I bought a Prius in 2014, and they offered leather seats as an option,
done by a local upholstery shop. I don't know if they bought those
slip-on leather seat covers or re-upholstered them.

I was in a hurry to get the car, because California was discontinuing
the HOV sticker program. I had to buy what they had on the lot. I got
the cloth seats and told myself I'd replace them with leather if/when
they got stained.

I gave the interior a goood coating of Scotchgard and water and stains
still blot out with a damp cloth, 9 years later.
