Engine & Gearbox Skid Plate for Hyundai Tucson (2020-) IV generation (NX4) incl. Facelift | Kolchuga®
Protect your Hyundai Tucson (2020-) IV generation (NX4) with Kolchuga® skid plates, available in either 2 mm thick steel or 3 mm thick aluminum (AluOx®). These premium skid plates serve as a robust shield for your engine, oil pan, and gearbox, safeguarding against potential damage from road hazards. Designed specifically for your vehicle model, they provide essential protection that enhances your driving experience.
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, ensuring comprehensive protection against impacts from below. Its construction includes reinforcing ribs for added strength and strategically placed ventilation openings that prevent overheating while maintaining optimal airflow. Service access openings allow for quick oil changes without needing to remove the entire protection.
Kolchuga® skid plates effectively guard against damage from rocks, ice, curbs, and speed bumps, ensuring your vehicle remains in top condition. The installation process is straightforward, as it mounts directly onto factory points without the need for drilling or modifications. This design not only enhances mechanical protection but also minimizes corrosion and improves 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.
