We own a 2005 Hyundai Sonata (Leather Seats) these seats are ok on short trips (maybe 150 mi max) and are looking at a 2006 Hyundai Azera (Leather Seats same Color) both have the air bags on sides of passenger and driver seats.
Will these seats exchange, same hook-ups etc? only additional item that the Azera seat may have is heat, but they are MUCH plusher.
Hopefully will keep us from acquiring saddle sores on long trips.

Honestly, I'm not sure why people prefer leather seats over cloth. Sure, they look real nice at first. But out of every car I ever test-drove, the cloth seats were by far and away much softer and plusher than the leather. I drove a 1991 Cadillac Sedan DeVille for 8 years and yes - my driver's seat was like sitting in a La-Z-Boy - it was second-to-none. But even after treating the leather seats properly, all they did in the end was get cracked and torn up, sun-damaged, some of the threading came apart, etc. I thought the leather seats were a big pain in the a$$, therefore, I choose to not have leather seats again.

When I bought my used 2007 Sonata, one of the reasons I chose a white one over an available maroon and silver one, was because even with only 16,000 miles on it, the cloth driver's seat was so soft and broken in beautifully. It feels like my Cadillac all over again, minus the leather. That Caddy spoiled me, as far as seat comfort went, but this cloth one in my Sonata is very, very close. I can't speak for everyone else, but it seems like every leather seat I sit on in a new or somewhat new car, feels like sitting on concrete. Leather takes WAY longer to break in and get plush, compared to cloth. No more leather seats for me.
