 ones locally.

So for the European market, the headrests in the V60 are not adjustable but for some reason in the V40, they are. So they are a bit different. Also in R design v40 has less bolstering compared to V60 so even though they might be compatible, they are not the same.

Great thanks, so otherwise a straight swap? I have Rdesign ones at present, bolster is worn on drivers.

The V40 seats would look quite weird to be honest. I suggest going on eBay and looking there. I see a lot of them available in full leather for v60/S60. I also don’t know if it’s a straight swap because if they are not, you have to bear in mind the SIPS tubes inside the seat. I assume Volvo would make it for all cars the same length to cut down on production cost, however if they turn out to be different lengths, then thats a safety issue. I suggest going on UK or German EBay and looking for people who part out V60/S60s.

Also not a huge deal but: in my V60, my seats are part alcantara and part leather and it says R design on the seats. The same seats in the V40 with alcantara and leather, doesn’t. And they are more flatter with less bolstering on all sides. I wouldn’t recommend just swapping over.
