The body structure of the Bora is a sedan. The Bora is a compact sedan under the Volkswagen brand, with dimensions of 4663mm in length, 1815mm in width, and 1462mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2688mm. It features a 6-speed manual transmission and a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout. The Bora comes with several enhancements, including frameless wipers, a rear window antenna, a split front grille, new wood-grain interior trim, chrome accents, aluminum brushed interior trim, and a redesigned leather steering wheel. Additionally, it offers interior color options of gray upper and black lower, a USB port, an Aux-in audio interface, a secondary door unlocking function, and a driver-side sun visor with a vanity mirror.
As a long-time Volkswagen Bora owner for over a decade, I must say its body adopts a unibody design with an overall structure made of high-strength steel, especially reinforced A-pillars and B-pillars that enhance safety and rigidity. During long-distance driving, the body demonstrates excellent stability, with agile cornering and no drifting. Wind noise is minimal at high speeds. The lightweight frame contributes to lower fuel consumption—I average around 6 liters per 100km in urban driving, which is very economical. Maintenance is convenient; the integrated design eliminates the need for separate chassis inspections, saving both money and time. In minor accidents, the body's crumple zones provide strong protection—its 5-star C-NCAP rating is well-deserved. Overall, this structure proves both durable and practical.
