Does the Sylphy have front and rear crash beams?

The Sylphy has a front crash beam but no rear crash beam. A crash beam is a device designed to absorb collision energy and reduce the impact force on the vehicle's longitudinal beams during low-speed collisions, thereby protecting the vehicle. Taking the 2021 Sylphy as an example, it is a compact car with a body length of 4631mm, width of 1760mm, height of 1503mm, a wheelbase of 2700mm, front and rear track of 1540mm, a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters, and a trunk capacity of 510 liters. The 2021 Sylphy is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 122PS, maximum power of 90kW, maximum torque of 155Nm, and is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
I've been driving a Sylphy for almost three years and have done some research on it. The current Sylphy model has both front and rear crash beams. The front crash beam uses double-layer stamped steel plates with moderate thickness, about 1.5mm, while the rear crash beam has a single-layer stamped design. To be honest, Japanese cars generally have thinner crash beams, and in a major accident, the body frame is more important. I suggest you ask the salesperson to remove the bumper and check the actual parts when you visit the showroom. By the way, my neighbor in the community had an older Sylphy that was rear-ended, and the rear crash beam really helped a lot, saving nearly ten thousand yuan in repair costs.
Last time I accompanied a friend to buy a car, we specifically compared this. The Sylphy has front and rear anti-collision beams, but the materials are different from those of German cars. The front uses a high-strength steel welded square tube beam, while the rear is designed with a single-layer C-shaped beam. To be honest, this strength is effective in collisions below 15 km/h, but at higher speeds, the overall body structure becomes more critical. Currently, Nissan equips the Sylphy with six airbags, and it would be even better if it included automatic emergency braking. When buying a car, you can't just look at the anti-collision beams; the frame material and crash test results are even more important.
