Radiator, Gearbox & Engine Skid Plate for Toyota Prius V (2009-2015) III generation (XW30) | Kolchuga®
Ensure your Toyota Prius V (2009-2015) III generation (XW30) remains shielded from the harshest road conditions with Kolchuga® engine protection. This protection is made from durable 2 mm steel, designed to act as a robust barrier against impacts. It serves as a mechanical shield for your engine oil pan and transmission, preventing damage that could lead to costly repairs. With Kolchuga®, you gain peace of mind knowing your vehicle is safeguarded against the unexpected.
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 critical areas including the radiator, gearbox, and engine. Its engineered design features reinforcing ribs and ventilation openings, allowing for optimal airflow while maintaining structural integrity. Additionally, service access openings facilitate quick maintenance without the need to remove the protection.
Kolchuga® protection effectively guards against damage from rocks, ice, dirt, curbs, and speed bumps. This protection not only minimizes the risk of punctures and leaks but also reduces corrosion by preventing dirt and moisture from entering the engine bay. Installation is straightforward, as it mounts directly to the 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.
