After purchasing a car, a caring owner begins to think about what essential accessories he should buy. If we consider Vesta, then its owners first of all consider installing rear mudguards, an armrest, as well as floor mats in the interior and trunk. Let's look at the latest products in more detail.

Why do you need car mats?

Eva mats for Vesta or any other models are used to protect the car. The upholstery of the machine does not come into contact with dirt and water during operation. The metal elements of the body are also not affected.

Also, mats on the Lada Vesta Cross are used to keep the interior clean, which is important when the car is used in the off-season and the rains give way to snow, and all the roads are covered with mud. A similar problem appears in the summer, when dust is carried into the car with shoes.

Carpet is also used for aesthetics. Manufacturers who produce this accessory try to diversify the design with contrasting edging, stitching or prints.

Purpose

In a car of any class, floor mats are designed to protect the decorative heat and sound insulating floor covering (carpet) from abrasion, damage from shoes and luggage, wetness and dirt. This removable accessory allows you to localize contamination and periodically easily remove accumulated dirt from the passenger compartment and luggage compartment. In addition, mats are an additional layer of heat and noise insulation and, with appropriate design, a decorative element of interior equipment.

The feasibility and even necessity of furnishing the interior with carpets is evidenced by the fact that not a single car enthusiast neglects them.

Types of rugs

Lada Vesta SV Cross carpets used for interior or trunk flooring vary in materials: rubber, polyurethane, textile.

Rubber mats

Rubber mats for Lada Vesta (sedan or station wagon) are better suited than others. This is the most convenient option for everyday use. Car manufacturers are also aware of this and offer the accessory as an option when purchasing a car at high prices.

Therefore, car enthusiasts buy rubber mats from third-party companies. But in hot weather, an unpleasant odor emanates if they are made from low-quality materials.

Automotive experts believe that rubber accessories are aesthetically pleasing and practical. They are not destroyed by moisture, they have high wear resistance, and they also fit well with most models.

There are practically no downsides. In addition to the smell, drivers note the heavy weight.

Polyurethane (polymer mats)

Polyurethane is a more modern material that has properties similar to rubber and provides a similar level of protection for a car. Judging by driver reviews, the differences between such mats are their improved performance characteristics: they are easy to wash, do not tear for a long time, do not lose their shape, as well as high sides.

Automobile manufacturers install such mats due to the high side and high demand from car owners.

EVA kits are made from this material; in appearance they resemble a honeycomb. They hold dirt well, but you can only wash them with a high-pressure washer. If this is not done, then there will be “beds” under the feet of the driver and passengers.

Textile rugs

Textile mats for Lada Vesta SV are made from carpet. The most popular color is mouton. Experts call this accessory a classic, which is why it is manufactured by Largus, Granta, and all other models of domestic manufacturers.

The pile layer of textile mats on the Lada Vesta, produced since 2015, is installed on a rubber backing that does not allow water to pass through. This option is used in the off-season or in summer, less often in winter. In the cabin they are attached to clips with plugs.

It is preferable to use them only in summer weather, since textile accessories do not dry well in a car, and in winter they also become covered with stains and streaks.

Plastic mats

Typically, such mats are installed in the trunk of a car and attached to clips (buttons). They are easy to install with your own hands in a sedan or station wagon.

This is the cheapest option, which costs on par with rubber interior counterparts. They are made to protect the luggage compartment upholstery from dirt and automotive fluids.

Such mats are rarely installed in car interiors, as there are more versatile, comfortable and beautiful accessories.

3D rugs

3D mats are made on a rubber backing with a foam core and a fabric pile outer part. Many car enthusiasts believe that such accessories are a marketing ploy.

A distinctive feature is the combination of the strength of polyurethane or rubber with a textured appearance.

For Lada Vesta SW Cross, produced from 2022, such accessories are produced in a set of 4 pieces. They differ in their molding with high sides and developed protrusions on the sides. The footrest of this car mat has a section for resting the driver’s feet.

Types of material for floor mats Lada Vesta

Products intended for placement on the vesta floor can be made from a variety of materials. Sellers in markets and specialized auto stores can offer car mats at any price, from 1,000 rubles to 5,000 rubles, depending on the car enthusiast’s preferences.

Car enthusiasts have the following choice of carpets: polyurethane or polymer, of any shape and color, with high and low sides.

Let's figure out which material the news owners should choose.

Rubber products

Rubber car mats come with Vesta cars in any configuration, regardless of body type. More common among car owners. Excellent help in the fight against external adverse factors. Rubber prevents water from seeping into the interior, has good resistance to wear, and is easy to clean when it gets dirty. The main “minus” is that a specific smell will haunt you in the interior of a car with recently purchased rubber carpets. The cost of the kit for Lada vesta ranges from 1.5 to 2 thousand rubles. For humid climates this is what you need.

Textile rugs

Thanks to the rubberized base, they provide reliable protection of the car interior from dust, dirt, and water. Absorbs liquids well. The main disadvantage is that car mats quickly get dirty, being “dust collectors” in the cabin. You have to wash textiles often, which spoils the main “trump card” of microfiber mats - to look good inside the car interior. The choice of colors will not leave any Vesta owner indifferent. A popular color for textiles is black. A good choice for dry warm weather. The price starts from 1800 rubles. and ends at around 2500 rubles.

Plastic mats

Owners of AvtoVAZ products appreciated car carpets made from plastic. The high sides hold water and dirt well, making cleaning quick and easy at any time. Waterproofness and wear resistance are the reasons to choose plastic car mats.

Help: The main drawback is that no matter how textured the plastic is, it still remains the most slippery among its competitors.

The price for a set of floor mats will be approximately from 2 to 2.5 thousand rubles. We still advise you to pay attention to rubber carpets - the same advantages, but cheaper.

3D floor mats Lada Vesta

Consist of 3 layers: pile, sponge rubber, hard rubber. It is comfortable to be in a car with such mats, but it is difficult to find any differences with textile products. These multi-layer rugs look great, but quickly lose their appearance due to many factors. If you plan to treat this type of carpet with care, it’s worth purchasing them.

After all, 3D floor mats are made in the shape of any shape, giving the Vesta’s interior a touch of elegance.

Which type should you choose?

In this case, the choice will remain with the owner. Most car owners “tip the scales” in favor of fabric products in dry weather and rubber products in autumn and winter.

Vesta trunk mat

Vesta trunk mats are used to keep this compartment clean when the driver has to transport dirty cargo in the car. They are often sold together with salon accessories in one set.

Most often, two materials are used for such car mats: rubber and plastic. They are suitable for keeping the raised floor clean in the niche under which the spare wheel is mounted.

Sometimes manufacturers of such accessories offer carpet, but this material is difficult to clean from dirt.

Advantages of 3D EVA mats for Lada Vesta

EVA carpets offer a high degree of individualization. A car enthusiast can choose a black version, or maybe a red one or any other.

EVA carpets perform well both in extremely high temperatures and in cold weather. Manufacturers guarantee the safety of the accessory.

They are easy to remove, because the weight of the porous material is much lower than that of rubber or polyurethane analogues. Such a carpet is not afraid of constant use, and also increases the sound insulation of the interior, reducing the impact of sounds from under the mudguards.

EVA can be used at any time of the year, since the honeycomb-shaped surface retains moisture well that enters the car interior in winter or in the off-season. When an accessory becomes too dirty, it can be washed in a sink using suitable cleaning agents.

The main advantage of such carpets is environmental friendliness and harmlessness, including for allergy sufferers. They don't smell and don't crumble.

Varieties

Alas, the manufacturer did not consider it necessary to include floor mats in the basic configuration of the car. But you yourself can buy those that you like best. Richer trim levels (say, 50 Annyversary) come with car mats made of specially shaped textiles with embroidery with the text “Vesta”.

The floor configuration of this car allows you to put any rugs in the cabin, regardless of the configuration. Floor mats are divided, depending on functionality, into the following types:

• Branded . AvtoVAZ produces such products depending on the specific car model, so the mats have clear shapes that correspond to the “native” model and fit it exactly.
• Designer . This type is also made for specific machine models, however, for universalization, their configuration may be more complex and the material used may be of better quality.
• Universal . The size of such floor mats depends on the class of the car. The mats contain markings on the surface, with the help of which the owner can precisely adjust them to the required location (underfoot in the cabin or trunk). This material will review universal and designer rugs.

How much do mats cost on Vesta?

The recommended cost of an original rubber car accessory from AvtoVAZ is about 3,000 rubles. For about the same money you can buy carpet analogues from.

The price of polyurethane mats from AGATEK is much lower. You can buy a kit for the entire car for only 1,300 rubles. Norplast produces products at approximately the same price.

Some car enthusiasts are interested in how much EVA carpets for a Vesta car cost. If you calculate the prices for Eva Drive, then the kit will cost 3,650 rubles. This price includes a trunk accessory.

Ordering an EVA carpet for the trunk is not always correct. It’s better to buy a plastic analogue in the Lada-Vesta-Shop online store for only 300 rubles.
