Does the Volkswagen Tiguan need underbody armor?
2 Answers
Volkswagen Tiguan cars should have underbody armor. The specific reasons are as follows: 1. Underbody armor can prevent small stones from hitting the car's underbody. During driving, small stones may be kicked up and hit the underbody, causing damage over time. 2. Underbody armor can prevent raised areas from causing wear to the car's underbody. On different road surfaces, there may be raised areas that cause wear to the underbody. Adding underbody armor can prevent this wear. 3. Underbody armor can isolate heat and maintain the temperature inside the car, thereby reducing fuel consumption. When the ground temperature is high, the car's underbody can conduct heat into the interior. If the air conditioning is on, more fuel will be needed to lower the interior temperature.
As a regular Volkswagen Tiguan owner who frequently drives in rainy and snowy regions, I've been driving this car for almost two years, and I think the underbody coating is quite useful. Because in our area, roads are heavily salted in winter, which can easily cause the underbody to rust, especially since I often drive on bumpy roads. The underbody coating protects the car's underside from stone chips or corrosion, extending the vehicle's lifespan. The Tiguan is an SUV with a naturally more exposed underbody, and without the coating, rust issues would emerge in a few years, leading to costly and troublesome repairs. I remember that getting the coating done only costs a few hundred bucks—not too expensive—but in the long run, it saves on maintenance costs. If I parked mostly in underground garages in the city, I might not need it as much, but for someone like me who frequently goes on long road trips, having it installed gives much more peace of mind. Doing it when the car is new is the most hassle-free, avoiding mid-journey safety risks. Oh, and after the coating, it also reduces wind noise, making highway driving quieter—overall, it's a pretty good deal.
