I've read where the 2020 model has a modified seat - I assume that means the hump is moved back a bit since that's the main issue with earlier model seats. Does anyone know if the 2020 will fit any earlier models? If someone has a 2020, I can send measurements for front bolt holes, rear lock lever, length & width to compare .....
Thank you.
Will a 2020 PCX seat fit 2018-2019 models ?

If you mean will the seat from a straight-spoke PCX fit a curve-spoke PCX, highly unlikely, the entire frame and bodywork were changed.
Four decades on two wheels has taught me nothing, all advice given is guaranteed to be wrong

The seat configuration on the 2019/2020 PCX is very similar to the 2017 models except I found it to be softer and where the "hump" would be it is also softer. I sat on one last Winter at a Honda dealer.
The seat height on the 2019 model I sat on is a bit taller than the previous models and I think some of that is due to more padding in the seat. There were frame modifications as well and the rear suspension was move aft a bit. I believe the 2020 models are pretty much a rehash of the 2019 PCXs. Note that the ignition systems vary depending upon what country you live in though. Manual key vs Smart Key etc . . ..
The best way to determine if it would work for you is to just go to a Honda dealer and throw a leg over a PCX and see for yourself. I doubt the seats would be interchangeable but at least it's worth looking into in case they are if it will solve any discomfort issues for you.
I wouldn't call it a "miraculous" improvement but an improvement. Enough so that I would consider getting a PCX again if I had a mind to.

After looking at a pic of my 2017 my gut instinct continues to be that the seats of the pre-2019 models and the 2019 and 2020 models won't be interchangeable. The part numbers are different as well.
Maybe it's me but I detect a bit of a radius on the underside of the 2019 model seat and the 2017 seems more linear to me.
Also the under seat storage areas of the models are different.
That said I'm not sure if the seat hinges are interchangeable either.

My 2017 . . .. Although very similar to the 2019/20 seat it just looks different . . . not to mention the body molding.
