Will the chassis of Tayron rust when passing through water?

The chassis will not rust as it has undergone anti-rust treatment during the original factory production. Introduction to the chassis: The chassis refers to the combination of the transmission system, running system, steering system, and braking system in a vehicle. It supports and installs the car's engine and its various components and assemblies, forming the overall shape of the car, bearing the engine's power, and ensuring normal driving. Functions of the chassis: The chassis functions to support and install the car's engine and its various components and assemblies, forming the overall shape of the car. It also receives the engine's power to generate motion, ensuring normal driving. Additionally, a good chassis can ensure the driver's safety.
As an SUV owner who frequently drives on rural muddy roads with my Tayron, I can say that rust on the chassis mainly depends on whether the coating remains intact. The Tayron comes with factory-applied anti-rust treatment on the chassis, so driving through waterlogged roads occasionally isn't an issue. However, if the coating gets scraped off by rocks and the chassis is left covered in mud and water for extended periods without cleaning, the exposed metal will gradually corrode. Last month, my neighbor's car had its exhaust pipe bracket rust through entirely - a direct consequence of repeated mud accumulation without proper cleaning. My advice is: don't skimp on car washes after water crossings. Pay special attention to flushing out debris from chassis crevices and suspension joints, especially after driving on roads treated with de-icing agents during snow or rain, as these are particularly corrosive. I recommend an annual chassis inspection, applying anti-rust sealant to any areas where the paint has chipped away.
