10 Best Cargo Liners (Review) In 2020

The first set of cargo liners on this list are made by Motor Trend. The reason we selected these as our Best Choice product is that they provide complete protection for the floor of your car. In addition to the cargo liner, you get footwell protectors for both the front and rear seats. They are designed to be trimmed down to size with just a pair of scissors. You can also check if they’ll fit your car using the tool on the top of the Amazon listing.

They’re made from a material called Flex Tough. This is a performance rubber polymer that has been through a tough testing procedure to make sure it’s durable enough. They’re designed not to split, crack, or deform, even under heavy abuse.

You might not want or need to cover the whole of your car floor with rubber matting. If you’ve paid a lot of money for a nice car, you probably don’t want to ruin the way it looks with ugly floor mats. And we don’t blame you! The trunk of your car is a different story though. It doesn’t really matter how your trunk looks, except for when you’re trying to sell the car. That’s why it’s super important to protect it.

The OxGord WeatherShield HD Floor Mat is one of the cheapest ways to keep the trunk of your car in perfect condition. We’ve selected it as our Best Value product on this list because it’s really affordable and capable of fitting most vehicles including cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, and more. It’s made to be extra-large (55”x43”) so you can trim it down to size using scissors or a utility knife. Along each side of the cargo liner, there’s a series of grooves so that you know where to cut. This makes it much easier to cut to size.

If you want to spend a bit more money on your cargo liner, you could choose this one by Kaungka. The only caveat is that you have to own a Honda Civic Sedan made between 2016 and 2019. If you read the Amazon Questions and Answers section, you’ll find that it fits a few other models. If you’re not sure if it will fit your car, it’s worth posting the question in there and seeing if someone else has tried.

Buying a car-specific cargo liner comes with both pros and cons. The biggest advantage is that you’ll get a perfect fit. All you have to do is take Kaungka cargo liner out of the packaging and place it in the trunk of your car. There’s no need to trim it to size or try and stuff it into corners. And, because it fits perfectly, it will provide better protection for the trunk of your car. It has a raised wall around the sides, which stops spills from reaching the material underneath.

Next up is another set of mats from Kaungka. These ones are designed for the Nissan Rogue (2014-2018). This hugely popular crossover SUV was designed in Japan and sold in huge numbers in both Europe and the USA. It’s one of the most popular cars in the world. The only problem with it is the floor mats. It comes with thin carpeted mats that can barely stand up to the wear and tear of a busy family. That’s why we’ve included these heavy-duty rubber mats.

First, we should mention our only complaint – they don’t come with a cargo liner. You have to buy that separately, which makes the total over $100. Even at that price, we still recommend buying them because you’ll get that investment back when it comes time to sell the car.

The Toyota RAV4 is another hugely popular car, especially in the USA. That’s why we’ve included this cargo liner from MAXLINER. It’s designed to fit a 2019 RAV4 perfectly but works in different models as well. You can check if it will fit your car using the tool on the Amazon listing.

MAXLINER claims that this product is more affordable than a lot of its competitors, but we’ve found it to be towards the more expensive end of the market. Having said that, it’s less than $100, which is a small price to pay to keep your brand new car in perfect condition.

If you think you recognize this cargo liner, it means you’re paying attention. It’s the same cargo liner that we featured in the combo set as our Best Choice product. We think it deserves a mention again just in case you didn’t know you can buy it without the floor mats. If you can’t find a cargo liner for your model of car, this is easily one of the best on the market. It’s also considerably cheaper than most of the car-specific cargo liners.

One of the reasons we like Motor Trend Cargo Mat Liner so much is that it’s easy to trim to size. You can either place the cargo liner in your trunk and do it by eye or take accurate measurements and cut it separately. Even though the rubber is thick and durable, you can easily cut through it with a pair of scissors. The other thing that makes it easy to trim is the addition of lined grooves around the cargo liner. Follow these lines and you can get a perfectly straight cut every time. The only downside of a trimmable cargo liner like this one is the fact that it doesn’t have spill-resistant lipped sides. That means it’s not as effective at keeping the carpet clean in the event of a spill. You can work around this by cutting the cargo liner so it’s too big, but it doesn’t look anywhere near as good.

E-cowlboy makes a range of cargo liners that are designed for specific models of cars. This one fits in the trunk of a Ford Escape (2013-2019). If you don’t have a Ford Escape, you should check out the rest of their product range. They make some of the best quality and most affordable cargo liners on the market.

This E-cowlboy Trunk Cargo Liner is affordable because of its simple design. It has a diamond-shaped grid system that stops your stuff from sliding around in the trunk. It also helps manage any spills by sending them around the liner in the grooves, rather than straight out to the sides. Speaking of spills, it’s also got lipped sides to stop any liquids from reaching the trunk’s carpet.

If you’re looking for a massive, trimmable cargo liner, the FH Group F16400GRAY is one of the best on the market. It measures 55.5-inches x 42.5-inches, which means it’s large enough for almost any SUV, truck, or car. Having said that, it’s always measuring the size of your trunk before you go ahead and buy one of these.

Like most trimmable cargo liners, it has lines along the edges to allow you to trim it to size. The best way to trim it to size is to place the existing car mat on top of the cargo liner and use it as an outline. This ensures that you get a perfect fit, without cutting it too small. Alternatively, you can measure the floor space and draw these measurements into the cargo liner.

The last cargo liner on this list was aimed at larger vehicles. You will tend to find that large vehicles (SUVs, trucks, vans) have space for a square trunk. Smaller vehicles (sedans, coupes, small SUVs) normally have rectangular trunk space. The FH Group F16403 cargo liner is designed for this kind of car. It’s basically the same kind of mat as the F16400, it just lends itself to a different shape of car. On the outer rim of the cargo liner, there are multiple grid lines for you to cut along to make it fit your trunk. This is the cargo liner with the biggest area for trimming, so it’s perfect if you don’t know what size you need.

It’s made from the same heavy-duty rubber that can withstand the wear and tear of daily life. FH Group has even taken out a patent on this rubber because it’s so durable. As we’ve said a couple of times in this Buyer’s Guide: fitted cargo liners provide better protection that unfitted liners. However, FH Group has managed to create a product that still provides impressive protection, especially against spills. It has taller outer ridges that stop spills even when you have trimmed the cargo liner down to size. For this reason alone, this is one of the best trimmable cargo liners on the market.

If you’re a fan of the San Francisco 49ers, you can ignore the rest of the cargo liners on this list. We’ve found the perfect product for you. We’re not going to pretend that this is the best cargo liner on this list. It doesn’t protect a big enough space to compete with the other liners we’ve featured. However, if you’re an NFL fan, that won’t matter when you can proudly display your team’s logo in the trunk of your car.

The strange thing about this cargo liner (or cargo mat) is that it doesn’t fit the whole of your trunk. Instead, it sits in the middle for you to put things on. If you’re the kind of person who doesn’t use their car to haul stuff around in, this should work fine for you. However, if you carry a lot of stuff in your trunk, it’s not going to provide the best protection. We’d recommend buying this heavy-duty rubber cargo mat as part of the whole set. It makes much more sense when you have the 49ers logo in the footwells of the car as well as the boot. And don’t worry, these aren’t fakes. They’re officially licensed 49ers merchandise.
