Telluride Upgrades

[Rlow850]

@pheen , thank you for the pictures. Do these cover the isle / gap between the captains chairs? By the looks of the 'hump' in the second row, it doesn't look like they cover. Also, taking a look at 2020 Kia Telluride All Weather Floor Mats (AA014), it doesn't look like they do. @alexdrums , I do agree with you, but coverage on the gap between the seats for the kid is one of the main reasons I'm questioning getting these. I was sold on them until I saw @BabyRide's comment.



I looked at these Husky liners, but it's the same thing there. And at this cost, I'd rather stick with the OEMs.

So the debate is seemingly becoming between these two options;
WeatherTech - 2020 Kia Telluride | Floor Mats - Laser measured floor mats for a perfect fit | WeatherTech


Smartliner - SMARTLINER Custom Fit for 2020 Kia Telluride with 2nd Row Bucket Seat No Center Console with in between Coverage
This seems like the best option for price point and bang for the buck. Provides third row and isle coverage as well as two cargo mats for standard or extended trunk space. But I don't know what the quality of these are or the feel.

We have smartliner in the used SXP we bought today. They seem great. I’m a weathertech guy for my trucks and can’t tell any noticeable difference. My only gripe is I wish the cargo liner had a fold in it for times the third row is up

@Rlow850 , I saw that you bought one today. Congratulations! Seems like a great deal.

there seems to be 2 cargo mats that you can buy; second row and third row. I’ve seen the ones with a fold or ones that roll but I’m not sure how those compare with these.

are the smartliner’s as rigid as weather tech or a little softer? Do they fit well in the car

Thanks, it was definitely a unicorn find!

I’d say not quite as rigid as the weathertech liners I have in my Tacoma but still rigid enough. They seem to fit very well and I like the coverage between the captains chair in the second row

I have the OEM ones because that’s all that was available and it’s not fun vacuuming the space between the captains chairs. To do it over I would have waited and gone with the SmartLiners. If you check eBay you can get the fronts and the rear minus the cargo area for $165. SMARTLINER Floor Mats Liner 3 Rows Set Black for 2020 Kia Telluride Bucket Seats | eBay That’s basically better than the OEM (which also does not include the cargo area mat) for $100 less and you get something to cover between the captains chairs.

How are the Smartliners holding up to those who have them? Read a couple reviews online that said they don't clean up well and/or scratch. Worst case scenario I'd just hit them with armor all or something if they begin to wear faster than usual. Im not expecting the same quality as higher priced brands going in, just curious. As long as they protect the carpet. Thanks
