Is it worth dropping the extra cash for the official Jaguar branded rubber floor mats or should I just grab a set of WeatherTechs for my F-PACE? I just picked up a 2021 model last week and the interior is pristine but with the rainy season hitting Seattle hard I need something durable like yesterday. My budget for interior upgrades is around 400 bucks total since I still need to get some cargo protection for the trunk too.
Im kind of torn between:
I really need to get this sorted by Friday because I have a road trip planned and I dont want to ruin the carpets with all the mud from my hiking boots. The Jag floor is kinda weirdly shaped too so Im worried about gaps with the cheaper stuff. Which one holds up better over time? Has anyone here actually tried the TuxMats in a newer F-PACE? Im leaning toward the OEM ones for the logo but maybe thats just me being vain and wasting money...
To add to the point above: the TuxMats are solid, but if you want something that covers every inch of the carpet for those muddy hikes, they are definitely the way to go. I have used TuxMat Jaguar F-PACE Custom Fit Floor Mats in my own SUV and the coverage up the sides is unmatched. They feel more premium than that stiff plastic in the WeatherTech FloorLiner 441321 DigitalFit mats, honestly. Since you have 400 bucks to spend, grab the full set of TuxMats and check out Jaguar Cargo Liner F-PACE OEM for the trunk. The OEM cargo tray is actually worth it because it is shaped perfectly to fit the F-PACE boot without wasting space. Don't worry about the logo on the mats, you will be too busy keeping your floors clean to notice.
Honestly skip the OEM Jaguar mats. They look nice but the coverage is lacking for the Seattle rain. I had a set of WeatherTech FloorLiner 441321 and the rigid plastic feel was annoying. Unfortunately they dont cover the side trim well. Go with TuxMat Jaguar F-PACE Custom Fit instead. They offer way better full-coverage protection and the material feels premium rather than cheap plastic. You wont regret it for those muddy hiking boots.
Honestly, if you are looking to save some cash for that cargo liner without sacrificing protection, I would suggest looking at 3D MAXpider Kagu Floor Mats Jaguar F-PACE. They actually look way more premium than the hard plastic WeatherTechs and hold up great in wet weather. I have been using them for a while now and am super happy with how they handle mud and spills.
Just saw this thread. Honestly, stay away from the hard plastic stuff if you actually hike. It gets slippery when wet which is a safety hazard for your pedals.
