Engine & Gearbox Skid Plate for Subaru Crosstrek (2023-) III generation (GU) | Kolchuga®
Protect your Subaru Crosstrek (2023-) III generation (GU) with Kolchuga® skid plates, crafted from durable 2 mm steel. This robust protection acts as a shield for your engine and gearbox, guarding against potential damage from road hazards. Designed specifically for your vehicle, this skid plate ensures a perfect fit while enhancing the longevity of critical components.
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 |
This skid plate covers the engine and gearbox, providing comprehensive protection against impacts. Its design incorporates reinforcing ribs that enhance rigidity and shock absorption, while ventilation openings ensure optimal thermal management. Service access openings allow for easy maintenance without removing the plate.
Kolchuga® protection effectively shields your vehicle from rocks, ice, dirt, curbs, and speed bumps. By preventing damage to critical components, it reduces maintenance needs and enhances the vehicle's aerodynamic profile. Installation is straightforward, with no drilling required, as the skid plate mounts directly to factory points.
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.
