Does the Corolla have an anti-collision beam?
2 Answers
The Corolla is equipped with an anti-collision beam, which is a device designed to absorb collision energy and mitigate impact during accidents. It consists of a main beam, an energy-absorbing box, and mounting plates that connect to the vehicle. Both the main beam and the energy-absorbing box effectively absorb collision energy during low-speed impacts, minimizing damage to the vehicle's longitudinal beams. The Corolla is a compact sedan produced by FAW Toyota, with dimensions of 4630mm in length, 1775mm in width, and 1480mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. The car features 12 storage compartments, maximizing interior space for convenient storage of items.
My Corolla has been running for three years now. Before buying it, I specifically researched the body structure. This car has crash beams both front and rear. The front one is particularly thick, made of ultra-high-strength steel, while the rear crash beam is slightly thinner but still steel. Once when I was reversing and bumped into a utility pole, the crash beam dispersed the impact force, and the trunk barely deformed. I recommend checking under the trunk liner when car shopping—the crash beam is just a couple of centimeters behind the bumper. Note that different model years may vary; my relative's older model has a thinner rear crash beam than the newer version. In daily driving, crash beams can prevent minor accidents and save on repair costs.
