An underbody cladding element includes a first air channelling region, a second air channelling region disposed at a rear end of the underbody cladding element, and a flow separation edge. The flow separation edge is disposed behind the second air channelling region in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. An air flow channelled along the second air channelling region is detachable in a defined manner at the flow separation edge when the vehicle is travelling forward. A longitudinal region of the flow separation edge is configured unevenly in a first plane projected onto a second plane defined by a transverse direction of the vehicle and the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The flow separation edge has a basic body which is curved downward in the vertical direction of the vehicle.
