Hey guys

Trying to figure out if this floor mats can fit the new 2025 facelift formentor ?


According to the catalogue it is, but it also fits the previous model.
Maybe someone can advise if it's the same size and pattern before I order ?

Thank you :)

Hi,
I don't think the the facelift has been sooo deep that it has modified the bodywork at floor mats location.
I would bet they're the same. If you get the P/N for the FL version, I can compare to ours on our non-FL version. ;)

Ah but did you have to buy them or were they free with the car.

BTW thinking about it. Yes people were buying rubber mats rather than the carpet mat that was free... they didn't have much else to do waiting for the car except buy accessories for it.

Hi,
Yes, the same for us. Textile carpets were included in car price and delivery, whereas rubber mats were to buy as accessories.
Rubber mats, are more ´kids-proof’ and time saving when you need to clean the car. 😁

My rubber mats use to get a hole in them where the heal sits on the peddle so I stuck with the free textile ones. Upgrading them depends on the grub, slush and mud in the area, passengers etc. Thought I'd let them wear out first.

Suspect they stuck with the same dimensions and anchor point. I know the Ateca ones were common to the Tiguan and Golf 7 at the time. Altea ones if you were making your own from universal mats, the carpet scissors would have to come out to fit. It was quite irregular down there least in a DSG. The joy of buying a new car sorting out the mats.

Probably the staff in HQs have fun assembling the accessory catalogue. Like a goody office stationery catalogue. The boot tray verses a non slip rubber mat is another one. Succumbed to the expensive reversible mat after everything was flying about in the boot on the carpet. Didn't see that one coming, a slippery boot carpet, least in the Ateca. People carrying grub like their boot trays.

I’ve found the carpet mats VW (and other VAG brands?) fit in their cars aren’t particularly durable.

I’ve had the OEM factory fit driver’s carpet mat in the VW’s I’ve owned over the years showing noticeable signs of wear after just a few months. I’m a low mileage driver (usually less than 5k miles a year) and I don’t consider I have ‘heavy heels’ to cause excessive wear either. By comparison I’ve found VW’s rubber mats to have very good durability, and the raised lip around the edge also helps contain any dirt and wetness. They’re easy to clean too - a quick wipe over and they’re pretty much like new again, even after 4-5 years of use. I also quite like the utilitarian look of the rubber mats So I tend to keep my rubber mats in my car all year round.

The comments here made me more confused haha.
The seller who sells them - say they won't fit.
I am buying them from abroad and can't test them on site.

Once you get the car you'll be better placed. I wouldn't have thought they have changed the floor plan. The only issue is whether the existing has different mat sizes for the left and right front wells. I could see that UK / Ireland mats for a right hand drive won't fit a left hand drive and you'd get that answer.

Hopefully existing Formentor drivers can jump in and say whether the mats are different for the two front wells. You could also examine the part numbers from different Cupra catalogues online across Europe to work that one out. These days they have the lugs in the floor that fit into the mat to stop them moving about so that's the other reason why you'll get told they won't fit if it's not designed for the car let alone whether it would fit in the well on dimensions alone, the lugs won't align up.
