Protect your Cadillac XT5 (2016-) with Kolchuga® skid plate, made from high-quality steel with a thickness of 2 mm. This robust protection serves as a mechanical shield for your engine and gearbox, safeguarding critical components from damage caused by road debris and obstacles. With its durable design, this skid plate acts as a reliable barrier, ensuring that your vehicle remains in optimal condition.
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 covers the engine and gearbox, ensuring comprehensive protection against potential impacts. Its construction features reinforcing ribs that enhance rigidity and shock absorption. Additionally, ventilation openings are included to maintain proper airflow, preventing overheating of critical components.
This protection is designed to withstand impacts from rocks, ice, and curbs, significantly reducing the risk of damage to vital parts. The installation process is straightforward, mounting directly to factory points without the need for drilling or modifications, ensuring a hassle-free setup.
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.
