Does the new Jetta have a rear anti-collision steel beam?

The new Jetta does not have a rear anti-collision steel beam. The function of the rear bumper is to absorb the impact force. For minor collisions, it is to sacrifice the rear bumper to ensure the integrity of the vehicle chassis. Without the rear anti-collision steel beam, there is a lack of protection against minor collisions, which can lead to greater damage to the body, as the rear car can directly hit the rear of the axle through the plastic bumper. The dimensions of the new Jetta are 4487mm in length, 1706mm in width, and 1470mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2603mm. The new Jetta is equipped with 1.4L and 1.6L engines, with maximum power outputs of 90 horsepower and 110 horsepower respectively. The transmission is matched with a 5MT or 6AT gearbox.
I recently checked the specifications of the new Jetta, and it indeed has a rear anti-collision beam. This component is installed at the rear of the vehicle, typically made of high-strength steel, primarily designed to absorb impact forces and protect rear-seat passengers and the trunk. In some tests, the new Jetta performed well, such as in the C-IASI crash results, proving its ability to cushion impacts and reduce damage in rear-end collisions. If owners want to confirm, they can refer to the user manual or visit a professional repair shop to inspect it by lifting the chassis. Don’t overlook this small part—it can make nighttime driving safer and provide excellent protection in case of a rear-end collision. I recommend checking it during regular maintenance to ensure the bolts are tight. Vehicle safety details are often overlooked, but they can be lifesaving in critical moments.
