2021 Teana has an underbody guard. Below is relevant supplementary information: 1. 2021 Teana: The new Teana adds a resin-made guard plate below the spare tire compartment, which can guide the airflow at the rear of the car to some extent, ultimately reducing noise and fuel consumption. 2. Underbody guard: It is mainly an engine protection device designed around the vehicle model and the original mounting holes near the engine frame. Its primary design purpose is to prevent damage to the engine caused by protruding stones on the road, and secondly to prevent mud and sewage from entering the engine compartment during driving, which could lead to engine failure. Through the original 3D chassis design, it provides comprehensive protection for the engine, avoiding potential breakdowns due to external factors during travel and prolonging the engine's service life.
I've worked on quite a few Altima models, especially the 2021 version, so let's talk about the underbody shield. Generally speaking, in the factory configuration, the base models of the 2021 Nissan Altima don't come standard with an underbody shield – the lower trims like the Comfort or Elite editions have exposed undercarriages. But if you opt for higher-end trims like the top Platinum version or certain special packages, they might include a plastic shield. How to check? Just peek under the car to see if there's a large panel covering the engine area. If not, don't worry – adding one is easy: head to an auto shop and spend 300-500 yuan to install a plastic one. It won't add weight but will protect against flying debris. With the shield installed, you'll notice less noise on rough roads, and it prevents oil pan damage from impacts – I've seen many owners suffer costly repairs from this. Remember to inspect the undercarriage during regular maintenance; this habit can significantly extend your car's lifespan.
