Car interiors take a beating. Muddy boots, wet shoes, crumbs, and daily wear slowly turn even the plushest cabin into something tired and scruffy. That’s where custom-fit mats from Car Mat Garage come in, and we’ve had the chance to try their Prestige and Ultra lines in two high-end vehicles: a 2016 Bentley Continental GT and a 2019 Jaguar I-Pace.
Why Car Mats Actually Matter
Let’s be real, standard mats, especially universal ones, rarely do your car justice. They shift underfoot, leave gaps for grime, and wear out fast. The mats we tested are precision-cut to fit the floorpan of each car exactly, down to the placement of the clips. This means:
- No bunching up under pedals
- Edge-to-edge coverage
- An OEM-plus look and feel
And considering how cost-effective they are (starting at just £20.99), it’s a no-brainer for any car owner looking to refresh their interior.
Prestige vs Ultra: Which is Best for You?
Prestige Mats
£54.99 (for Bentley)
- Anti-slip rubber backing
- Soft, plush surface
- Choice of coloured trims
- Easy to clean, dries fast
These are perfect for daily drivers or owners who like luxury, but still want practicality. They don’t feel overdone, just right.
Ultra Mats
£94.99
- Heavier, deeper pile
- Ultimate in comfort
- Best for show cars or enthusiasts who want that “wow” factor when stepping in
We used Ultra mats in the Jaguar I-Pace, and they elevated the minimalist EV cabin instantly. The deeper fibres help trap more dirt too, keeping the rest of the car cleaner.
In-Car Fitment & Finish
Just look at the photos, installation is simple, but the result looks anything but. The mats clip in securely and don’t budge. The stitching is clean and consistent, and the fit is so precise you’d swear it was OEM (only better).
Small Detail, Big Impact
What we really like is how much cleaner and newer the cabin feels just from this small change. Tired, dirty mats make even a luxury car feel second-rate. These new ones?
- Eliminate bad smells caused by old damp fibres
- Catch grime before it hits your carpet
- Are easy to remove and shake out or vacuum
And with the trim colour customisation, you can make the mats stand out, or blend in, depending on your taste.
Final Verdict
If your car’s interior is looking a bit past its prime, or if you simply want to elevate it without breaking the bank, Car Mat Garage’s Prestige and Ultra lines are a top-tier upgrade. Thoughtful design, UK-built quality, and genuine practicality rolled into one smart product.
For most people, the Prestige range will be ideal. But if you want that luxury lounge feel every time you hop in your car? Go Ultra.
