WeatherTech FloorLiner wins for all-weather rubber protection, 3D MAXpider Kagu delivers a modern textured look, and genuine Mercedes-Benz carpeted mats give you OEM fit. Snow and mud? Rubber handles it. Want to keep that showroom aesthetic? Carpet does the job—pick what matches your climate and how you use the car.
Premium materials line E-Class interiors. They stain fast. Factory mats wear through after 2–3 years of daily driving—the driver's footwell takes the worst beating. Aftermarket mats protect resale value. They also stop moisture from reaching the sound insulation underneath, which can turn into a mildew problem.
E-Class models share front mat dimensions—W213 sedan, S213 wagon, C238 coupe all use the same size. Rear coverage? That's where they differ. Check your body style before you order. A coupe's rear mats won't fit a sedan's footwell.
WeatherTech covers the entire footwell. Raised edges contain spills—1.5 inches high, which stops slush before it hits carpet. Fits 2017–2024 E300, E350, E450 without trimming. The rigid plastic can crack when temperatures drop below -20°F, but that's rare outside extreme cold zones.
Five minutes to install. Mats snap over factory anchor points. The textured surface grips boots, though salt residue shows up quickly. Hose them off monthly if you're in a winter climate.
You'll pay $200–$250 for a front and rear set. WeatherTech ships within 2 business days.
Husky mats cost 30% less than WeatherTech. Coverage is similar. The rubberized finish feels softer underfoot—dirt collects in the grooves, though. Good for occasional snow exposure. If you park outdoors in Minneapolis or Buffalo, they're not ideal.
Rear mat coverage stops 2 inches short of the seat track on long-wheelbase E-Class models. Front mats fit perfectly.
Rubber backing meets a carbon-fiber-look top layer. Three-layer construction traps water like rubber mats—minus the truck accessory aesthetic. Fits flush with E-Class floor contours. No gaps around the dead pedal or center console.
Kagu material resists stains better than factory carpet. Wipe it clean with a damp cloth. Anchor grommets align with Mercedes floor hooks—no modification needed.
One downside: the textured surface shows dirt faster than smooth rubber. Vacuum weekly to keep them looking sharp.
OEM mats match factory carpet color and pile height exactly. "Mercedes-Benz" embroidery looks premium. The thin rubber backing lets moisture wick through after heavy rain, though. These work best in dry climates or as summer mats you rotate with rubber in winter.
Mercedes dealers charge $150–$180 for a front set. ECS Tuning sells identical mats for $90–$120—same part number.
| Generation | Years | Front Fit Notes | Rear Fit Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| W213 | 2017–2023 | Universal fit across E300/E350/E450 | Sedan and wagon differ—verify body style |
| W214 | 2024+ | Redesigned footwell—2017–2023 mats don't fit | New part numbers required |
| C238 Coupe | 2018–2023 | Same as W213 sedan | Smaller rear footprint—sedan mats won't work |
Rubber mats: remove and rinse monthly. Use a soft brush for textured surfaces. Pressure washers can warp the edges. Let them air-dry completely before reinstalling—prevents mildew under the mat.
Carpet mats: vacuum weekly. Spot-clean spills immediately with a 50/50 water and white vinegar solution. Deep-clean every 6 months with a wet-vac or steam cleaner. Never soak OEM mats—the backing delaminates.
Both types: rotate front mats every oil change to even out wear. Driver's side mats degrade 3x faster than passenger side.

Many E-Class owners keep both sets. Swap seasonally. Store off-season mats flat in a garage or basement—rolling them causes permanent creases.
Order directly from WeatherTech or 3D MAXpider for the best return policy. Both offer 30-day trials. Amazon stocks the same mats—return shipping costs $15–$25 for oversized items, though.
Mercedes dealers mark up OEM mats 40–60%. Check FCP Euro or ECS Tuning for genuine parts at wholesale pricing. Same lifetime warranty as dealer parts.
Avoid unbranded mats on eBay or AliExpress. They skip the anchor grommets. Recycled rubber off-gasses a chemical smell for months.
Do 2020 E-Class floor mats fit a 2024 model?
No. The 2024 W214 generation redesigned the footwell shape. You need mats specifically cut for 2024+ models. 2017–2023 mats are interchangeable within that range.
Can I use C-Class mats in an E-Class?
Front mats are 2 inches narrower and 1 inch shorter—they'll leave gaps and won't anchor properly. Rear mats have completely different contours. Always buy mats cut for your specific model.
How do I stop floor mats from sliding?
Use mats with anchor grommets that lock into the factory twist-lock posts. If your mats lack grommets, add adhesive velcro strips to the mat backing—this works but voids most warranties.
Are all-weather mats worth it for Florida or California?
If you never see snow, the main benefit is spill containment and easy cleaning. Carpet mats look better but stain permanently from coffee or soda. Rubber makes sense if you hit the beach or hiking trails often.
Will thick floor mats void my Mercedes warranty?
No, but if a mat interferes with pedal operation and causes an accident, Mercedes and your insurer can deny claims. Always verify full pedal travel with new mats installed—press each pedal to the floor and check for obstructions.
