Default From an avant.......

The buffalino Swift leather matches our normal leather seating pretty closely, but does not match the S6 leather. It includes door panels with shades.

If it were black nappa I'd buy it......

Default I am 99% sure the seats would still fit the sedan...

the anchor points for the bottom of the seatbacks where the seats hinge (60/40 split seats) are the same, and the anchor points for the locking mechansim for the folding seats are the same.

The hatshelf on the sedan offers nothing extra for the rear seats other than being a fixed cover for the trunk area.

Does anyone have any more info???

Here are is a pic for comparison from my recent rear seat swap...

and the recaro seats:

Default Rear airbags?

IIRC avant rear seats have airbags in side bolsters while in sedan the are in the roof/c-pillar.

Rear airbags for the sedan (if so equipped) are in the side bolsters in the sedan.
