WeatherTech 441732-1-2 FloorLiners for 2023–2026 Kia Sportage

What Comes in the Set?

The package covers both seating rows and typically contains:

• One driver-side front FloorLiner
• One passenger-side front FloorLiner
• One molded second-row FloorLiner
• Black finish

The connected rear liner extends across the rear footwell and center floor section, reducing the gaps that separate universal mats usually leave exposed.

WeatherTech 441732-1-2 Specifications

Laser-Measured Sportage Fit

WeatherTech digitally measures the Sportage footwells to create liners that follow the floor, console and seating contours. The design provides more coverage along the front, rear and sides of each footwell than traditional flat carpet mats.

The raised edges and channels help contain:

• Rainwater
• Melting snow
• Mud and road salt
• Sand and gravel
• Food crumbs
• Coffee and drink spills
• Pet hair
• Mystery debris contributed by children

WeatherTech describes its FloorLiners as providing coverage across the bottom, front, back and sides of the footwell. Additional construction and care information is available from the official WeatherTech Kia Sportage FloorLiner page.

HDTE Construction

WeatherTech uses a High-Density Tri-Extruded structure engineered to provide:

• A rigid core that maintains the liner’s molded shape
• Surface texture beneath the driver’s feet
• Friction against the factory carpet
• Resistance to ordinary temperature changes
• Channels that move fluid away from footwear
• A lower reservoir that helps control trapped water and debris

The relatively firm construction is what allows the sides to remain upright. A soft universal mat can’t protect the side of a footwell when it’s lying flat on the carpet contemplating its poor career choices.

Channels and Lower Reservoir

The molded channels direct water and loose debris toward lower collection areas. This helps keep shoes and pant cuffs away from accumulated moisture while reducing movement of liquid during normal driving.

The liners aren’t infinitely deep. Large spills should be removed promptly instead of testing whether the Sportage can support an indoor koi pond.

Installation

Installation doesn’t require tools or vehicle modification:

1. Remove every existing floor mat.
2. Vacuum dirt from the factory carpet.
3. Position the driver-side liner first.
4. Connect it to the factory retention points.
5. Install the passenger-side liner.
6. Position the second-row liner beneath the front seats.
7. Slide the front seats through their complete adjustment range.
8. Verify full accelerator and brake-pedal clearance.

Never install the liner over another mat. Stacked mats can move, prevent proper retention and interfere with the pedals.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Remove the FloorLiners before washing them. Shake away loose debris, rinse with water and use a mild detergent or dedicated floor-liner cleaner as required.

Avoid silicone-based dressings and oily interior protectants. They can create a slippery surface near the pedals, which is exactly where nobody asked for extra excitement.

Let the liners dry before reinstalling them and check that the driver-side retention points are secure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What vehicle does WeatherTech 441732-1-2 fit?

It fits select 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026 Kia Sportage gasoline models.

Does part 441732-1-2 fit the Sportage Hybrid?

No. Published retailer fitment identifies this set for non-hybrid models. The Sportage Hybrid uses a different rear liner, commonly sold as set 441732-1-3.

Does it fit the Sportage Plug-in Hybrid?

Do not assume it does. Select a WeatherTech set specifically listed for the Sportage Plug-in Hybrid and confirm the exact model year before ordering.

Will it fit a 2022 Kia Sportage?

No. The North American 2023 Sportage introduced a redesigned generation with different interior dimensions.

Does this package include the cargo liner?

No. It covers the front and second-row passenger footwells only. Cargo protection is sold separately.

Can the liners be installed over the factory mats?

No. Remove the factory mats first. The WeatherTech liners should sit directly against the original carpet and engage the available retention hardware.

Are these rubber mats?

WeatherTech FloorLiners use a proprietary high-density thermoplastic construction rather than conventional soft rubber.

Are the product photos exact?

Not necessarily. WeatherTech and its retailers may use representative images. Fitment should be determined by the part number and vehicle configuration rather than the photograph alone.

Final Verdict

WeatherTech 441732-1-2 is a solid all-season choice for a 2023–2026 gasoline-powered Kia Sportage. It provides better side coverage and liquid containment than ordinary carpet mats while remaining easy to remove and clean.

The main buying rule is simple: if your Sportage says Hybrid or Plug-in Hybrid on the back, choose the corresponding electrified-model liner instead.
