Gearbox & Engine Skid Plate for Buick Envision (2020-) II generation incl. Facelift | Kolchuga®
Protect your Buick Envision (2020-) II generation with Kolchuga® skid plates, available in two robust materials: 2 mm thick steel or 3 mm thick aluminum (AluOx®). This protection acts as a mechanical shield for your engine and gearbox, safeguarding these critical components from damage caused by road hazards. With Kolchuga®, you can drive with confidence, knowing your vehicle is equipped with a reliable defense against impacts.
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 critical areas, including the engine and gearbox, ensuring comprehensive protection. It features reinforcing ribs for added durability and ventilation openings to maintain optimal temperature conditions. Additionally, service access openings allow for easy maintenance, making it practical for everyday use.
Kolchuga® skid plates provide robust defense against impacts from rocks, ice, and other road debris, significantly reducing the risk of damage to vital components. The installation process is straightforward, mounting directly to factory points without the need for drilling or modifications, ensuring a perfect 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.
