In this video Greg - Your Car Angel - shows 4 different Mini vans; the Honda Odyssey, Toyota Sienna, Chrysler Town and Country and the Nissan Quest which David Zuby - Executive Vice President for the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) calls "one of the worst performing vehicles we've seen in the small overlap crash test. These Minivans are the good, bad and the ugly. Some of them are actually dangerous. Ave Maria is the music score.
I was in a similar crash last month in a 2010 odyssey, about a 25% overlap I was going 45 the oncoming driver jumped a median going about 55. Whole family in the car, while there were injuries, we all did walk away and no broken bones or surgeries needed. Didn't even look at anything other than the odyssey as a replacement. Got a 2016 this time around :)
Good choice. Happy to read everyone was ok 👍 🙏
🙏
Have you seen the 2012 odyssey? It performed horribly in the test.
That’s what IIHS doesn’t tell you; they give other manufacturers head starts in their tests.
Bro ur obviously playing look at the 2012 odyssey 😂
This video made me rethink about the Decision of buying a quest
Hemen Kareamg Buy a Mercedes Benz it’s worth it it’s not wobbly slow and big. Do you miss your POWER?
Hemen Kareamg please buy something else, for your own safety and those you love.
Nissan Quest sucks, Honda Odyssey is the best
Hemen Kareamg buy a oddesey or a sienna or a caravan or just buy a suv instead
Same here
The music is so soothing as these cars gracefully get destroyed
That's art !
GEN USM4RINE I didn't notice but this sounds like the Hitman theme song IDK yet
GEN USM4RINE
Cars? Do you mean the destroyers of masculine pride
GEN USM4RINE lol
22megaton I don’t get it.
That town and country airbag... it's like it was "Hey, I'm here to save you!" and then at impact it was like "SIKE!".
Lol hahahahaha
I KNOW RIGHT!!! LMFAO!
Yeet
richy the curtain airbag was too lazy to extend far enough foward to the a- pillar apparently
LOL
IIHS needs to do amproper minivan crash test amd fill it with a family's worth of crap that comes flying forward. More realistic.
like a dog or two?
Thanks CarAngel for the heads up. My wife and I used to have a Chrysler minivan That thing rode like a Cadillac. I had been thinking about trading in our old Camry for a nice Chrysler Town & Country. Not now
Sounds like you really dodged a bullet there
the Pacifica is much better.
The crazy part about this is the fact that 25 years ago some cars performed like that on just the regular offset test. I’m sure every van in this video does well on the regular offset now. It’s crazy to think how far cars have come in 25 years.
What makes it more interesting is that some of those care tester 25 years ago had possible fatal injuries recorded on the driver
Every minivan on here (despite these results of the small overlap test) passed the moderate overlap test, unlike their predecessor generation models back in the mid-late 90s, which is crazy. It does prove how much cars gotten significantly safer in the last 25+ years cause of these tests. Back then, car companies always criticized IIHS for these tests, not knowing that they are actually trying to make their vehicles safer for newer generations. I feel like vehicles getting poor rating is not entirely a bad thing, cause it will give a manufacturer an insight what to do for the next generation and to help protect people’s lives, which was the purpose of IIHS.
Now I know why my parents got rid if there Chrysler a couple days after buying it. They told us kids that it's not what they thought it was, but they obviously saw this video and didn't like how severe the accident was.
Edit: They didn't watch this video, they just didn't want a minivan.
Nissan Quest, please...for my mother in law. 😂
I do, I bought a honda Odyssey and after my family getting hit from the rear at over 45 mph and no one got hurt except the other cars driver I will buy another if they still make them this good
😂😂😂😂😂
I'm surprised; I own a Nissan, and I thought they were better than that...
Rodney Long it's even better now
@@mrrodneyalong they still do make the odyssey and probably still will for a long time
The front tire on the odyssey is strangely satisfying when it pops. The T&C entire front assembly is like "we done" I actually chuckled on that one
The performance of the Nissan Quest is similar to the Pontiac Trans Sport of 1997
they need to put the transport in this crash test
Simón Espínola - Ford Trucks Enthusiast I agree, Embarrassing for a car from 2014 to do as bad as a car from 1997
Agreed
The Transport did way worse, in the Quest your head, neck and chest would be protected by the airbags but you'd be in a wheelchair for life.
In the Transport/Montana the neck was snapped by the steering column being violently, the left foot was snapped off by the ankle.
A similar fate would be likely in the 2001 Ford F-150, 1996 Toyota Previa, 2000 Isuzu Rodeo, 1995 Nissan Maxima where all body regions except for the chest would be injured.
@@titan9259 HIC was 527 inthe quest, i think you'd be blacked out in the quest crash.
Was at sick kids today and a Nissan minivan had crashed into a bus with 6 kids in it. It was a war one. After watching this I'm praying hard but the driver probably didn't make it. Damn you Nissan!
Nissan sells unreliable junk. They truly are heartless scoundrels.
@@user-vb7pr4oc8d nissan joke,nissan maxima death

To anyone interested: this magnificent version of Ave Maria is performed by Sister of Tranquillity. It's awesome.
I feel bad for the minivans they are my most favorite cars
I thought this looked pretty horrific, but then I remember my car has no airbags...
FR i4 turbo > my life
who needs airbags.... we die like real man.. Fast in a FIrestorm! BTW...most crashes that kill people does not matter which car they were in... when you hit a tree with 100km/h you will most certainly die
Toyota AE86 great engine sound > my life
@@sermovies3217 what if you brake and hit the tree frontal at 70kph?
@@ELValenin still die in 75% of all cases... Airbags help until 55 kph then your head hits steering wheel first
@@sermovies3217 so why are Euro ncap tests performed at 64kph and the head hits the airbag only)
Nissan = boring lame autos. That's what happen when you have 1 CEO running 2 car companies at the same time.
The Quest has been bad since its debut.
Aren't all of Nissans cars just rebadged Renaults? If so no wonder they are so bad the French can't design for shit.
@@AdamSmith-gs2dv i feel the nissan-renault merge was good for renault, but it was the downfall for Nissan.
we just wish volvo would make a minivan
Ikr
They did but in the 80's
Or subaru
It would still fail. The design of all minivans is inheritly inferior to all other vehicles. They should have never been allowed on roads. But I guess they culls the herds of the hideously obese, rude, hateful, women. They seem to gravitate towards these rolling meat processors. Work used to use them a lot until one year when what appeared to have been minor crashes killed two workers on two different accidents. All minivans in the fleet were taken out of service and auctioned at the end of the year. I guess work figured this out before many others did.
I never got why you think, Volvo was safer or better in anything.
In researching minivans for my wife I came across this video. It's quite shocking to think of your family in some of these unsafe vans. Looks like it's Honda for us all the others did poorly. I would never ride in a Nissan or Chrysler, just plain scary.
I have friends who own both of those vans. After watching this I want to go hug them.
Bryce sienna is ok. Others. Ni
Don't drive a Chrysler period lol. Engine will quit after 150k miles
FUN FACT! (i know i'm responding like 6-7 years later)
-a 2012 Honda Odyssey was put in this same test. Same speed and barrier and everything. It had this slate-ish colour. In the test, the Odyssey looked to be worse than the Quest; the dummy slid off the airbag and hit the dashboard directly (in the Quest this didn't happen, dummy kinematics in the Nissan were Good.)
-I compared the 2 side by side, and the intrusion of the Odyssey looked to be equivalent to the Quest (if not more). Same situation too; dummy's legs were trapped.
-it's private tho, I don't know why they hid this test. You can search this test on UA-cam
The Nissan Quest is like the minivans that tested in the 1990’s.
2:20 I'm concerned for my father's safety. He drives a 2015 grand caravan, and he works from 3:00 am to noon. He tends to get really tired, and since where he works is an hour away, he takes the freeway. Knowing how bad the damage was in a small overlap was horrifying at just 40mph. Imagine this happening at 75 mph. It's likely he would loose a leg or be in a coma after that crash, if he even survives a caravan or town and country crashing into a concrete barrier at 75mph. Fatigue from working dead early only makes him even more likely to crash, Combined with the fact that most wrong way crashes happen between midnight and 5 am, and the fact that having more than 17 hours without sleep is like driving with a blood alcohol level of 0.5, and it's a recipe for tragedy. The saddest part is, if he does fall asleep and die in a crash, the whole disaster would have been recorded on a dashcam
The Kia Sedona, redesigned for 2015, also did very well in crash tests.
Next year it will be the semi-small overlap upsidedown rear passenger side structure test that will kill all occupants. Lesson? Put your phone down and don't smash into stuff... offset or directly!!
Annnnd I'm renting a Nissan quest.....pray for me y'all
@Honda CRV Honda is one of the safest cars to me, Volvo became shit now.
Did you die?
@@JohnDoe-fr1id nope! But it was super shitty

I can't choose between a Toyota or a Honda. My mom says Toyota because she had it for her first car. My dad says Honda because it's cheaper. I'll just take both for a test drive and see what happens.
hacker odwjidnwk me too
I am glad you posted this. I am shopping for a minivan and this ruled out two of them!
the quest is a great van in every other way, this may not be the best but still, In my crash it stayed completely together and nobody had to be pried out of there seat! I love the van. 10/10 would buy again!
I believe it's "Ave Maria". fitting for a Car Angel, no. Seems I used to listen to this on Sunday morning radio in the early 60's. Very soothing to go with the cars. My ex- still drives a Honda. Chrysler? Fuggedaboutit.
The back of the odyssey collapses
Schubert's Ave Maria really sets the mood...
Overall your analysis is correct. I believe you could add some further observations such as the timing of the airbag deployment. Some seem to take too long to inflate correctly. Also of more significant importance to the driver is whether the steering column moved to the side allowing the drivers head to slide off the airbag and heavily contact the dashboard and other hardware. As this test was done at a reasonable speed, the damage incurred to both vehicle and passengers at higher highway speed would be far more severe! Very telling are the effects to vehicles crashing at highway speeds as seen in the shocking Russian car crash videos. Some are simply mind numbing.
The music makes it peaceful seeing destruction happen
The Nissan Quest is an absolute disaster.
Notice that the safety cage has been compromised so severely that a person couldn't be able to walk again.
I like how the Honda bent a little at the rear lol.
@@marco.morel04 You mean the body?
@@user-vb7pr4oc8d yep
@@marco.morel04 Oh.
Rip all those good minivans all those cars look good
Especially the Town and Country
All of the manufactures failed this test before they update their cars in the next model year to pass it. The EU even complained about the small overlap test. I think only Volvo passed so don't fell bad. No cars before 2017 models did well. BUT remember when we were wee lads riding around with NO ABS, airbags and cars that would not be legal now a days.
You are not well informed. There are cars from 2015 wich did good.
Jacana Productions not true hondas minivans all had the rating of "good" in their minivan crash tests
Watch more crash tests their are more than just Volvos out in the real world
Not honda
@@CaydenLudlow what do you mean not honda they have multiple top safety picks
honda is stronk, thats why i told my mom she made a right choice by buying the 2009 honda accord she has right now, she lost her front bumper one time but then got it fixed
You should check out the 2012 Honda Odyssey in this test.

Nissan Final Quest
Nissan Quest .... they just don't make them like they used to. (In fact, they don't anymore). My 98 Villager was a dream of a vehicle ... lasted so long for so many years while going through more than 5 accidents
How's is Chrysler allowed to even sell that rolling death cage?
IIHS is not run by the government
You guys! What's with the Ave Maria. I'd much rather have a voice over explaining how these crash tests work than some soupy music. Get with it!
Allan Stokell stop being rude to them ya lil brat I agree with those girls
Allan Stokell The Ave Maria is the most APT tune were you to drive the Nissan Quest and get in a crash like that...............
I've been looking at Nissan Quest's for a couple hours today. (Used, of course, as they're no longer made.) "Hmm, I wonder why they're consistently 15-20% cheaper than their competitors?" Now I know why. My thanks to @YourCarAngel ... subbing!
Run!!!!!!! Unreliable money pits! Stick with toyota.
@@Mabeylater293 scotty fanboy
@@Mabeylater293 The nissan Quest other than the safety score is one of the best and is pretty reliable to me as I've owned 1 for 10 years

flavrdPnut hi
I’m guessing that the Good was the Honda Odyssey, the bad were the Chrysler T&C and Nissan Quest, and the ugly is the Toyota Sienna lol 😂
Blank I said “Good”
Why sad music doe??
also at 1:00 the airbag is coming out
wow
HAHA
I feel like many minivans have always scored high. The Nissian's side airbags took a bit to come out.
definitely love the music, thank you much!
Looks like someone has to sell their town and country XDd
best demo i've ever seen, well put in order for safety, i give this a two thumbs up,another fan = BOB MCDONALD
Chrysler Town And Country is a deadly minivan that I would not be caught dead in.
I think the nissan quest is just going was trying to go for only style. They just forgot about the safety of the drivers and car. They failed on looks and safety. I don't know how people bought this car thinking that it was safe. My mom owns the toyota sienna and looms pretty good in crash testing. I think I know why the a pillar collapsed a little bit. It is because the hood is very short and the shock has less time to travel to get to the A pillar. If the hood was longer, then the A pillar might have not been affected. This is just my thoughts
The Kia Sedona is by far the best. You should add it.
i saw the oddseys body shake after the rear door
@Black Buick I feel like that could be a problem
I love Toyota but I think Honda won this test
toyota is unsafe with the 2012 camry too, instead of the airbag staying aligned the airbag spins to the side causing the drivers risk in danger, my aunt has a 2012 toyota camry so im kinda worried

still better than GM's minivans

WOW. I will never ride in a Nissan Quest. Probably not a Chrysler Town and Country either. Wow.
You’d say the same for the older Quest and Leganza
To be fair, the town and country and Nissan quest were shit structurally, so they were naturally retired soon after. The Sedona, and now Pacifica, in addition to the Odyssey and Sienna all do pretty well now.
Please the Toyota was bad too, the dummy went through the airbag in a little corner
My grandad has a quest...but it’s one of the old ones....
This is so helpful for me thanks for upload this
In the quest

Am I the only one who finds the lack of federally mandated rear head restraints (headrests) in a crash test objectionable?
Headrests interact with the head in a forward crash and can either cushion the rearwatd recoil or resist and break the neck depending upon the exact design, adjustment and head mass.
If mandated cabin conditions are not going to be observed, the IIHS results tests are invalid for determining crashworthiness.
pssst3 they need to see the way airbags work and a-pillar intrusion, I guess that’s why we don’t see a head rest - for this camera angle
"Ave Maria," by Franz Schubert, Opus 52, 1825.
What is the name of the music? If you know please reply to me. Thx
Daniel Maggio It says in the description. :)
Sorry I did not know.
The 2005 Chrysler Town and Country would eat the 2015 Chrysler Town and Country for lunch.
The 2005 is WAY WAY stronger
i'm sure that's because the 2005 was a moderate overlap, and the 2015 was a small overlap. any car before 2010 would be demolished in the small overlap
Even though it's a mere 40mph, this is a static barrier, in real life it's like driving 80mph to another moving vehicle
It would be 80 mph against a stationary vehicle, or both cars at 40 mph head-on.
Two cars means two crumple zones, while the crash test is against a non-deformable barrier.
Great tutorial

It’s because Chrysler owns dodge, so think again.

Thank you for the beautiful soundtrack. Too many videos like these have dooshbag music like death metal or rap or that goddamn public domain whistling horseshit.
Damn that wall didn't move a mm
What is your opinion on the 2017 Pacifica? safety/crash wise...
I'm not YourCarAngel but looking at the IIHS page for the 2017 Pacifica shows that it's a Top Safety Pick+ with good ratings and superior front crash protection when you get the Advance Safety Tec optional package with the car. The only slight negative is the difficulty in setting up the LATCH system if you have children who need car seats/booster seats to ride safely. Overall it's one of the safest if not the safest minivan on the market minus the difficulty of using the LATCH system.
well safest if you get one from after August 31st 2016 as vehicles made before then had a defect in the seats
FCA and Nissan selling slick looking garbage as usual
I guess I'll have to save up and buy a Volvo for my fam

don't but crystler town and contry or Nissan quest if ya want i Nissan buy I rogue hands down on of the most reliable cars I own one no problems made in 2017!
This video is scary.
Wow I didn’t know that the 2014 Chrysler town and country is that unsafe to drive.
Even the 96 model which was first tested in he offset test didn’t do very well.
It’s almost as if Americans cars are crap.
Sorry for saying this but the music for this video is very unfitting. Would've been better if you used that piano music instead of sad violin music. Anyways the Nissan Quest was pretty weird.
This is sad seeing these cars getting crashed what a waste, but good for safety
Town and country driver probably lost his legs
I would not be caught dead in a, minivan. Um, oops, I guess I would be caught dead in a minivan afterall.
"Nissan logo left the chat"
Fuel economy = less weight, thin metal, less protection.New car's are filled with plastic.
Why are the front tires white?
More visible
99 percent of all minivans have some giant booster seat inside
Seems obvious but how come an air bag hasn't been installed on that corner between the dash and the A pillar? Almost every driver's head on the offset test ends up going right through that gap.
TrollBuster U want that momentum I guess. If an airbag was inbetween it could break your neck or give u concussion. It's good for the force to move through your body once instead of bouncing from an airbag and have it go back into u again.
Idk really just a guess
The goal of a well designed steering wheel airbag is that it holds the head from sliding around, take note on Toyota and Honda steering wheel airbags and how they manage to hold the head in place.
A badly designed airbag, such as Nissan's or Chrysler's will allow the head to slide off and hit the protruding a pillar and other metal.
TrollBuster I think Nissan decided to put an airbag between the bottom dash and legs but truth be told it did not help
Shit.....I have to drive a 2014 Dodge Caravan for work, welp, RIP me.
