Let me start by saying these mats are a lifesaver for my messy coffee-and-dog-hair-filled lifestyle. After waiting months for OEM mats (which cost twice as much), I took a chance on these – and wow, what a steal!
The Good: The TPE material feels surprisingly premium – like WeatherTech’s younger, more affordable sibling. Spilled an entire iced latte? No panic. Just wipe it up with a napkin, and it’s like it never happened. The raised edges actually WORK (unlike some flimsy mats I’ve tried). Mud from hiking trips? Contained. Dog hair? Trapped. The non-slip design is genius – no more sliding mats getting stuck under my pedals.
The ‘Meh’: As others noted, the driver’s side mat could extend just a bit higher near the footrest (about 2 inches of exposed carpet there). The trunk liner took 2 days to fully flatten out – minor annoyance, but common with TPE mats. Also, if you have a NIRO EV/PHEV – double-check compatibility! These are hybrid-only.
Pro Tip: For the price difference ($300+ savings over OEM!), I can overlook small quirks. They’re not ‘luxury,’ but they’re functional as hell. Perfect for parents, pet owners, or anyone who treats their car like a second home (guilty as charged).
Final Verdict: 4.5/5 stars – loses half a star for the trunk corners not covering 100%. But would absolutely buy again!
