Does the Lavida have a front anti-collision beam?
2 Answers
Lavida is equipped with both front and rear anti-collision beams. Here is more information about Lavida's anti-collision beams: 1. The front and rear anti-collision beams of Lavida are made of ultra-high-strength steel and undergo special shaping treatment, providing extremely high collision resistance. 2. The anti-collision beam is a device designed to absorb collision energy and reduce damage during a collision. It consists of a main beam, an energy absorption box, and mounting plates that connect to the car. Both the main beam and the energy absorption box can effectively absorb collision energy during low-speed collisions, minimizing the impact force on the vehicle's longitudinal beams. 3. The significance of front and rear anti-collision beams lies in their role as the first line of defense against impact forces. An important concept in passive vehicle safety is distributing the force across the entire structure. When force is applied at a single point, the entire frame structure shares the load, thereby significantly reducing the intensity of force at any one point. The front and rear anti-collision beams play a crucial role in this mechanism.
The Lavida definitely has a front anti-collision beam. I've driven this car for five years and saw it with my own eyes at the repair shop after a rear-end collision last year. Its front anti-collision beam is hidden inside the plastic bumper cover, constructed with a double-layer stamped steel plate, about 2-3 mm thick, connected to two crash boxes. In the last accident, hitting the rear of a truck at 40 km/h, the beam bent into a V-shape, but the engine compartment remained completely intact without even the airbags deploying. The mechanic said this structure is quite solid for cars in its price range, but reminded me not to obsess over thickness—the key is overall body rigidity. Also, I heard the 2023 model switched to aluminum alloy material, which is lighter but more expensive to repair, costing over 8,000 yuan to replace a beam.
