Hello and welcome to the forum. Car mats are not standard, you either buy a set or persuade the dealer to include a set as part of the deal. I managed to get mine for free as part of the deal, but it doesn't always work that way. No a fire extinguisher or first aid kit are not in the car.

 

My experience was the same.

 

Thank you very much for all your answers.

 

Just got a GT line. No mats or any of the other stuff.

Went to

UK Manufactured Car Mats From £9.99

got a new cut set for £28. Look great.

 

Thank you.

 

Get 10% off the price of the car, then you can buy them yourself, thats what I did

 

Good advice. Thank you.

 

No mats with mine, which I grumbled about at the time, but on a recent visit to the dealer about the 212/226 fiasco my sales guy asked if I still wanted a set. I declined with thanks, having bought a set of used but decent Kia mats, but said that a boot liner would be handy. To his credit he's ordered me one as a freebie due to the "wrong-spec-car-supplied" issue, even though the dealer is completely blameless in the event. I had an unused Nissan safety kit from my 2015 CashCow, with dayglo vests, space blankets, first-aid kit and warning triangle, so that's gone under the boot floor. No fire extinguisher - if it burns, it burns, baby.

Manufacturers are getting more and more frugal with this sort of kit - a spare wheel used to be pretty much a standard inclusion - but then again we get so many extra features now, like auto lights and wipers, sensors and reversing cam, a zillion safety systems etc.

 

Unfortunately, since I was only focusing on the delivery date of the car, I missed some opportunities that could have been giveaways. I have a summer holiday in Greece and I bought the ship ticket from Italy :

 

I bought a set from Car mats UK. Colour matched, perfect fit, better quality than Kia and less than 1/2 the Kia price as I recall.

 

I'm thinking of buying velvet Car mats with the GT-line S logo, which are more affordable on some sites.

 

I've always got new kia mats with my dealer..the new Proceed has Xceed mats as they'd ran out 🤣🤣

 

You're lucky.

 

For what they cost the dealer they should be thrown in as part of the purchase. I was grumbling at the price of the monthly payments at time of order so the dealer principal said if I throw in mats, a boor liner and f/r dash cams would I go with them. Of course, I said. Mats are probably like £40 at cost price.

 

In my opinion, since Kia, as a brand has been in great demand lately, Kia dealers do not compromise on gifts in any way. In previous times, sales staff of Kia dealers were fighting hard to sell a vehicle, but now, they are not even struggling to give an update on the delivery date.

 

When you go through carwow quite often floor mats is a perk. It was for me and my Sportage

 

It is never acceptable for a model vehicle that claims to be an upper segment, such as the Kia Sportage, to not have a floor mat set.

 

“Upper segment”? What does that mean?

 

According to my economic situation, Kia Sportage is an upper-segment model for me. I respect everyone's opinion, but I reflected my own opinion in the comment. It is unacceptable that a vehicle costing approximately £43,000 does not have a floor mat set. Maybe different model vehicles may be the upper segment for you, cheaper vehicles may be the upper segment for some, I think this is entirely related to people's economic situation and the vehicle model they can buy by combining their dreams, otherwise, I do not intend to start a discussion here. Thank you.

 

Whatever. Kia is run of the mill to most I would suggest but YMMV.

 

Here in Sweden the gray carpet is standard and if you ask you will get a set of "rubber" winter mats.

 

It seems to vary quite a bit worldwide. I've seen videos from European countries where they get mats, leather document wallet, safety kit (first aid, triangle etc)... in the US it appears they get a rubber boot liner, but the retractable cargo cover is an extra!

 

Whilst I endure the never ending wait for my car to roll off the production line in Slovakia I have e got my mats and mudguards already (so about 1% of the car 😁). It's not worth haggling on mats in my opinion, focus on the discount and free servicing deals.

Make sure to get the right ones as there are different mats for 2 and 3 / GT line/s and GT line Hev and 2/3 Hev too.

 

What are the differences in the mats? I bought mine pre-owned, judging their fit by the photo. They appear to fit as expected on my HEV.

I usually buy mudguards but I never got around to fitting the set I bought for the Peugeot 3008 and the vehicle never looked as if it had needed them. Has anyone else fitted them to the Sportage?

 

There are two pairs of different part numbers and do seem to be different. From what I can tell I think the mats that go next to the back seats are different. However there is no good photos of both sets online, so can't be sure.

 

It’s totally bonkers to have to pay for mats. I never have and never will. The dealers usually throw them in but I guess it’s down to the dealer. But for what they cost at cost - probably no more than £40 - they should just come with the car.

 

I said the same when I got the car - it's about 0.1% of the price of a £40k vehicle! But hey, the dealer gave me a total of 20psi of extra air in my tyres, so I came out ahead in the end. 😉

 

I can’t be arsed arguing the toss. I’ve been buying from Car Mats UK for years. Half the price, better quality and you get a choice of colour for the edges. They’ve always fitted perfectly too.

 

I just ordered a Velour car floor mat set with GT-Line written on it, I couldn't wait any longer
