That's interesting, I didn't know that they even made cloth seats for these cars.

Provided they're from a RWD, they should bolt in fine.

In the US, leather is standard. In most other markets, it isn't.

It depends on the year/model. On earlier Canadian cars the door panels were cloth, I think 09+ they switched to leather.

My 2011 has microfibre seats (an Italian material called Cellensia) with leather door panels. I really wanted the cloth seats when I ordered the car, though I would really like the European versions with heated/powered versions of the seats.

You can see my seats a bit in the pictures I took when I was replacing my windshield.

The updated microfidre seats are much better than the previous cloth seats, and the leather seat. They are not hot as leather seats in summer and not cold in the winter. Aslo you don't slide arounf when taking corners fast.
