Body
B-pillar
The new Jetta’s B-pillar consists of three
hot formed panels that provide improved
passenger protection in the event of a
side-impact collision.
Hot Formed Panels
The B-pillar and adjacent portion of the
body in the direction of the A-pillar are heat
treated during the forming process to
increase strength. These hot formed panels
are stronger and weigh less than the panels
on previous models.
