Plastic tabs on underside just ahead of rear wheels...

[RonDel]

Does anyone know what the official function or purpose of the plastic tabs are just ahead of the rear wheel wells?

They look almost like miniature mud flaps, but they're on the forward side of the rear wheels...

It’s for aerodynamics.

2025 sx prestige x-line - purchased Oct2024.
our vehicle has the tabs. I first noticed them earlier this week and wondered the same. I even checked both sides of the vehicle...felt better after confirming the tab was in fact in both wheel wells.

Mine is a 2025 SX-P. I have also seen them on 2024 and 2025 X-Line and X-Pro Tellurides when I was shopping around. If you watch reviews on Youtube you can clearly see them if the camera angle allows. The pics in my first post show both the SX-P, and the SX-P X-Pro. If you had your running boards installed at the factory, it's possible they were left off to accommodate the installation of the running boards. Those tabs are also on the Hyundai-Palisade.

Both were ordered with running boards..
