Video Transcript for 2023 Kia Telluride Aries Automotive Seat Defender Cargo Area Protector: Complete Installation

Hey, it's Troy with etrailer. Today, we're gonna take a look at the ARIES Automotive Seat Defender in the back of our 2023 Kia Telluride. This cargo mat is gonna keep your cargo space and your vehicle clean from anything you might put back here, such as if you have side projects going on at home, like some soil mulch or concrete. It's going to be a universal fit, but it's not gonna be a bad option if you're not planning on going and getting like anything dirty quite often. If you do, that's where you might wanna look more at a custom fit. Those custom fits are gonna be designed to your cargo area specifically and look a little bit more OEM than a universal would.

But as you can see here, it's fitting pretty well. It goes up the sides and it also doesn't move around a lot. So if you're putting anything back here that you don't want to shift, it's not going to, and that's just 'cause it's coated with a rubber insulation underneath. You plan on putting your third row up, as you can see, it's not gonna fit that well, and it's gonna have a lot of excess overhanging out the back here. And if you say you get your cargo in there and then you want to go ahead and put that up and put the hatch down, you're gonna have to fold all this excess back up in.

And when you do that, the cargo protector is gonna wanna start to pull back on you. So it's gonna start exposing that carpet you're trying to protect. Now, when you are done using it, it's gonna fold up nice and neatly to store in the back of your vehicle. On this Telluride, too, it comes with a nice storage compartment here in the back that's gonna have plenty of space to go ahead and put it back there. So you always have it on hand whenever you need it.

If you're just looking for some basic protection for your cargo area, this is gonna be a great option for you. And that was a look at the ARIES Automotive Seat Defender in our 2023 Kia Telluride.
