Engine & Gearbox Skid Plate for Mazda CX-9 (2016-) II generation (TC) incl. Facelift | Kolchuga®
Protect your Mazda CX-9 (2016-) II generation (TC) with the Kolchuga® skid plate, designed to provide robust underbody defense. Available in either 2 mm thick steel or 3 mm thick aluminum (AluOx®), this protection acts as a mechanical shield for critical components such as the engine and gearbox. With this skid plate, you can ensure your vehicle remains safeguarded against road hazards, providing peace of mind during your travels.
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 covers the engine and gearbox, ensuring comprehensive protection against potential impacts. Its construction features reinforcing ribs that enhance rigidity and shock absorption, while strategically placed ventilation openings maintain optimal temperature and airflow. Furthermore, service access openings allow for easy maintenance without the need to remove the protection.
This skid plate effectively shields your vehicle from rocks, ice, dirt, curbs, and speed bumps, mitigating damage from common road hazards. Its installation is straightforward, mounting directly to factory points without any drilling or modifications, thus preserving the vehicle's integrity.
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.
