Radiator, Gearbox & Engine Skid Plate for Kia Soul (2014-2019) II generation (PS) | Kolchuga®
Protect your Kia Soul (2014-2019) II generation (PS) with Kolchuga® skid plates, crafted from durable 2 mm steel. This robust protection acts as a shield for your engine, oil pan, and transmission, safeguarding these critical components against the rigors of the road. Designed for perfect compatibility, it ensures that your vehicle remains shielded from impacts and wear, enhancing its longevity.
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 skid plate effectively covers the radiator, gearbox, and engine, providing comprehensive protection against road debris and impacts. It features strategically placed ventilation openings to maintain optimal cooling for the engine and transmission. Additionally, service access openings allow for quick oil and filter changes without the need to remove the entire protection.
Kolchuga® protection shields your Kia Soul from rocks, ice, dirt, curbs, and speed bumps, enhancing the durability of your vehicle. Its installation is straightforward, mounting directly to factory points without the need for drilling or modifications, ensuring mechanical protection while reducing corrosion and improving aerodynamics.
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.
