Does the 2017 Bora have a rear anti-collision beam?
2 Answers
2017 Bora is equipped with a rear anti-collision beam. Here is the relevant information: 1. Since the rear anti-collision beam is hidden inside the rear bumper, many car owners are completely unaware that their vehicle does not have a rear anti-collision beam installed, nor do they understand the role of the anti-collision beam. In fact, the function of the rear bumper is to absorb impact force. For minor collisions, it is designed to sacrifice the rear bumper to ensure the integrity of the vehicle's chassis and prevent deformation. 2. Without a rear anti-collision beam, the protection against minor collisions is precisely what is missing, leading to greater damage to the vehicle body because the rear vehicle directly impacts the rear part of the axle through the plastic bumper.
I've been into cars for years and know the Volkswagen Bora quite well. The 2017 Bora's rear anti-collision steel beam is absolutely solid, made of steel material that effectively absorbs impact to protect passengers and the luggage area. This design performs well in crash tests, like the high C-NCAP rating in China. If you're concerned, just avoid tailgating too aggressively in daily driving, and check for deformations or rust around the rear bumper during maintenance to prevent accidents. Also, a friend of mine had a minor scrape with this car—the steel beam was fine and repairs were quick, much safer than cars without one, making trips more reassuring. In short, choosing the Bora is smart—safety comes first.
