Enhance the durability of your Kia Niro EV (2016-2022) with the Kolchuga® skid plate, expertly crafted from 2 mm thick steel. This robust protection acts as a shield for your electric vehicle's underbody, safeguarding critical components from damage caused by road hazards. With its sturdy construction, the skid plate ensures your vehicle remains in optimal condition, even in challenging driving environments.
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 |
This skid plate provides comprehensive coverage for the radiator and electric engine, ensuring that these vital components are shielded from potential impacts. Designed with reinforcing ribs and ventilation openings, it maintains optimal airflow and temperature regulation, while also offering service access for maintenance tasks.
The Kolchuga® skid plate effectively protects against damage from rocks, ice, dirt, curbs, and speed bumps, enhancing the longevity of your vehicle. Its mechanical protection reduces corrosion and improves aerodynamics, while installation is straightforward, mounting directly to factory points without the need for drilling.
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.
