Engine & Gearbox Skid Plate for Hyundai Palisade (2018-2026) I generation (LX2) incl. Facelift | Kolchuga®
Protect your Hyundai Palisade (2018-2026) with Kolchuga® skid plates, designed specifically for this model. Available in two robust materials, either 2 mm thick steel or 3 mm thick aluminum (AluOx®), these skid plates serve as a mechanical shield for your engine and gearbox. They are engineered to absorb impacts, safeguarding critical components from damage caused by road hazards. Elevate your vehicle's protection with this essential accessory.
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 covers the engine and gearbox, providing comprehensive protection against impacts from rocks, ice, and other road debris. The construction features reinforcing ribs and ventilation openings that enhance its rigidity while ensuring optimal airflow to maintain engine temperature. Additionally, some models include service access openings for easy oil changes without the need to remove the protection.
Kolchuga® skid plates protect against potential damage from rocks, ice, curbs, and speed bumps. By preventing impacts to critical components, they extend vehicle life and reduce maintenance costs. 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.
