Engine & Gearbox Skid Plate for Lexus ES 250 (2018-) VII generation (AXZH10) incl. Facelift | Kolchuga®
Protect your Lexus ES 250 (2018-) VII generation (AXZH10) with the Kolchuga® skid plate, available in two durable materials: 2 mm thick steel or 3 mm thick aluminum (AluOx®). This essential protection acts as a shield for your engine and gearbox, guarding against potential damage from road hazards. Designed for a perfect fit, it ensures your vehicle's critical components stay safe under various driving conditions.
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 features coverage for both the engine and gearbox, ensuring comprehensive protection. Its construction includes reinforcing ribs and strategically placed ventilation openings, which enhance impact absorption while maintaining optimal airflow for cooling. The design also incorporates service access openings, allowing for easy maintenance without removing the protection.
Kolchuga® protection defends against impacts from rocks, ice, dirt, curbs, and speed bumps. This robust shield not only enhances mechanical protection but also reduces the risk of corrosion and improves aerodynamics. Installation is straightforward, attaching seamlessly to factory mounting points without the need for drilling or modifications.
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.
