Does the new Lavida have an engine guard plate?

[IslaDella]

The new Lavida does not come with an engine guard plate. Here is some information about engine guard plates: 1. The engine guard plate is a customized protective device designed specifically for different vehicle models. It prevents mud from covering the engine, which could lead to poor heat dissipation. 2. The engine guard plate protects the engine from impacts caused by uneven road surfaces, thereby preventing engine damage. Through its design, it extends the engine's lifespan and avoids external factors during travel that could lead to engine failure or vehicle breakdown. 3. The engine guard plate helps keep the engine compartment clean by preventing road water and dust from entering. It also shields the engine from hard objects like gravel kicked up by the tires during driving.

I previously drove a New Lavida, and to be honest, the factory-installed engine guard plate is not standard on every model. Mine was the entry-level version, and the underside was completely exposed—it was quite worrying when driving on gravel roads. Later, I went to the 4S dealership and installed a plastic guard plate for just over 100 yuan. The installation process was simple, and it mainly protects the engine from road debris or water splashes. This guard plate is crucial for urban driving safety, especially during the rainy season or on muddy roads, as it helps extend the engine's lifespan. I also recommend that car owners check the configuration list before purchasing or directly ask the dealer, as higher-end models might come with a factory-installed one. In short, don’t overlook this small detail—over time, you’ll appreciate its benefits, saving both money and hassle.

I'm recently considering buying a new car and specifically compared the engine guard plate issue with the New Lavida. In the factory configuration, the base version usually doesn't come with one, but the top trim or sport version might have an aluminum guard plate. I went to the auto show to check the actual car - if there isn't one, it can be handled as an aftermarket part, costing between 200-500 yuan, and installation isn't complicated. The guard plate serves more than just crash protection; it also reduces noise and dust accumulation. For city driving, the guard plate isn't urgently needed, but it's quite necessary for long-distance or rural roads. When buying a car, it's best to check the manual or peek underneath during a test drive. Don't rush the decision - getting advice from after-sales friends is more reliable.

I just bought a new Lavida and found that the chassis inspection indeed doesn't include a standard underbody guard. The guard is a metal or plastic plate that protects the engine bottom from stone impacts or water accumulation corrosion. Installation was easy, I finished it in half an hour, which enhanced my driving safety. I recommend checking the official website for configurations before purchase, as there are significant differences between versions.

As the owner of a family car, I found that the new Lavida lacks an original underbody guard, and I'm particularly concerned about my child's safety when riding in the car. The guard can prevent road debris from damaging the engine and reduce repair costs. High-end models may come with it, but mid to low-end models usually require aftermarket installation. The steps are simple: find a professional shop, choose high-quality materials, and don't skimp for the sake of convenience. This bit of protection is crucial for daily commuting.

I discussed the engine guard of the new Lavida in the car owner group, and most owners said it didn't come with the factory. Adding a guard is quite worthwhile as it helps protect against gravel and mud, especially giving more peace of mind during rainy or snowy days. Before purchasing, check the model details, or directly install a third-party one, which costs around 200 yuan.
