The LEAST SAFE new cars to CRASH in!
Vložit
- čas přidán 28. 05. 2024
- When buying a new car in 2020 it’s fair to say that chances are, it’ll have a pretty high safest rating. However, unfortunately, that’s not always the case! Sure, a car may have received five stars in its Euro NCAP safety rating - but does that really mean you’ll be totally safe if you have a crash? And are there any cars that received such a low rating that you should just avoid them altogether?! There’s only one way to find out… Stick with Mat and check out his top 13 list!

The cuteness and fun outweighs it ten fold
It's amazing how far safety has come. In the early 90's many car's dashboards and steering wheels would be pushed back quite far and with little survival room. Judging by cabin intrusion the Panda looked great.
yep, and now the least safe cars you can probably still walk away from a crash
Just a thought: A very quick overview of safety scores might be a cool thing to add to the car review videos...
Love that idea actually!!!
But I think he should only mention it if the cars stands out negatively. Because most new cars are very safe.

As someone who doesn’t buy new cars I would be interested to see how these “worst cars “ would compare to good cars from 10-15 years ago. I would be willing to bet that it is likely that most of these cars on this list would compare somewhat favorably to high scoring cars from a decade ago. So all things are relative I suppose.
No, they wouldn't.
No chance at all.
If you look at the leaders like Mercedes, you already had fancy safety features in your car. Pre-safe system have been around at that time.
This panda is still the basic airbag setup from that time
Cheers to all the people who buy big ass Jeeps because they’re “more safe” than “normal” cars lol
Dunno who goes around saying they are "more safe"...
@@MechanicalFalcon Most people who have no idea about cars in general. Soccer moms etc.
They think that SUVs and Crossovers way safer than any sedan or hot hatch.
@@g1g3l hahaha you're not wrong
most crashes happen car vs car not car vs wall, so good luck hitting a 2+ton jeep in your car
@@BeZzeMa You are missing the point. More than half of all road traffic deaths occur among vulnerable road users-pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists. That is why we drive big cars in the U.S. Run over people on our way to being late for work. In America we take the doors off our jeeps to make them lighter and safer, I think...I close with a quote from the great american hero Rocky Balboa "you only need safety equipment during an accident and not before, its pointless"
Ford Mustang has officially left the chat
This list doesn't care about pedestrian safety 😂😂😂
Doc Q 😂
Mustang just tries to kill your kids in the back IIRC.
The Driver safety rating was good, the lack of tech and ped safety was what hurt it. I got slammed into a tree at 30mph in mine and the cabin didnt budge an inch and the only thing what hurt was my ears from the airbag
Oosh21 you can put friends tht you hate in the back 😆
Data for this video was provided by Richard Hammond....
I doubt it... it's probably Jeremy. Pritchard wouldn't give such a low score to the Jimny and Wrangler.
@@AirWolf2301 Twas a joke
@@vishnusankar751 Ohhh f**k!
What we have learnt from this is to NEVER let Richard Hammond drive a fiat panda
That's why the scores are low. On the crash test, he slipped under the airbags

I respect you, Matt and Carwow, for putting this clip up as safety hasn't been in any part of most car reviews so far though it's so important.

I think that was vomit lmao
Jeep is such a joke on quality. I drive one I'd know 😭😭
Absolutely agree, had a couple, look good - crap quality. Will never buy another Jeep
I currently drive one as well. Now I am going to be extra careful while driving. XD
Mines only 10 years old and under 100k and the floors are rusted out the paint is so bad it’s coming off and they didn’t bother to paint the backside of the panels or the bottom of the windshield frame the quality is horrible the plastic they used for wire loom is completely disintegrated and the overall quality is shit most new cars are also shit but at least the paint and primer is done right never buying a Chrysler product again, but despite what they said here about the safety rating I looks like it did quite well and I don’t see any windshild piller and it looks safe to me
looks tough but disappoints
I drive one. It's pritty pretty good.
I'll never buy any of those unsafe cars.
Meanwhile driving a '80's Ford Escort mk3 😅
Meanwhile fiat::: U GETTING SSTTAARRSS
Fiat: you guys are getting stars?
”I'm going to judge it on one metric - the adult occupant safety” - then proceeds to use the overall score! WTF?
As much as I like car wow reviews and drag races to be honest this safety consumer information is just spectacular and so interesting please continue with more videos like this. Nice work 👌 Mat
This video : Exists.
Indian NCAP has left the chat.
Its actually Latin NCAP if u didn't know so

I sincerely did not get the joke pls explain.
Maruti Suzuki S-Presso 0 stars in adult safety. Still on of the highest selling car list in india. Indian market is a big joke.
Joined the chat* lmao
Wow, thanks Matt, about time this info hit the fan. And new data shows the increased height from big SUVs override the safety designs for all 5 star prior rated current sedans. Thus Resulting in fail ratings across the board. The crash test side impact vehicle used from now on will have an increased height to match the large new SUVs. Astonishingly the Audi A8 about three years back (Matt showed how it works👍) designed an emergency feature that can detect impending side impact collision. The A8 utilizes the adjustable air suspension to instantaneously raise the one side of the car sIgnificantly prior to impact. Obviously the industry is well aware of this problem.
My heart depressed when I see the Porsche Taycan and the Suzuki Jimny was in the list...
@বাঙালী গেমার Maybe. Germans did very well actually. The only fault is the seat WHICH CAN BE FIXED!!! There were no other structural issue's. But that poor Jimney...oh boy...RIP.
Susuki is depressing but Taycan...😥
Price isn't an argument. There are way cheaper, safer cars.
@@miskatonic6210 Like a Tesla, if cross shopping for the Taycan lol...
Guess the Porsche had bucketseats so they couldn't use antiwishplash tech on it, that wouldn't be the biggest thing to change an offer when they allready have all the tech needed to fix it, beautiful.? nah but they can change that in a hurry if they decide to do it.
I bet with my brother before watching this that Jeep would be the most common car in here 🤣
Great review. Very important for new buyers and I like your rational of giving importance to the driver safety, afterall if not good for driver then it is expected to be worse for other occupants. Brilliant
Very informative thanks mate

Good video! Yes, safety rating matters very much when I buy a car. I spend most time in it getting my family from A to B, so I start from a list based on safer models and go from there.
The Jeep is no surprise. In the IIHS (an independent crash testing center in the USA.) in the small overlap crash test, the test vehicle ROLLED ONTO ITS SIDE and slid to the concrete blocks that protects the walls of the area. where it stopped.
Mat’s next video - “Why I’m not buying a Suzuki Jimny”
No Dacia ? Surprised... in a good way !!
Part of the Renault Nissan & Mitsubishi alliance, none of which appeared in this list :)
All your videos are epic and very educational. Thanks and keep up the great work.
Small wonder about the Panda... that's an ancient design, long overdue for replacement. On a side note: When it was first tested in 2011, it got much better results (4 stars, 80% adult occupancy). Which only shows how much stricter the tests and how much safer the cars have become just in the last 10 to 11 years.
I started my driving-life in a (then brand new) VW Polo Mk II. I drove that car with my right foot welded to the floor most of the time and I had two rather hairy accidents in it. I already knew it at the time, but today it's even clearer to me how lucky I was to "survive" my stint with that car without any injury.
As for the Jimny and Wrangler: That's a pretty shameful result for such recent designs.
Carwow you are officially my daily dose of youtube videos... i can't seem to get enough of your videos and i love this channel. More videos please 😎
Lmao 3 jeeps in one video😂
And the Panda as the cherry on top for FCA
No surprise really
You can tell Matt hasn't got kids when he only looks at the data about the driver
Living the dream
he had some.....
well it is the most important anyway, in most cases you’re driving your car on your own, not with anyone else🤷🏼♀️
@@pol1250 He HAD some?
@@beachesandhose2374 Until they crashed a car
wow, some surprising results there with regards to ranking and scores. Matt can you do one which looks at the 13 safest cars please?
I still remember the following from a documentary on road safety when I was a teenager.
Imagine two basically identical cars except that:
One is completely safe; you can have absolutely any accident in it and walk away unscathed.
The other is guaranteed to explode in a fireball if there is the slightest impact with another vehicle or obstacle.
Would you drive them differently?
I suppose the point is, do 'safer cars' make us safer? Or do they just make us into less careful drivers?
Frankly I'm amazed at just how much protection we get from the 'worst' car, the Panda. I grew up with cars like the classic Mini and the Renault 4!
7:43 ouch, it hurts my neck watching that
It definitely helps to see crash tests, I wanted a rover 100/metro until I saw the crash tests
Now I understand why my father got hurt pretty badly when he was in a Jeep Wrangler when he was going like 60mph and flipped onto his side after smashing into a trailer of another car. (In 2015, 2015!).
When u see that ur cars on the list
😱
*Astronomia plays in the distance*
Knew I shouldn’t of bought a damn Panda!!!!
@@bobcarter2329 Nah your good James Approve that car
I still see a lot of old Fiat 600 around. That was the only car in its category which crashing at 30 mph you could actually risk your life.
50% on the Jeep! DAMN!
Mat looks so pleased with himself at 1:04 as he starts the list :)
Grate topic ! Congratulations!
Absolutely it affects my choice. I didn't buy a VW areton purely because there was no small overlap crash test available at the time - a test they ended up releasing several weeks after I got my new car. 🥺

Excellent video Matt, more like this please rather than drag races which dont really help in choosing a car
Totally agree with looking at just the safety of the driver, in this survey only. I agree that the greater majority of journeys are with just the driver so this information is what we need. Great survey, thanks.
I have crashed 2015 Fiat Panda two months ago. Car probably already had accident repairs, because airbags were not deployed during accident. Anyway, already repaired car, with 0 NCAP stars, crashed heavily and nothing has happened to me (slight headache) proves how good car safety is now.
Watching this, a thought occurs...the Fiat 500 must therefore be safer to have a crash in, than a Jeep thats 4/5 times the size and weight.
5 times the size?
Mat: I’ll avoid these cars!!
Later: buys a jimny
hi matt, with the old fiat panda (up to 2012 ish) the 4x4 was built differently to the the regular car with steel frames behind the bumpers which i don't think was on the regular panda. So the 4x4 was quite sturdy. I tested this unintentionally and true enough there was a steel frame and it suffered very little damage. Is there still a difference between a standard panda and a 4x4?
Absolutely loved this video, Cheers 😂
Can you do a video on the most protective cars on the road 👍🏼🔥
Love your content carwow, you inspired me to start my own youtube channel.
Thank you for motivation.
Really like watching your videos!
the funny thing about the Fiat Panda is that in 2011 it received a 4 star rating in the crash test and the car didn't change at all since then
I love that Renault has not been mention in the unreliability or the or the crash test . There doing well. Good to see!
Renault always make some of the safest cars on the roads, a 2003 Megane would probably do better than most of these cars
I generally like to shit on the frenchies for their (lack of) quality and poor reliability, but even I have to admit that Renault builds the safest cars for the price. Shame they break, but apparently not that often either
@@TheBlackBeetle Yeah I don't know if it's fair to group french manufacturers anymore, you can't put Shitron in the same group as Renault now. It's like saying German cars are great, yet Porsche, VW Up!, VW Sharan, the German made (but french owned) Corsa... all made the list. I like to think I have a more dynamic thought process here and stepped away from the eighties/nineties cliche's a while back
@A real bisexual petrol-head Uhm... you ok there mate? And if it makes you feel any better, I actually have frenchie and an italian car, i'm not biased.
Renault is in BIG trouble. They just fired 15.000 people. So hurry up and get a new one, it might be the last... 😑
It’s insane that cars like the last 5 ones are allowed to be sold. I always thought these crashtests were to determine if a car can go on sale or not. This is just horrific.
U shldb do your research
By your logic all motorcycles should also be banned.
NCAP rating is not a requirement but an advertisement for safety.
Top 3 are the ones I'm interested in for offroad work. Maybe not the Jeep but was looking at the other two. Ah well, ill will drive across the hill to get to work and the shops... Not likely to be going very quickly non any of those 3 and they are amazing off road.
Fantastic, you should do it every time at the end of your car reviews
Mat: vw sharan and seat alhambra
2:15 Captions: vw Chiron and lamb(r)o
Vw Sharan almost the same
I crahsed in a BMW E36 M3 at 260kmh and I got out of the wreck without even a scratch, my friend face was a bit worse because of the airbag that hit his nose and he got a brain concussion for a few days.... and that car developed in the 80's....so yeah BMW always did his job pretty well.
You maybe lost control at 260kmh but there no way to survive a direct impact at 260kmh. Even at 200kmh there is nothing left but the trunk.
czcams.com/video/obdtYlqV7VU/video.html (this is only at 64kmh, the vehicule is already in poor condition)
Cars shouldn't protect idiots driving that fast. Would make the roads a lot safer for others with them out of the gene pool.

Hey Mat...Good list! Don't talk often enough about safety! All on the list worry me and my loved ones...but surprised such an expensive car such as the Porsche Taycan has head / neck whiplash issues because of seat design? Just with that I would pass on it. Totally unacceptable and all this at speeds way below say 100km/h. Next list please the safest cars!
Finally some important stfu about cars , remember safety first ,this kind of videos should have come early , keep doing this Matt , and i agree that the safety based on the systems to prevent it are useles , the most important thing is how strong is your car if you get in to an acident . this is how i would chose to buy a car for me.

Love the channel 💯💯

Drive carefully in anything. Back in the 80's I was a test driver and my boss at the time always told me the safest car was one where there was a sharpened spike sticking out of the steering wheel pointing at your chest and a fuel tank fitted on the front bumper with a detonator in it that went off if you hit anything above 5 mph. We were testing ABS and other safety aids at the time for companies like Volvo and the problem is every safety improvement just makes the driver more reckless and they think they are invulnerable. Yes we need safe cars but we also need safe drivers as the nut behind the wheel is the biggest problem.
...and sadly the more gadgetry, aircon, sound-proofing and ICE the more drivers are detached from what is happening around them. Most accidents are caused by people just not reading the road.
Great Video!

Many cars do poorly in the side pole test. It's just a very hard test! You saw when they just changed the size of the dummy, a bunch of top scorers fell to marginal.

Alright great thanks mister Maths Watson. Oncemo you have given us a great movie with wit, humour, sarcasm, fun, drama and intelligent conversation. Remember Iam from south Africa so in this place we have cars and we also do many accidents so this is an impotent documentary for us to watch. Most people here use a seatbelt so we don't need fancy thinks such as a hairbag or pedestrians and also the accidents are mostly drunk people so when they crash they often feel no pain and wake up on the hospital feeling fine. When the taxi minibus crashes it is a bad accident because many people get hurt or worse and those are some of the worst accidents but in cars we feel safer so we don't worry about other things. Please accept my thanks mister Mat Watson your are the beast presenter we have met so far.
