Gearbox & Engine Skid Plate for Lexus ES 200 (2018-) VII generation (AXZH10) incl. Facelift | Kolchuga®
Protect your Lexus ES 200 (2018-) VII generation (AXZH10) with the premium Kolchuga® skid plate, designed to shield critical components such as the engine and gearbox. This protection is available in two robust materials: 2 mm thick steel or the lightweight 3 mm thick AluOx® aluminum. With Kolchuga®, you gain a mechanical shield that defends against the harsh impacts of road hazards, ensuring your vehicle remains in optimal condition.
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, providing comprehensive protection against impacts from rocks, curbs, and road debris. Its construction features reinforcing ribs for added strength and ventilation openings that maintain optimal cooling for the engine and transmission. Additionally, service access openings allow for quick oil and filter changes without removing the protection.
With Kolchuga® protection, your Lexus ES 200 is safeguarded from mechanical damage, which can lead to costly repairs. The installation is straightforward, as it mounts 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.

Is the Kolchuga® skid plate compatible with Lexus ES 200 facelift?
Yes, the Kolchuga® skid plate is specifically designed to be compatible with both the standard and facelift versions of the Lexus ES 200 (2018-) VII generation (AXZH10). This ensures that it not only fits perfectly but also provides comprehensive coverage for critical components like the engine and gearbox. Available in two material options—2 mm steel or 3 mm AluOx® aluminum—this skid plate offers flexibility based on your protection needs. Choosing the right material will depend on your driving style and the typical road conditions you encounter, ensuring your Lexus remains well-protected.
What are the advantages of using aluminum vs steel skid plates?
The Kolchuga® skid plate offers both aluminum (3 mm thick) and steel (2 mm thick) options, each with distinct advantages. Aluminum is lightweight, which can enhance your vehicle's performance and fuel efficiency, while still providing significant protection. On the other hand, steel is denser and can withstand more substantial impacts, which is ideal for off-road conditions. Both materials come with protective coatings—WhiteCover® for steel and ZiPoFlex® for aluminum—ensuring longevity against corrosion. Depending on your driving habits and needs, choosing the right material can greatly enhance your Lexus ES 200's resilience against road hazards.
What areas does the Kolchuga® skid plate cover on Lexus ES 200?
The Kolchuga® skid plate is designed to cover critical areas of your Lexus ES 200 (2018-) VII generation, specifically the engine and gearbox. This comprehensive coverage protects essential components from road debris, impacts, and harsh driving conditions. The skid plate's robust design ensures that it can withstand severe impacts, extending the life of your vehicle's undercarriage. By investing in this protection, you can drive with confidence knowing that your Lexus is safeguarded against potential damage, which can save you costly repairs down the line.
What is the weight of the Kolchuga® skid plate for Lexus ES 200?
The weight of the Kolchuga® skid plate varies depending on the material chosen. The aluminum version weighs approximately 7 kg due to its lightweight design, while the steel version weighs around 10 kg, providing a more robust structure. This difference in weight can affect the vehicle's handling slightly; however, both options are engineered for optimal performance and protection. It's essential to consider how each material aligns with your driving style and the type of protection you require for your Lexus ES 200, ensuring you make an informed choice.
How does the coating on Kolchuga® skid plate enhance protection?
The Kolchuga® skid plate features advanced coatings that enhance its protective capabilities. The steel version is coated with WhiteCover®, which combines zinc and a protective layer to resist corrosion, while the aluminum variant uses ZiPoFlex®, offering a similar level of protection with additional paint and varnish layers. These coatings are critical in preventing rust and degradation, particularly in harsh environments. By using a coated skid plate, you ensure that your Lexus ES 200's undercarriage remains shielded, prolonging the lifespan of both the skid plate and your vehicle's components.
