What is the name of the panel under the car?

It is called the engine underguard. More extended information is as follows:1. Introduction to the engine underguard: The engine underguard is a panel installed at the bottom of the engine. Its main function is to prevent damage to the engine bottom caused by bumps when driving on uneven roads. It is a customized engine protection device designed for various vehicle models. The primary purpose is to prevent mud from covering the engine and to protect the engine from damage due to impacts from uneven road surfaces during driving. Through a series of designs, it extends the engine's service life and avoids car breakdowns caused by external factors damaging the engine during travel. 2. Function of the car underguard: It keeps the engine compartment clean, prevents road water and dust from entering the engine compartment, and protects the engine from being struck by hard objects like sand and stones kicked up by tires during driving.
That protective plate under the car chassis, we all call it the engine guard. This thing mounts directly beneath the engine, specifically designed to withstand stone impacts and undercarriage scrapes. OEM versions are mostly plastic, decent at blocking mud splashes, but if you frequently drive on rough roads, upgrading to magnesium-aluminum alloy is recommended – it doubles the impact resistance. Always choose vehicle-specific molded versions, otherwise it may affect ground clearance and cause annoying rattles. Last time I drove through a construction site without one, a rock punctured my oil pan – a painful lesson proving these guards aren't just for show.
