In my opinion - the KAGU ones are far better than the OEM ones as they fit like a glove and do not move around - ever. It's almost like the entire underside is covered in a sort of mild velcro and grabs the carpet. Still easy to remove, but they do not slide around.

I think the carpet ones take it one step further and give the sounds deadening and feel of normal velour mats with the all weather protection of the KAGU. About 1-2 times a year I pull them out and simple green them and then power wash them and they look new again. And I hunt in mine, so they see mud covered muck boots and all that occasionally, not just a little snow on my loafers.

The "Elegant" ones looks closest to what I have - and might be the same. I have them in the front and back and then the KAGU liner in the cargo area. So far I have not even considered I should have gotten something else - they have been exactly what I hoped when I got them.

I like the all KAGU set up I had in 2 prior vehicles too, but the carpet ones just took it to another level for me. I'd buy them again at twice the price.
Just ordered the carpeted ones for the front. Thanks so much for your detailed feedback on em. No carpeted currently in stock for the back so I'll probably order Kagu for the rear seats.

EDIT: inventory and pricing is such a moving target these days. I can get a carpeted rear for $68 or a Kagu for $81. But the carpeted is Tan. Almost thinking I'll spend the difference on some black dye...

Yeah - these have always been a little tough to find, but now they are even worse. I swear they could beat weathertech to peices if they had some marketing and inventory partners. I like them so much more.

For a hunt/wood truck - weathertechs are perfect. But for a nice DD SUV that occasioanlly see's some mud/snow - these are the perfect comprimise for me. Looks great and same protection.

I hope they work well for you!

Weathertech's are so ugly lol. The first I heard about these, I saw em in person (kagu) on a Cayenne I test drove and thought they looked really good for a waterproof mat.
