Size does matter.

 

Therefore, take public transport.

WTFreak???

 

i thought the Yaris in EuroNCAP got 5stars too....

 

why the disparity between the two cars in a crash???

 

at the very least, the pillars and doors of the Yaris Sedan/ Belta/ Vios shouldn't have deformed....

 

darn!!!

 

i almost bought the Vios dude....

 

thanks for sharing....

Camry is no doubt the heavier car here thus the force of impact is more dan that of the Vios'. Multiply by Vios' own force of impact, of course the Vios' look badly crushed.

 

Looking at the equation Force of impact(ignoring the impact angle) = Mass x Acceleration(assuming this value is consistent for both cars). At any point which ever car's mass has a greater value, the greater the impact force as a result.

 

Thus in turn if the Camry is crashed against a much heavier car, it will more or less look like the Vios in this video. So safety has its limit and crash tests are often done in a controlled environment. When on the roads anything can happen, sad to say there's no 100% safety.

and it's only 40MPH or 65Kph,

 

whoever does such speeds on day-to-day driving???

 

they should test such crash at more realistic 80kph and see what would be the real life destruction....

It would not give car buyers any confident if any car manufacturer were to do that. :D

true....

 

but better to know the consequences now than being in an actual accident later to regret right???

 

better to be safe than to be sorry....

[laugh] No need lah. I read newspaper already see live crash test dummies end up in a wooden box. If they stand a chance I think they would have regretted. I think they are sorry too but dan you know lah....too late.

the length of the crumple zones also play a part too i think....

 

the bonnet of the Camry is so much longer than the bonnet of the Vios,

 

but a longer bonnet may not necessary guarantee better crash test results though....

 

the irony of crashes!!!

Actually, fifth gear or is it top gear talked about the issue when a sedan crash with a SUV head on. They call it "the incompatibility". Becos of the different ride height, their bumpers and crumpled zones do not ideally meet where they should. The high chance of the sedan going under is there. They did a demo, I think can be found on youtube also.

true to a certain extent. but the design of the smaller car plays a big part too.

 

juz take a look at the clip below of audi Q7 vs fiat 500. SUV (much bigger than camry) vs micro mini (even smaller than vios). the little fiat did pretty well considering what it was up against.

Well, i guess Vios have done decently well...

 

Smashing against a bigger car is like smashing against a wall....

 

Well, i guess next time i would be looking at bigger cars like SUV....

 

ahaa [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

The euroncap is based on cars being tested against something of similar size. So as the car gets bigger, the barrier gets bigger. So that's how u get the ratings. Regardless of all this ratings, real-life crashes are seldom the same as those in crash-test facilities because in those facilities, everything is within control. I asked the locals of Oman in middle east, where the speed limit is 120kph, why are the majority of the cars there Toyotas. He told me because it is cheap and spare parts are available everywhere (every few km there will be a shop); European makes are not popular because of the lack of spare parts and poorer reliability in their climate. However, here is the big but, Oman's accident rate is very very high, and he told me those in Jap makes normally do suffer serious injuries in an accident, whereas those in European makes often do not. He works in the A&E Operating Theater and have seen lots of people sent in for emergency treatments as a result of high-speed crashes. Oh and btw, because cars are so cheap there, everyone has a passion for cars... and football. So they do know their cars very very well. The only European make that has proven more reliable than the rest in their arid climate? - Mercedes-Benz.

I don't think smashing against bigger car is like smashing against the wall, because even bigger cars will have crumple zones to absorb the impact of a smaller ride. If really crash into a wall, that's a bye bye, because the wall is a total solid.
