You won’t believe the frontal crash rating for 1998 Corolla was four stars. But, you will after seeing this.

Find a seat if you are standing right now. This will be a wakeup call of enormous proportions, especially for those who still drive a 20-year-old car. You are not the only one who chooses older vehicles, considering that 11.6 years is the average age of U.S. automobiles.

The Australasian New Vehicle Assessment Program (ANCAP), decided to create a video that shows just how far manufacturers have advanced in safety over the past two decades. A pair of Toyota Corollas from 1998 and 2015 were taken and placed in a head-to-head collision at 40 mph. Most of us will have seen crash videos of cars in the 1950s and 1960s pinning dummy occupants to death. But let’s take a closer look at these “modern” cars.

The 1998 Toyota Corolla was not considered to be unsafe. The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration gave it an A rating with a 4-star frontal impact score. This didn’t stop the Corolla from collapsing like an accordion during the impact. The passenger compartment suffered severe damage. Although the front wheel actually hit the driver’s area, the Corolla did not have any airbags. This would have been enough to cause serious leg injuries.

The 2015 Corolla’s passenger compartment suffered very little damage. Compare the roofs and A pillars of both cars to get a better understanding of this. The new Corolla shows some waviness on the top, with a slight kink at the A pillar. This indicates that most of the impact was absorbed in the front and only a small amount transferred to the passenger compartment. The same areas of the old Corolla look like pretzels, which indicates that the majority of the impact was felt inside.

While we would expect improvements over time, to see such a drastic difference in just a few days is quite alarming. This is not to suggest all century cars will perform as badly as the old Corolla. But, it’s still safe to be safe. It doesn’t matter what car you drive.
