Why choose a Volvo boot liner?
To maintain the quality of your Volvo, a boot liner is an essential tool, and is beneficial in a number of ways. SUV models, such as the Volvo XC60 and XC90, are often associated with outdoor lifestyles, sports equipment, and large families, leaving space for damage, dirt, and general wear and tear.
For large families, the Volvo V60 is ideal due to its large capacity and practical design. However, the constant loading and unloading may lead to dirt, moisture, scratches, and bad odours, which, without protection, can, over time, lead to the vehicle’s value degrading. This long-term damage could affect its reselling ability and overall cost.

Volvo boot liners are particularly beneficial for minimising the risk of damage when travelling. The protective liner will cover the Volvo’s boot space, acting as a safety barrier for unwanted scuffs and scratches. This is also ideal for those travelling with muddy or wet items.
One of the main benefits of a boot liner is for Volvo drivers who are pet owners. Travelling with dogs can be difficult, as they may cause scratches, leave pet hair or imprint muddy paws on the Volvo’s boot space and carpet. Volvo drivers can enjoy peace of mind knowing their vehicle is protected from this damage with a protective boot liner.

Comparing the different types of Volvo boot liners
When choosing a Volvo boot liner, there are different available types to compare and choose between.
- Universal boot liners: This type provides a “one size fits all” and is often not designed to meet Volvo’s dimensions. Perfect for Volvo drivers who only need a boot liner for singular and temporary usage.
- Volvo-manufactured boot liners: This type is designed with Volvo’s official branding and is often included with sales of newer models. Perfect for Volvo drivers who would prefer a matching interior aesthetic.
- Custom-made boot liners: This is a premium boot liner type that provides complete protection, with the fit being tailored to the exact boot’s dimensions. Perfect for Volvo drivers who require complete coverage, particularly pet owners and those travelling with muddy items.
Each vary in terms of cost and functionality, including their own advantages and disadvantages. You may find that one type meets all your specifications and what you will require from a boot liner.

The benefits of a Hatchbag boot liner for your Volvo model
Hatchbag boot liners are a popular choice for Volvo owners because of their exceptional quality and custom-fit designs. These custom-made liners provide an excellent solution for those looking to protect their vehicle’s interior without compromising on style or durability.
We provide three different options for our boot liner, varying in their adaptability. Our standard boot liner offers full protection for the boot space and back of rear seats. Other options include the Rear Plus, where seats can be folded altogether with the boot liner and the Rear Plus with Seat Split.
- Custom fit for every model: Our boot liners are tailored to meet your exact model and year of your car’s dimensions. With technology, we carefully scan each car boot, making sure to follow the lines and curves, to capture the exact dimensions and contours.
- Durable and waterproof material: Made from reinforced PVC, our tailored boot liners are waterproof and non-absorbent. When travelling with muddy dogs or large sporting equipment, any moisture can be easily wiped away and cleaned.
- Wide range of colours: Unlike universal and Volvo-manufactured options, the Hatchbag boot liner is extremely customisable and available in 7 different colours. Volvo drivers can choose a colour depending on their preferences and that best suit their Volvo’s interior.
- Versatility: To ensure that all of your needs are met, and the Volvo boot space is fully protected, we also provide optional extras to complement our boot liners. These include extras and accessories that can protect other parts of the Volvo, including bumper, tailgate and the headrests of the rear seats.

Choosing the best Volvo boot liner accessories
To get the most out of your Volvo boot liner, several accessories can be added to increase its functionality and provide additional protection to your vehicle. These optional additions can be extremely beneficial for dog owners and those with large boot spaces and bumpers.
Shop our boot liner accessories here:
- Bumper flap: Perfect for Volvo SUVs, such as the XC60 and XC90. The bumper flap will protect the Volvo’s bumper from scratches and scrapes, particularly if you are frequently unloading and loading your vehicle.
- Tailored rear seat flap: This feature works in tandem with the Rear Plus option, with a flap extending when the rear seats are folded.
- Tailgate cover: Extends the protection of the boot liner to the inside of the tailgate, preventing damage when the boot is opened.
- Odour mat: Ideal for those transporting pets or potentially smelly items, as it helps to neutralise and absorb unpleasant odours. This accessory ensures your Volvo stays fresh, even after long trips with pets or dirty equipment.
- Hatchbed mat: This padded option is designed specifically for pet owners, offering a more comfortable and supportive surface for dogs to sit or lie on during journeys.
- Rubber mat: This can be added for those who need extra grip or protection for the base of the boot liner. The rubber mat is especially useful for keeping items from sliding around while driving or when transporting wet or muddy items.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a car mat and a boot liner?
A car mat is designed to protect the floor of the vehicle's passenger areas, usually underfoot, from dirt and wear. On the other hand, a boot liner covers the entire boot space, offering protection for the larger cargo area, including the sides and back of the seats.
