Front electric engine Skid Plate for Kia EV6 (2021-) I generation (CV) incl. Facelift | Kolchuga®
Protect your Kia EV6 (2021-) with Kolchuga® skid plates, designed to provide robust defense for your vehicle's vital components. Crafted from either 2 mm thick steel or 3 mm thick aluminum (AluOx®), these skid plates act as a shield for your oil pan, engine, and other critical underbody parts. Engineered for perfect compatibility, they ensure maximum durability and reliability against impacts from road hazards.
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.
Coverage for the front electric engine ensures that critical components are shielded from damage. The construction features reinforcing ribs and ventilation openings that enhance rigidity while allowing for optimal airflow, thus preventing overheating. Service access openings are included for quick maintenance, making it easy to change oil and filters without removing the skid plate.
Kolchuga® skid plates protect against impacts from rocks, ice, dirt, curbs, and speed bumps, ensuring that your vehicle remains in optimal condition. The installation is straightforward, mounting directly to factory points without the need for drilling or modifications. This not only provides mechanical protection but also reduces corrosion and improves aerodynamics.
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.
