Gearbox & Engine Skid Plate for Honda CR-V (2016-2019) V generation (RW/RT) | Kolchuga®
Protect your Honda CR-V (2016-2019) V generation (RW/RT) with Kolchuga® skid plates, expertly crafted to shield your engine and gearbox. Available in two robust materials, 2 mm thick steel or 3 mm thick aluminum, these skid plates serve as a formidable barrier against the harshest road conditions. Think of it as a sturdy shield for your oil pan and transmission, ensuring your vehicle remains safe from potential damage.
The main Kolchuga® protection panel is made from high-quality steel with a thickness of 2 mm. Steel protection is available with two coating options, providing different levels of corrosion protection.
| Coating | Protection Technology | Purpose and Benefits | Corrosion Warranty |
|---|---|---|---|
| WhiteCover® | Hot-dip galvanizing (compliant with EN ISO 1461). | Reliable and long-lasting coating. Ideal for vehicles with very intensive use (e.g., commercial vehicles). | Up to 24 months |
| ZiPoFlex® | Premium combination: Hot-dip galvanizing + Polymer painting + Polymer lacquer. | The ultimate solution for any, even the most demanding operating conditions (corrosivity category C5). | Up to 36 months |
Aluminum protection (thickness 3 mm)
The protection is made from the exclusive AluOx® aluminum alloy, alloyed with magnesium. The alloy is lightweight, strong, and durable; the addition of magnesium increases specific strength and provides corrosion resistance, especially in marine and chemically aggressive environments. This protection does not require additional protective coating or anodizing (unlike steel ones), as it has natural corrosion resistance.
The Kolchuga® skid plate provides comprehensive coverage for the engine and gearbox, ensuring vital components are shielded from impacts. With features such as reinforcing ribs and ventilation openings, this protection enhances structural integrity while allowing optimal airflow for cooling. Some models include service access openings for quick maintenance, making oil changes hassle-free without removing the skid plate.
This skid plate effectively guards against damage from rocks, ice, curbs, and speed bumps. By installing this protection, you not only enhance mechanical safety but also reduce the risk of corrosion and improve the vehicle's aerodynamics. The installation process is straightforward, utilizing factory mounting points without the need for drilling or modifications.
How does Kolchuga® protection differ from the factory one? The factory (stock) protection is typically a plastic dust cover (splash guard) or thin composite material. Its main function is protection from dirt and dust. In contrast, Kolchuga® protection is a durable metal plate (steel or aluminum) that serves as a mechanical shield. It provides reliable protection from impacts against rocks, branches, or open manholes. The key difference: Factory protection guards against dirt, while Kolchuga® guards against impact.

Is Kolchuga® skid plate compatible with Honda CR-V petrol engines?
Yes, the Kolchuga® skid plate is specifically designed to be compatible with petrol engine models of the Honda CR-V (2016-2019). It provides tailored protection for the engine and gearbox, which are critical components in petrol vehicles. The skid plate is available in two robust materials: 3 mm thick aluminum or 2 mm thick steel, offering options based on your driving needs. Both materials are engineered to withstand harsh conditions, protecting vital components from damage. Choosing this skid plate means ensuring that your vehicle is equipped to handle rough roads while maintaining optimal engine performance.
What are the advantages of using aluminum vs. steel skid plates?
The Kolchuga® skid plate offers two material options: 3 mm thick aluminum and 2 mm thick steel, each with distinct advantages. Aluminum is lighter, which can improve fuel efficiency and performance, while still providing excellent protection against impacts. On the other hand, steel offers superior durability and resistance to abrasions, making it ideal for off-road conditions. Both options come with protective coatings—WhiteCover® or ZiPoFlex®—enhancing corrosion resistance. Your choice depends on driving habits; for off-road enthusiasts, steel may be preferable, while everyday drivers might opt for the lightweight aluminum version.
What coverage area does the Kolchuga® skid plate provide for CR-V?
The Kolchuga® skid plate for the Honda CR-V (2016-2019) covers both the gearbox and engine, ensuring comprehensive protection against road debris and harsh terrain. This targeted design minimizes the risk of damage to vital components like the oil pan and transmission. With its robust construction—either 3 mm aluminum or 2 mm steel—this skid plate acts as a formidable barrier. Additionally, it is custom-engineered to fit seamlessly, maintaining the vehicle’s ground clearance and aerodynamics. Utilizing this skid plate means your vehicle is better protected, enhancing durability and reliability in all driving conditions.
How does the coating affect the durability of the skid plate?
The Kolchuga® skid plate features advanced coatings such as WhiteCover® and ZiPoFlex®, which significantly enhance durability and longevity. WhiteCover® combines steel with a zinc layer, providing excellent corrosion resistance, while ZiPoFlex® offers a comprehensive protective finish that includes zinc, paint, and varnish. These coatings protect against rust and wear, especially in harsh weather conditions or when driving through mud and water. By investing in a Kolchuga® skid plate, you're ensuring that your engine and gearbox remain safeguarded from environmental factors, ultimately enhancing the lifespan of your vehicle components.
What thickness options are available for the Kolchuga® skid plate?
The Kolchuga® skid plate for the Honda CR-V (2016-2019) comes in two thickness options: 3 mm aluminum and 2 mm steel. The aluminum variant is lightweight yet highly durable, making it ideal for urban driving and occasional off-road adventures. Conversely, the steel option, with its 2 mm thickness, offers enhanced strength and resistance to impacts, perfect for heavy-duty off-road usage. Both materials are designed to withstand harsh conditions and provide robust protection for your vehicle's engine and gearbox. Choosing the right thickness depends on your driving style and the terrain you typically encounter, ensuring you get the most out of your investment.
