Why is there a hump in the rear of Volkswagen cars?
1 Answers
Volkswagen cars have a rear hump to maintain chassis flatness. The underside of the car's chassis accommodates components like exhaust pipes or drive shafts. Typically, rear-wheel-drive vehicles require a drive shaft to transmit engine power to the rear wheels, necessitating this structural hump. Volkswagen is a German automobile manufacturer headquartered in Wolfsburg, producing models such as the Magotan, Sagitar, and Lavida. For example, the Volkswagen Magotan is the first B-segment sedan produced and sold by FAW-Volkswagen since its establishment, with body dimensions of 4866mm in length, 1832mm in width, and 1464mm in height.
