A side impact beam for a passenger vehicle, particularly for a vehicle door, includes a hat-shaped profiled section which is open toward the external panelling of the passenger vehicle and has at least one web facing away from the external panelling, two legs connected to the web and directed toward the external panelling and two flanges connected to the ends of the legs and facing away from each other, wherein, starting from the transverse plane in the middle of the beam, the height of the profiled section decreases continuously toward the ends of the beam provided with increased width flanges serving for securing the beam to the vehicle chassis. The height of the profiled section may decrease in accordance with a uniform or non-uniform curve pattern.
