1992-1996 Toyota Camry/Holden Apollo IIHS Moderate Overlap (40% Offset)

Interesting the roof buckled but the windshield stayed completely intact

[@da_poopoo_dealer3152]

The windshield on cars is actually structural to the car. I think the roof buckled ONLY because the glass was too strong because you can see it get kinked up on the upper edge of the seal and then pop out into the cabin, and it absorbed so much impact that it cracked the bottom of the glass where force was being applied

Considering this is a 30+ year old design that was never tested to withstand this sort of test, It did pretty well. The person probably wouldn't have walked away, but they would survive with maybe a broken ankle and some bruises and face rash from the airbag.

Passenger airbags in those days seem so huge, people are more likely to be hurt by them.

[@whattheheck1000]

I think I’d rather have a 92-93 Camry with just the driver airbag than a 94-96 with dual airbags. I feel like, for a seat belted occupant, that passenger airbag would do more harm than good. I rode in the front seat of a 94 Camry coupe frequently from age 8 to 12, I always sat in the seat properly but that airbag would have HURT if it went off, may have given me a concussion or broken bones! I drive a 2011 Honda Accord V6 sedan today, don’t worry about its airbags at all because they’re actually well designed for all occupants. December 19, 2020 6:56 am

@@whattheheck1000 my family used to have a 96 Camry wagon and it used to worry me when I first saw the pics on the IIHS website. I didn’t start sitting in the front until I was almost 12. Seems like you started sitting in front too early on.

[@91myroc]

I had a 93 Camry DX 4Door Saloon and it felt a bit odd driving with just the drivers airbag and no passenger airbag. I have a 95 Camry V6 now and having the passenger airbag compartment was something I had to get used to.

Baby was killed by one in a '94 Camry XLE V6, because someone didn't stop with traffic and crashed into it.

Not bad for a 90s car

Much better than today's cars that break up in a million pieces.

[@richardorosso7377]

Wrong!

[@helloitsme60001]

@@richardorosso7377 i agree!

[@Tbird761]

Today's cars are vastly safer than this. The cabin of a modern car deforms less while the rest of the car around it is explicitly designed to deform and break. That energy has to dissipate somewhere, and you want it to trash the part of the car you're not in.

[@pjfielding7647]

I never no they are actually called Holden as well

[@ChildrenOfDesire]

Holden and Toyota had a deal at the time, you will also find that Toyota used to sell Commodores under the name Toyota Lexcen for a short time as well.

[@Wojak-21]

Holden Apollo, I believe is what they were called

[@jdmspirit1079]

How about Camry 1988?

[@carexpertandy]

Well IIHS didn't do this kind of crash test back then. But maybe someone could find the flat wall test from NHTSA.

[@whattheheck1000]

‘88 Camry had no airbags and a far weaker body structure than a ‘92-96, they’d get POOR in this test. They did decently well in the less rigorous NHTSA flat wall test, 4 stars for driver and 3 for passenger, on a 1-5 star scale. December 19, 2020 6:50 am
