These are the features and specs you should expect from a high-quality, genuine custom floor mat set in luxury/leatherette finish:
Feature | Description / What to Look For |
---|---|
Precise Fit to Floor Pan | The mats should follow the contour of the Aqua’s front footwells (driver & passenger), rear bench footprints, centre transmission / tunnel hump, any raised ridges or dips. The driver’s side especially around the pedals (accelerator, brake) must have clearance and proper shape so nothing interferes. |
Trim / Variant Specific | If the Aqua has different interior shapes depending on dashboard, seat mount, whether the steering / pedal layout, hybrid vs non-hybrid, or trim packs, the mats should match that exact variant. |
Luxury Top Material (“Letux” Style) | A leatherette / faux leather / high-grade PU surface; possibly quilted / diamond stitching; soft texture; good colour matching of leather / interior. It should look premium, not cheap-vinyl. |
Multi-Layer Build | Top decorative layer + cushion/padding beneath (for comfort & sound/heat insulation) + waterproof or moisture barrier layer + anti-slip backing (rubber/nubs or textured underside) so mats don’t slide. Also driver side heel pad reinforcement is important. |
Raised Edges / Lipped Tray Style | To contain water, mud, snow, liquid spillage; edges should be high enough to stop overflow; a lip around mats helps protect original carpet underneath. |
Anchors / OEM Fixing Points | Driver mat should have hole(s) or cut-outs for factory anchor / clip so it locks in place; some mats may include their own clip system if OEM doesn’t. Prevent slippage under foot / around pedals. |
Edge Binding / Quality Finish | The edges should be stitched, bound or overlocked so that they hold up over time and don’t fray or peel. Stitching thread should be strong / color-matched. |
Ease of Cleaning | Leatherette surface should be wipeable easily; water / liquid should not soak in; removable for washing; ideally dries quickly; odor resistant. |
Durability vs Weather & Use | Should resist sun / UV fade, heat warping, water damage; resilient under heavy foot traffic; leatherette surfaces should not crack easily. |
Appearance & Style | Match or complement Aqua’s interior colours; tasteful stitching; optional logo (Toyota / Aqua); overall look that enhances interior rather than feel like an add-on. |
