Engine & Gearbox Skid Plate for Hyundai Santa Fe (2024-) V generation (MX5) | Kolchuga®
Protect your Hyundai Santa Fe (2024-) V generation (MX5) with Kolchuga® skid plates, engineered to provide robust defense for your vehicle's underbody. Available in two material options—2 mm thick steel or 3 mm thick aluminum (AluOx®)—these skid plates serve as a shield for your engine, safeguarding it from potential damage caused by road hazards. With Kolchuga®, you ensure that your engine and gearbox remain secure against impacts from below.
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.
This skid plate specifically covers the engine and gearbox areas, providing comprehensive protection against impacts. Its construction includes reinforcing ribs and strategically placed ventilation openings that help maintain optimal temperatures while preventing overheating of critical components. Additionally, service access openings allow for easy maintenance without removing the protection.
The Kolchuga® skid plate effectively shields against damaging elements such as rocks, ice, and road debris while also enhancing aerodynamics. By reducing the ingress of dirt and moisture, it helps prolong the life of your vehicle's critical components. Installation is straightforward, mounting 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.
