Engine & Gearbox Skid Plate for Mazda CX-5 (2012-2017) I generation (KE) incl. Facelift | Kolchuga®
Protect your Mazda CX-5 (2012-2017) with the robust Kolchuga® skid plate, designed to shield your engine and gearbox from harsh road conditions. This protection is available in two materials: a durable 2 mm thick steel or a lightweight 3 mm thick aluminum (AluOx®) version. Acting as a mechanical shield, it defends against impacts from rocks, curbs, and other debris, ensuring your vehicle remains in optimal condition. Enhance your vehicle's resilience with this essential accessory that prioritizes safety and durability.
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.
Covering the engine and gearbox, this skid plate features reinforcing ribs that enhance structural integrity and shock-absorbing elements that help dissipate impact energy. Additionally, it includes ventilation openings to maintain optimal temperature levels and service access openings for easy oil changes, ensuring practicality without sacrificing protection.
This skid plate offers exceptional protection against impacts from rocks, ice, and curbs, safeguarding vital components from damage. Its installation is straightforward, as it mounts directly to the factory points without the need for drilling, making it a hassle-free upgrade to your vehicle's underbody protection.
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.
