Engine, Radiator & Gearbox Skid Plate for Toyota Prius (2009-2015) III generation (XW30) | Kolchuga®
Protect your Toyota Prius (2009-2015) III generation (XW30) with Kolchuga® engine protection, made from durable 2 mm steel. This shield acts as a robust barrier for your vehicle's critical components, ensuring they remain safe from damage caused by road hazards. Designed to absorb impacts, it serves as a reliable defense for your engine and oil pan against the elements on the road.
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 protection covers the engine, radiator, and gearbox, ensuring comprehensive safeguarding of your vehicle's essential components. The design includes reinforcing ribs and ventilation openings, which help maintain optimal temperature and prevent overheating. Additionally, many models feature service access openings that facilitate oil and filter changes without removing the protection.
Kolchuga® protection effectively defends against damage from rocks, ice, curbs, and speed bumps, which can lead to costly repairs. Its installation enhances mechanical protection, reduces corrosion exposure, and improves aerodynamics. The mounting process is straightforward, with no drilling required, as it attaches directly to the factory mounting points.
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.
