Would be very interesting to see the results of a modern Sienna vs. Accord under the same conditions.
Holy cow the passenger airbag in the Previa is immense.
I had a '93 model (last year pre-airbag) and you needed to catch a cab to get to the windshield from the front of the dash.
It is!
Right!!!!
@@deloreanman14 Hello, I am from Chile and I am interested in buying the same model from the year 93 ', they sell it at a good price here in my country. Could you tell me how the vehicle is if it is worth buying, I would like to know about your experience.
@@ZonaPlaybook toyota previas are million mile vehicles. with proper Maintenance they are the toyota helux of vans. they where made 1991-1997(1998 in Canada). 1994-1998 are supercharged!. there good on gas 20-23 mpg. i have a few vids on my channel of my 1996 previa they are pretty much all the same cosmetically other than Toyota tweaking things like shapes of reservoirs window tint speaker positioning sun roof options radio/amp configurations. if you have any questions in your hunt for a previa feel free to ask!!!!!!
Passenger airbags from before 1998 were so aggressive that in many vehicles you'd be better off without them. Part of the reason is government regulation: back then, cars were crash tested into a wall at 30 mph with unbelted 50th percentile male dummies (5'10, about 175 lbs), and the airbags had to prevent the dummies from striking the dashboard or windshield, or at least mitigate such contact to a level where serious injury would be unlikely. This effort to make cars safer for the unbelted Beavii and Butt-Heads actually had the opposite effect, making the cars less safe overall for the belted. Not only did these early airbags cause about 300 deaths to children and small adults, they were usually too firm to provide ideal protection. It wasn't uncommon for HICs to be in the 700-1000 range, and occasionally higher, on these early airbag cars in a 35-mph barrier test. Once "depowered" second generation airbags, which didn't have to pass quite as severe of an unbelted test, came out in 1998, deaths from airbag deployment dropped by 90% and the protection offered by the airbags improved. Advanced airbags, which came out on most cars starting in 2004-2007, virtually eliminated deaths and provide even better protection. Nowadays the unbelted test is done at 25 mph with 5' tall, 110 lb 5th percentile female dummies, which puts a lot less stress on the airbags.
I drive a 2011 Honda Accord. It wouldn't be very good at providing protection for unbelted occupants; its airbag system seems to have been designed to optimize protection for belted occupants, like most vehicles of the past 15 years. Even in the 25 mph unbelted test, the 5th percentile female dummy almost hit the windshield. It would not be able to pass the pre-1998 unbelted test, the airbags are too small and soft. But the belted tests are what counts, and it tells a different story: 5 stars for both driver and passenger in NHTSA's 35 mph full frontal crash test, and passed with flying colors in IIHS' offset test with a Good rating and all Good sub-ratings. And airbags like the ones in the 2011 Accord aren't killing people. I actually know someone who's about the size of the 5th percentile dummy, maybe slightly bigger. A 2009 Accord's seat belt and driver airbag protected her in a major front crash, and didn't injure her in the process.
Bottom line is, today's cars are safer than ever for people who buckle their seat belts. I'm glad we moved past the "Mike Tyson" airbags of the '90s to today's advanced airbags. I wouldn't put myself behind many of the pre-1998 airbags and I'm 28 years old, 6' tall and 225 pounds.
As for this Previa's passenger airbag, it actually is designed better than many of the pre-1998 passenger airbags, but it's still rather poorly designed. I'd give it a D; probably close to half of passenger airbags of the era would get an F, some of the better designs (exemplified by Honda and Mercedes-Benz, though there are some others) would get a C and maybe a rare B. (My Accord, by comparison, would be an A, but not quite an A-plus). The airbag does deploy upward so it would probably miss a child in many circumstances, and I didn't find any instances where a Previa's passenger airbag killed a child (although it could in the wrong circumstances). That being said, the severe impact of the airbag with the head shows that it's oversized and over-aggressive.

Cool post.
SUPER interesting post, thank you
I miss my 92 Previa, it never once broke down even at 280k miles
Surprised to see the Previa did so well, despite its poor performance in the IIHS moderate overlap test. However I guess this test is slower that 40mph, uses a different angle that gives more of an overlap, and uses an Accord rather than a deformable barrier. So I guess I should have expected better performance, but still surprising.
Lower speed and a greater weight differential are main factors. If I remember correctly, the IIHS test simulates hitting a vehicle of similar weight (within 500 pounds).
@@deloreanman14 The accord weighed 2855 lbs and the Previa weighed 3755lbs.. so a 900 pound difference
In this test, based on my visual research, it did NOT do well. On the inside, you can see the A Pillar caved in. The under the dash, it moved back, trapping the driver's leg in the process.
It seems like this was really more a test of the Accord given that the Previa was larger and got the benefit of having the impact spread across the entire front of the car more or less, whereas the smaller Accord got hit at a pretty unusual angle. They didn't really build or test for these kinds of crashes back in the 90s.
I feel the test was rigged against the accord. The angle allows for some of the energy from the previa to continue as kinetic energy when it swivals. Whereas the accord is forced to stop instantly.
Wherever you find these- these are very fascinating and I absolutely love them. Keep it up!
that previa has the biggest ass airbag ive ever seen
those cars would have still been running after the test, both of those can last over 200k miles
not the accord, its block was probably snapped in half
Can you do the Sienna one?
That 97 Accord definitely had a passenger airbag. Was it disabled for the camera to watch the driver? No vehicles had occupancy sensors in the passenger seat back in those days.
A lot of times they'll disable unnecessary airbags to prevent them from firing in the camera's line of sight.
CarPro1993 lol that’s what IIHS should have done for that Jeep Wrangler side test
I'm sure they didn't anticipate the dual airbags to fire in a side impact.
Pretty sure because there's no passenger there. (Haven't watched the video yet)
@@0w3nn Yeah there isn’t a passenger sitting there but they had to disable the passenger airbag in this case.
Gold plated logos and supercharged? Why didn't they get the base model and not waste such a rare, supercharged (extra rare with the gold badging) Previa like this
My Sister in law had a 96 previa SC Thing had three hundred thousand miles on it When it was wrecked ! Seventy year old woman crossed the line hit her head on in a Ford Explorer ! About 2 yrs ago Her and her six kids were fine She had a bruise from the seatbelt on her chest
She lucky as hell those things are so unsafe
@Tommy-qe6fh it was a vast improvement over her old 1987 Chevy sprint she had lol
Where can I watch all the videos from this Vehicle to Vehicle Crash test?
Yeah I’d like to know also
thank you!!
That Previa at the Accord for breakfast, lunch, and dinner...
The weird Toyota previa boy how weird but cool it was, I have seen only one of these minivans in either towards the end of 2019 or the start of 2020 at salvation army! yeah someone still has one of these but I haven't seen it since I saw it again at my local pizza ranch
(Accord)ing to research, the Honda (accord) is safer XD
Keep in mind the research was proportionate to its own weight. The research would be if an Accord crashed into an Accord, and if a Previa crashed into a Previa. The weight difference and angle goes in the Previa’s favor, so the Honda looks unsafe, but proportionate to its own weight the Honda is safer.
What is the rec date?
January 10, 2004.
Angle of the test was in key factor. This was very bad for the Accord. Why? Previa used full front to absorb the crash energy and Accord used only half of the front to absorb the crash energy. Those older model hondas are also weak and it is smaller than Previa. This is what I mean: ua-cam.com/video/CumXdbckC18/v-deo.html
I thought this as well
Me watching this in my 2000 accord
👁👄👁
Might be safer than the 97
Oblique crashes account for less than 10% of all crashes. I'm guessing this is strictly for data purposes to say they did it, than any real concern.
Where do you find that info out ?
Actually, it's about half of all crashes.
Jesus Christ did they have to paint yellow eyes on the dummies. Fuck that’s gonna be in my nightmares
Accord people have very serious ingurys
Volvo 👍
what a waste of a supercharger previa
I feel the test was rigged against the accord. The angle allows for some of the energy from the previa to continue as kinetic energy when it swivals. Whereas the accord is forced to stop instantly.
Pervia was bad not Astro or Dust Buster Lumia bad but bad enough
แอคคอดยับเปิงเลย ถ้าคนจริงคงขี้แตกตายคาซากไปแล้ว
wow, I owned a 95 accord, awful ...
The Toyota Previa did good better but nonetheless the Honda Accord has very weak structural performance and did not do well
We hope that the Toyota Previa in the IIHS is rated poor and the Honda Accord only rates an acceptable rating
This isn't an equal force crash though, of course the Previa did better, it was the one doing the crashing. Crash something into the Previa at a 30 degree angle and it'll do poorly too.
Toyota 1
Honda 0
Can you do the Sienna one?
