Does the 2019 Bora have an anti-collision beam?

2019 Bora has an anti-collision beam, which is a device used to absorb collision energy and reduce the impact when the vehicle is involved in a collision. Below are the body dimensions and powertrain specifications of the 2019 Bora: Bora's body dimensions: The body length is 4562mm, width is 1793mm, height is 1468mm, and the wheelbase is 2614mm. The 2019 Bora is a compact 4-door 5-seater sedan produced by FAW-Volkswagen. Bora's powertrain: The 2019 Bora is equipped with a 1.5L engine and a 5-speed manual transmission, with a maximum power output of 82 kW and a maximum torque of 145 N·m. It features front-wheel drive, with a front suspension using MacPherson strut independent suspension and a rear suspension using torsion beam non-independent suspension.
The 2019 Bora is indeed equipped with front and rear crash beams, which I've personally verified. When helping a friend deal with a minor accident before, I saw that sturdy steel crossbeam after removing the front bumper - its width and thickness are quite substantial. It's positioned in the area connecting the bumper inner side to the longitudinal beams, primarily functioning to disperse low-speed collision energy and prevent direct damage to the frame. The rear crash beam has the same configuration, providing impact buffering during rear-end collisions to protect the trunk structure. Though the steel beam might look unremarkable, in a previous 30 mph rear-end collision, it effectively transferred impact to the crush boxes, leaving the engine bay completely intact. For daily driving, I recommend paying attention to undercarriage scrapes as loose crash beam mounting bolts could compromise protection effectiveness.
