Gearbox & Engine Skid Plate for Mazda CX-5 (2017-) II generation (KF) incl. Facelift | Kolchuga®
Protect your Mazda CX-5 (2017-) II generation (KF) with Kolchuga® skid plates, designed to safeguard your engine and gearbox. Made from either 2 mm thick steel or 3 mm thick aluminum (AluOx®), these plates serve as a robust shield against mechanical damage. With the power to absorb impacts from rough terrains, they ensure that your vehicle's vital components remain intact.
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.
This skid plate specifically covers the engine and gearbox areas, providing comprehensive protection against various road hazards. Its construction features include reinforcing ribs that enhance rigidity and ventilation openings that ensure optimal airflow for cooling. Additionally, service access openings allow for quick oil and filter changes without needing to remove the protection.
The Kolchuga® skid plates effectively protect against impacts from rocks, ice, curbs, and speed bumps, significantly reducing the risk of damage to your vehicle's crucial components. Installation is straightforward, as it mounts directly to the factory points without the need for drilling or modifications, ensuring a secure fit.
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.
