Does the Haval H6 have an anti-collision beam?

Haval H6 is equipped with an anti-collision beam, as detailed below: 1. The front protection structure of the Haval H6 consists of a front bumper cover and a metal beam with an energy absorption box. 2. The energy absorption box of the Haval H6 is connected to the front longitudinal beam using a flange structure with bolt connections, and the front bumper section features an open structure. Here is additional information about the anti-collision beam: 1. The primary function of the anti-collision beam is to reduce repair costs and minimize occupant injuries during low to medium-speed collisions. The Haval H6's anti-collision beam is robust and reliable, performing well in radiator protection, collision resistance, and overall safety. 2. The rear protection structure of the H6 includes a bumper cover and a metal beam with an energy absorption box, both made of steel. 3. The H6's bumper covers 85% of the rear width, with both sides connected to the energy absorption boxes. The energy absorption boxes are designed as closed trapezoidal structures without guide grooves.

Of course the Haval H6 has crash beams! I've taken apart the bumper of an older H6 model before, and it had a substantial aluminum alloy front crash beam, while the rear one was made of steel. The third-generation model seems to have upgraded the material thickness. However, crash beams are just part of passive safety—they mainly help reduce body damage in low-speed collisions. For real life-saving protection, you need to look at energy-absorbing structures like the A-pillars and longitudinal beams. I recommend searching for the C-IASI crash test videos—the H6's 25% small overlap front test results are more solid than many joint-venture models. Don't believe those online rumors claiming domestic cars lack crash beams; Great Wall has always been quite conscientious with material quality.

As someone who has driven three generations of the Haval H6, let me share a few insights: Both the front and rear come with anti-collision beams. The front uses aluminum alloy material, while the rear anti-collision beam is made of hot-formed steel. Last year, I rear-ended a taxi at about 40 mph. The taxi's trunk was severely dented, but my H6 only needed the bumper and beam replaced. Upon removal, the beam was slightly deformed but not severely damaged, and the energy-absorbing box was completely compressed. This design sacrifices parts to protect the vehicle's frame. If you're concerned about safety, I recommend focusing on the automatic emergency braking feature. My wife once triggered an automatic brake stop while driving, which is far more practical than relying solely on the beams.

A mechanic with 15 years of experience tells you: The Haval H6's crash beams are quite decent among domestic SUVs. The front crash beam is 2.75mm thick with reinforcement ribs, and the rear one is 1.5mm, much better than some Japanese models' thin sheet metal. However, the key lies in the installation position and the energy-absorbing box structure. The H6's design directs collision forces to the longitudinal beams for dispersion. Having seen several accident vehicles, the steel beam can generally withstand rear-end collisions at 15 km/h, but beyond 30 km/h, the entire set needs replacement. Remember, crash beams mainly protect against low-speed scrapes; in high-speed accidents, you still rely on the body's rigidity and airbags.
