What's the Difference Between 2021 Undercarriage vs. 2022 Undercarriage

[Greg Jake]

Hey crew. I'm Greg Jake and I've been looking everywhere online for an undercarriage for my '22 GT Line. All I can seem to find are 2018-2021 models.
Is there a difference between '21 and '22?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Define "undercarriage".

Define "undercarriage".

The paper thin front portion of the car that protects the engine under the front bumper. Mine has fallen off twice. So I’m trying to find a replacement without having to shell out hundreds at the dealership.

Kia calls it lower deflector. 2018-2021 Kia Stinger Lower Deflector 29110-J5000 | Parts Mayday Pretty sure '22+ uses the same part number. It's an OEM part, so you'll have to get it from dealer parts dept or any of the online Kia OEM parts supplies. If you are lucky, ebay might have one from a parted out Stinger when you do a search. High demand item, so any used ones that show up get snatched up fast.

If yours has fallen out twice, it is likely not installed properly, or the fasteners are not all there.

I call those undercarriage panels. and if yours isn't ripped or creased it should be good enough to keep. just make sure it's mounted above the bumper cover. that's what @Volfy means by "installed properly". and as said, that you have all the clips, and I would add make sure that they are in good shape and not worn or sloppy.

It fell while I was on a highway about 40 miles from home. So, it's pretty ripped up along the front edge. Luckily some of the screw/snap on holes were still intact, so I was able to zip tie it back on but there is about a softball size hole that is exposed. I threw some duct tape over it for the time being.
I appreciate the links and info. I will start my search. Appreciate it!
