Kia Sportage Hood

The hood is one of the biggest auto body parts that are located in the front end of your car. The hood is considered both a door and an opening body panel. It allows an easy entry point to access your engine compartment and serves to cover and protect it as well. This makes it easier for anyone to check on their engines especially in cases of emergency. Maintaining the parts inside the engine bay is easier because the hood gives you easy access for maintenance and repair; you can check it regularly to make sure everything is working perfectly okay.

The hood has an inner panel and outer panel like what the door has and not just a sheet of metal, which is why it is also considered a door. The inner panel has a sound absorbing material which can mask the noise of the engine that’s working under it and an underside that has bracings that crisscross to make it stronger. The outer panel serves as a cover to protect the engine and other engine components from elements that can cause it any damage. There are different designs for hoods but basically it is a flat sheet of metal that contours to the shape of the car. Hoods are usually made of steel, aluminum, or carbon fiber but fiber glass is now also being used as material. Hoods made from carbon fiber are lightweight and designed primarily for extreme driving.

Sports, trucks and SUVs and other performance have hoods equipped with special accessories like openings which allow the engine to inhale and exhale easier. The hood scoops are used to channel the air directly towards the air filter which helps in the performance and efficiency improvement of the vehicle. The opening that faces towards the nose of the vehicle is designed to draw in the cooler outside air, meaning more oxygen would be coming in for the internal combustion engine and thus improving the performance of your engine. The openings facing towards the windshield are designed to release the hot air under the hood. Other cars also feature hoods with ornaments, power bulge or wiper jets which not only are ornamental but it can also help the engine to inhale and exhale easier like the hood scoops.

The location of your Kia Sportage Hood leaves it vulnerable to the different road hazards.
