Respectfully, I'd consider another option before you drop $300+ on the boutique brands. Tbh, while TuxMat looks fancy, it can be a literal nightmare to clean once dried mud gets into those deep texture grooves. I’ve had a different experience using high-quality TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) liners that provide the same edge-to-edge protection without the "premium" tax.

Option A: Smartliner Custom Fit Floor Mats for Kia EV9 6-Passenger – Pros: super rugged, easy to hose off, and way cheaper. Cons: looks a bit more "industrial."
Option B: 3D MAXpider Kagu Series Floor Liners for Kia EV9 – Pros: best fitment around the seat tracks, doesn't bunch up, looks sleek. Cons: middle-of-the-road pricing.

I’d actually suggest the BestEvMod TPE Floor Mats for Kia EV9 if you're strictly budget-conscious. They're basically 95% of the quality for way less cash. When you're dealing with spilled juice, you want something you can literally rip out and spray down in 2 minutes flat. Anyway, hope that helps ur decision! 👍

yo, congrats on the new EV9! I totally get the anxiety with kids and that flat floor—it’s basically a magnet for crumbs and mud lol. I’ve tried a few setups over the years and for the EV9, I definitely recommend going aftermarket for that total coverage ur looking for.

Here’s my breakdown:

1. TuxMat All-Weather Floor Mats for Kia EV9 6-Passenger - These are hands down the winner. The coverage is *insane*—they go way up the sides so no sand or juice actually hits the carpet. Plus, they look super premium and match the modern interior way better than basic rubber mats, right?
2. WeatherTech FloorLiner for Kia EV9 - These are super durable and easy to hose off, but they feel a bit industrial for such a nice cabin. In my experience, they can sometimes leave small gaps near the seat tracks where salt settles.

Honestly, if u want that edge-to-edge protection for the captain's chairs and the pass-through, TuxMat is the way to go. They dont bunch up at all. GL with the rainy season! 👍

I'd actually suggest a different approach—though I agree factory carpets are useless with kids. In my experience, high-walled liners might actually jam the EV9’s sliding console tracks if they shift even a little bit.

* Use flexible TPE instead of rigid plastic
* Get a multi-piece 2nd row set for better track clearance

Technical fit matters way more than looks, tbh. Peace!

Did this last week, worked perfectly

Just caught this thread and man, I totally feel your pain with the kids and that flat floor! Ive been a Kia guy for a decade and every new model presents a new DIY challenge for me. Like someone mentioned, that sliding console is a total nightmare if the mat is too thick or stiff. I actually spent my Saturday testing a few sets in my neighbors EV9 and here is what I found.

• Lasfit All-Weather Floor Mats for Kia EV9: Honestly, these are amazing! The TPE material is way softer than the old-school stiff ones, so they dont have that cheap plastic feel. They fit the seat tracks perfectly and didnt bunch up once when we moved the 2nd row captain chairs back and forth. Love the texture too.
• BestEvMod All-Weather Floor Mats for Kia EV9: These were a surprise hit for me. Theyre specifically designed for EVs and the coverage in the 3rd row pass-through is fantastic. They have this really aggressive backing that keeps them from sliding an inch, which is huge when you have kids jumping in and out of the back. Personally, Im leaning toward the Lasfit ones just because the cleanup is so easy... basically just spray and wipe. Both are fantastic alternatives to the more expensive brands tho!
