Gearbox & Engine Skid Plate for Hyundai Santa Fe (2020-2024) IV generation (TM) Facelift | Kolchuga®
Enhance the protection of your Hyundai Santa Fe (2020-2024) IV generation (TM) Facelift with Kolchuga® skid plates. Available in two robust materials, choose between 2 mm thick steel or the premium 3 mm thick aluminum AluOx® alloy. This protection acts as a formidable shield for your engine and gearbox, safeguarding these critical components from damage caused by road hazards. With Kolchuga®, you can drive with confidence knowing that your vehicle is well-protected against impacts.
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.
The skid plate provides coverage for both the engine and gearbox, ensuring that these essential components remain protected from external impacts. Its construction features reinforcing ribs and ventilation openings that facilitate airflow, maintaining optimal temperatures while preventing overheating. Additionally, service access openings allow for quick maintenance without the need to remove the protection.
This Kolchuga® skid plate effectively shields against damage from rocks, ice, curbs, and other road debris, offering significant mechanical protection. Its design contributes to reduced corrosion and improved aerodynamics, enhancing vehicle performance. Installation is straightforward, as the skid plate mounts directly to factory 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.
