The Mk5 Sportage (NQ5, 2021-onwards) sits on the K3 platform shared with the Hyundai Tucson. Both cars have similar cargo volumes and cabin dimensions, but the retention hook positions differ by roughly 15 mm, so Tucson-specific mats visibly gap in a Sportage even though they lie flat.

What to look for on the listing
- The listing must call out “Sportage NQ5” or “2021-onwards Sportage” - the outgoing QL used a different pattern.
- All powertrains share cabin mats; only boot-floor accessories differ between petrol, HEV and PHEV.
- If you want the two-level boot floor accessory, that is only fitted on the pure-petrol and mild-hybrid trims.
- GT-Line adds sports pedals; mat fit is unchanged.
Frequently asked questions
Are the Sportage HEV cabin mats different from petrol?
No. Hybrid packaging is under the boot floor and does not touch the passenger footwells. Front and rear mats are shared across the range.
Do Sportage and Tucson mats interchange?
Not cleanly. Same platform, but the retention hook pitch differs by about 15 mm and the driver’s side edge line is a few millimetres shorter on the Sportage. Order model-specific.
