Does the Camry come with underbody armor?
2 Answers
The Camry does not come with underbody armor. If financial conditions permit, underbody armor can be applied. The functions and application method of underbody armor are as follows: Functions of underbody armor: Primarily prevents direct damage to the underbody from road gravel and bumps. The sound insulation effect of underbody armor effectively blocks noise from entering the cabin, providing a quiet and comfortable environment while driving. Method for applying underbody armor: Lift the vehicle to a certain height, use a rust remover to spray and remove rust from any rusted areas, then wipe dry with a cloth; use the first bottle of underbody armor for the initial application, ensuring even coverage during the process; the first bottle serves as a base, and several more bottles should be applied afterward; after application, allow the vehicle to dry naturally.
I drive a 2019 Camry, and after a few years, I noticed that the factory chassis does have some anti-rust coating, but it's not a true chassis armor. That kind of armor is more like aftermarket metal or plastic protective plates, which offer better protection against stone chips and rust. The factory coating isn't very durable in rainy northern areas and is prone to corrosion. I recommend new car owners check the integrity of the chassis coating when picking up their cars—many 4S shops will upsell aftermarket services. You can also install it yourself, with prices ranging from a few hundred to over a thousand yuan. Regular cleaning of the chassis and avoiding salt buildup can extend its lifespan. As an owner, I make a point to pay attention to this during routine maintenance, saving money and ensuring peace of mind. The Camry itself is a good car, but proactively strengthening protection is a wise choice.
