Does the Baojun 310 have a rear anti-collision beam?
2 Answers
Baojun 310 has a rear anti-collision beam. The anti-collision beam is a device designed to absorb collision energy and reduce the impact force on the vehicle's longitudinal beams during low-speed collisions. It serves as a buffer in the event of an accident, rather than directly protecting the vehicle. The Baojun 310 is a compact hatchback with dimensions of 4032mm in length, 1680mm in width, and 1450mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2550mm. It offers two different powertrain options: a 1.2L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.5L DVVT naturally aspirated engine, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission and a 5-speed automated manual transmission, respectively.
I've been driving the Baojun 310 for several years, and indeed, there's no rear anti-collision beam installed. The rear of the car is just covered by a plastic bumper—I've opened it up and checked myself. This design is mainly to save costs, as the car is positioned as an affordable family vehicle. If you're concerned about collision safety, I recommend installing an aluminum alloy anti-collision beam yourself; it can be done for around a hundred bucks on the market. Otherwise, in low-speed rear-end collisions, there's no protection, and the car body is prone to denting. I've personally experienced a parking lot scrape where the rear bumper cracked, but no one was hurt. You need to be extra careful when driving, especially in rainy conditions when the roads are slippery—don't tailgate. Remember, these budget-friendly cars make some compromises on safety, but they're fine for daily commuting.
