The biggest reason why an SUV nor a sedan are the most popular vehicles in Australia is because none of the two share certain advantages. That’s definitely the case with utes as these versatile vehicles aren’t strictly a sedan or an SUV but they have both of these vehicles’ unique benefits.
For example, a ute has a ground clearance that is closer to what a sedan has but not as low. Utes also have more cargo space than a sedan but they are not as difficult to handle through a corner as an SUV is. With a ute, you can go both grocery shopping and on an adventure through the Outback as long as you have the right accessories including seat covers.
Benefits of Seat Covers
Protection
The ultimate level of protection that your ute’s seats can get is that of covers. Although the level of protection depends on the type of covers you get, it still is far better to go for any basic cover than to have none at all. With the right ute car seat covers though you can easily make your seats stay in good shape for a lot longer.
Appeal
Another big reason why you’d want to have your seats covered is to make the interior of your ute more stylish. There are different designs of covers that can easily make the inside of your vehicle look more modern or colourful if that’s your style.
Maintenance
The same goes for any seat cover no matter the material it’s made of and that’s the fact that you’ll need to clean the seats far less than usual. Although you’ll still need to clean the covers, they are far easier to maintain than any seat since there are fewer creases for dust and crumbs to get stuck.
Types of Seat Covers
Neoprene
Although not exactly as durable as rubber, neoprene covers are made from rubber but they offer something that rubber doesn’t. Neoprene seat covers can keep your seats safe from spills and dust without sacrificing comfort and breathability. Neoprene covers may not be as breathable as some others but they are not that bad either.
Nylon
If you want a truly durable set of seat covers you should go with nylon covers. They are one of the most hard-wearing covers that’ll keep your seats protected from all sorts of nuisances from dirt and grime to sharp objects and your pets. Keep in mind that nylon covers are not even close to being comfortable. For the rugged adventurer, they’re perfect though.
Vinyl
If you want a cover that is easy to clean, durable and looks much like leather, you should go for a vinyl seat cover. All you need is a wet towel to keep a vinyl cover in good shape and it will keep its looks for the longest.
Leather
Talking about leather, it’s the most stylish and most durable natural cover you can get. Leather covers are also easy to clean and can survive quite the abuse if cared for properly. They are not comfortable in a hot climate though.
Polyester
A synthetic cover that is elegant and durable is one made of polyester. Polyester seat covers are essentially a micro-suede solution that’s able to keep your seats protected from most fluids as well as abrasions but they are not the most desirable when it comes to hot weather.
Canvas
Simple and rugged, canvas covers are one of the most affordable covers you’ll come across. They don’t offer much of a look nor do they make your trips that much comfortable but they will last you for quite a long time without a lot of maintenance around them.
Mesh
When it comes to surviving the scorching hot sun in your ute your best bet is to go with mesh covers. They are the most breathable covers you can get your hands on and they also provide quite a comfortable layer over your existing seats.
Denim
If you like the feel of jeans you can have it on your ute’s seats alongside the benefits of denim. These types of covers are rugged and durable and since they come with a foam backing, denim covers are also rather comfortable.
Velour
The most basic material seat covers are made of is Velour. Although its name signifies otherwise, this material makes for affordable and comfortable covers that are not going to make your interior more modern or retro.
Jacquard
Similar to Velour covers, Jacquard covers are made to provide the same affordability and comfort levels but with a bit of a rugged design. The middle part of Jacquard covers is the heavy-duty part which means they won’t wear out as easily.
Sheepskin
The most comfortable material you’ll find a cover made of is sheepskin. This natural material is also going to keep you warm during colder months but know that it’s not that easy to clean.
Acrylic Fur
If you want to get a similar feeling and look of sheepskin covers without paying the full price you should consider going for acrylic fur covers. This synthetic alternative is long-lasting and a bit easier to maintain than the real deal.
