• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Yes, love them. Fitment is perfect and they are built to last many many years. I have a set in my truck that are 9yrs old and still look brand new.
 
I have them in the first two rows of my 2021 SX with bench seat. Awesome - perfect fit. Didn't bother with the third row because I will barely use it, so the carpeted mats will be enough there. Also got the Weathertech cargo liner.
Did you just get the cargo WeatherTech liner. Assuming you did not do the “2nd row” that WeatherTech offers which appears to be mostly a liner used when the 3rd row seats are folded down.

Hello - fully disclosing that I do not have my ordered 21’ SX with Pristige/Nightfall and therefore do not have floor mats. However, I did not order the carpeted floor mats from Kia since the price seemed a little over priced for non-all weather floor mats. I have family and old employers that use WeatherTech floor mats and they are great. I am looking forward to getting the 3 row set with the cargo liner. Debating about that “2nd row” cargo liner to fold up the back of the 3rd row seating. I would have to modify by cutting out slits for anchor points and seat straps. Ultimate goal for me is to have protection on the back of the 3rd row seats to avoid ripping the back when lugging gear whether those seats are in the up or down position.
 
I ordered the Weathertech set for my EX with second row buckets because they cover the entire carpet areas. The all weather mats from KIA don’t. I did however get the KIA cargo mat because it folds up with the 3rd row. My Weathertech mats are due to be delivered on Monday so I will see how well I like them.

I'm not even sure what that is.... Basically, just got the first and second rows covered, then the small cargo liner that fits when the third row is up. It's a bit wonky when the third row is down, because that real estate isn't covered, but I got the smaller cargo mat to take my son's snowboard and boots. So long as he puts his mucky stuff there, I'm covered.

That makes sense to me, thanks! The attached photo where the 3rd row is folded down is what I was referring. My understanding is that you have the small cargo liner with the 3rd row seats up. For my family I foresee utilizing the 3rd row down to all extra stuff from time to time so I was just curious on how others have configured their floor mats and seat back protection. Thanks again!

Yup, that's exactly it! I got the small one bc I'm anticipating my kid stuffing the car with snowboarding friends and using that third row for seating (with the 1/3 folded down for boards). That bigger one looks really nice though.
 
I have had Weathertech in three previous vehicles but every one of them seemed to curl on the drivers side because the lip was a little too high and you have a tendency to hit it with your heel as you get in. The side always seemed to bend over and you had to put it upside down with a heavy weights on it to bend it back.

i chose the Husky X-Contour mats for the T. They are a softer rubber and I don’t think they will have the issues I had with the Weathertech

That's interesting. I've had Weathertech in all my previous cars (Hondas) and never had that problem.

I just tried looking up the Husky stuff out of curiosity but it looked like Kia wasn't an option. Obv wasn't looking in the right place!
