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.
 
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?
 
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. 😉

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.

Thanks. The set I bought that (by dumb luck) fits my HEV looks like this. (Note that rear left and right are swapped in the photo)

The Kia Sportage Hev GT Line Velor Floor Mats I bought look very different from the example you shared and I am confused in this situation. My order has not arrived yet, I wonder if I bought the wrong product.

They look like they are for a left hand drive, the GT-Line should be on the outside edge.

Those are the same ones I have ordered, the photo anyway. I received the RHD version with part number CJ143ADE10GL (GT line HEV) . As mr.macspot points out the image is of the left hand drive but when received I got them for right hand drive.

CJ143ADE10GL is GT line HEV
R2143ADE10GL is GT line ICE

Lots of sites seem to list both with identical photos, so don't know the difference. Example Kia Sportage 2022-Present GT-Line Carpet Mats - Kia Parts Direct

I think these images are used only for promotional purposes because the place where I ordered the products is a company that sells in England, I guess they probably know that there are Right-Hand drive vehicles :D:D
