Does the Volkswagen Bora Legend have a rear anti-collision beam?
2 Answers
Volkswagen Bora Legend is equipped with a rear anti-collision beam, which is mostly hidden inside the bumper and door panels. If the car is subjected to a significant impact, the protection provided by the bumper is limited, while the anti-collision beam can enhance the car's rigidity and protect the passengers inside. The dimensions of the Volkswagen Bora Legend are 4565mm in length, 1795mm in width, and 1465mm in height. The front grille features a continuous design, and the headlights adopt an open-angle design, continuing the Volkswagen family-style design. The lower air intake is designed in a continuous style. The Volkswagen Bora Legend offers two powertrain options: a 1.5L engine and a 1.4T engine, both of which comply with the China VI emission standards.
I just took apart my friend's Bora Legend rear bumper, and there is indeed an anti-collision beam inside. It looks like a silver channel steel, installed between the rear frame and the plastic bumper, specifically designed to handle low-speed rear-end collisions. Last time, when my neighbor reversed into a corner, it held up and prevented damage to the trunk. But to be honest, its thickness is much thinner than the new Passat's, and the material is ordinary steel. It's sufficient for daily driving, but in a high-speed rear-end collision, you'd still rely on the entire body's energy-absorbing structure. When buying a car, I recommend lifting the trunk mat and pressing the anti-collision beam to feel its strength—this detail can reveal the manufacturer's sincerity.
