A cargo liner is simply a barrier for your trunk. They act as a second skin, so any spillages and dirt etc. will be in contact with the cargo liner rather than the trunk. Cargo liners can be made from a range of materials, with some being more durable and long wearing than others. Specific cargo liners can withstand the daily transportation of pets and what comes along with their adventures. Hatchbag cargo liners are made from fibre reinforced PVC, a highly durable material that allows the liner to last the lifetime of your RAV4. Hatchbag cargo liners can be wiped clean in situ and add ons such as the odor mat and Hatchbed mat give pet comfort and a pleasant driving experience.

Hatchbag liners offer a custom fit and they are tailor-made specifically to your RAV4. This supplies your trunk with comprehensive and complete protection.

Types of Cargo Liners Available for the Toyota RAV4

Cargo liners often come in two classifications: universal or tailor-made. Hatchbag offers tailor-made cargo liners and we will explore the variety that we offer.

Our standard cargo liner is the most simple of our options, but still provides full, comprehensive coverage. With the standard cargo liner, the corners of the liner are sewn shut, so you will not be able to recline your seats with your liner in place. The standard cargo liner is great for dog owners as you can still use extra safety measures for your furry friends and add on extras and accessories that will make your dog’s, and your adventures, more enjoyable.  

Our rear plus cargo liner is similar to the standard cargo liner. The only difference is that this type of liner allows the back seats to be folded. If you would like your pets in your RAV4 to have ample space, this would be a great option for you. The rear plus liner’s sides are detachable by Velcro and this allows the back panel to drop. You can also add a boot liner extension to the rear plus option, covering the entirety of your trunk and back seats.

You can also opt for the rear plus with seat split cargo liner, which has the same properties as the rear plus liner, but you can additionally recline singular seats and keeps some upright in your RAV4. All cargo liner options are extremely practical, but depending on your lifestyle and what you mainly use your RAV4 for, will impact your decision.
