Does the New Bora Have a Rear Anti-Collision Beam?
2 Answers
The new Bora does not have a rear anti-collision steel beam; instead, it is equipped with relatively thick soft buffer blocks. The anti-collision steel beam primarily protects the vehicle's frame during low-speed collisions, preventing damage to the frame. If the frame is damaged, the vehicle is almost impossible to repair. The anti-collision beam provides protection and cushioning for the car. Below are some details about the new Bora: 1. The high-end model of the new Bora is equipped with a 1.4T high-power engine, delivering a maximum power of 110kW and a peak torque of 250N•m, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. 2. The dimensions of the new Bora are 4663mm in length, 1815mm in width, and 1462mm in height.
The new Bora, as one of Volkswagen's best-selling models, is indeed equipped with a rear anti-collision beam. From a safety perspective, I've analyzed its design. Made of high-strength steel, it effectively absorbs rear-end impact forces, safeguarding the vehicle frame and rear-seat passengers. Based on my experience, Volkswagen is meticulous with safety configurations, especially for the new Bora tailored to the Chinese market—the thickness and structure of the anti-collision beam meet high standards. I've reviewed multiple crash test reports, and the Bora's rear protection performance has consistently been good. I recommend that owners pay attention to avoiding severe rear-end scrapes during daily driving to prevent deformation of the anti-collision beam, which could affect its effectiveness. During regular maintenance, technicians can easily inspect the inner side of the bumper to ensure it remains intact.
