This metal beam is designed to dampen the speed of another car upon impact and protect the body from damage.
In September 2023, AvtoVAZ notified dealers that it was ceasing to install a rear bumper amplifier on Lada Vesta, a special metal beam designed to dampen the speed of another car upon impact and protect the body from damage. However, as it turned out, this amplifier is not in Lada Vesta 2023 either.
AvtoVAZ stinted not only on airbags.
It turns out that when hitting from behind, the bumper will quickly crack or crumble, and all the energy will be immediately transferred to the body. Of course, this worsens safety – in addition to the fact that the new Vesta has only two airbags instead of at least four.
What to do? Refine the car yourself: buy a beam yourself (the whole set will cost about 12 thousand rubles) and install it yourself.
