Interior carpet option

[Sammyd]

For owners who have the interior carpet option, can you comment if there is less NVH than without the carpet?
I do realize that with carpet it won’t be easy to hose out the interior, it was wondering if it would be quieter inside.

I have the carpets and can confirm they do have a substantial, 20mm, built on foam underlay. But since I haven’t driven a rubber matted version I can't do a comparison. I would comment however that the front carpet is one piece between the driver and passenger side and requires the central console removed to take it out. As mine had issues with finding leaks the carpet was replaced by Ineos.

Can anyone chime in who has experienced both versions back to back?

I’ve had a loaner with carpet. There was no measurable difference in NVH

The rubber floor is very dense and well shaped, would think they are the equal of carpet in terms of noise dampening. Plus you can put additional carpet mats on top.

Both of our grenadiers have the vinyl floors and weather tech floormats

I have carpet but mine is also full of other stuff, boot has stuff in and I've made a cover using blanket and straps across the Bison baskets. Whenever I get a loaner from dealer it has the plastic floor and is noisy. I think it's more to do with my setup than the floor
