I'd like to see a crash showing how lethal metal bull bars on pick-ups and 4x4s can be

that was a nice passat

Something to consider is just how little the van actually crumples. Any energy the car doesn't soak up goes straight into the people in it.

I drive a passat like that and i feel quite safe in it

In Serbia they would fix that passat afterwards and sell it as a "first color, accident free"

"These're called vans." Wow, I see them everywhere, I always wondered what they were called 🙄

Moral of the story: Don't transport bags of sand in the back.

Why the cargo was not secured! It is not the van design fault it is the person that loaded the van.

"These are vans" Well thanks for clearing that one up Fifth gear. All these years I've been driving I wondered what they were called!

the van looks safe for me ~

I had to do deliveries for my workplace a year or so back while another employee was on medical leave. Driving a typical Chevy van, I had a payload of heavy steel in the back. Coming down a hill, I had to slam on the breaks when a car ran a light. I was able to stop, but the load didn't. It kept moving until it slammed into the back of my seat. There was no barrier between the back and the front. It was absolutely jarring. It cracked the bottom of my seat. It killed my back.

4:45 lol

cant they set up a fucking camera

I notice that the van stopped initially, then moved again when the sand hit the back of the seat.

Damn Daniel, back at it again with the white van

I watched van testing for internal load movement at MIRA in the early 80's ( 83 I think ) . You have to be impressed how the industry has avoided doing anything .

4:27 I would take that wheel cover for my friend's Sprinter xD

"These are Vans." Those Vans must be made for the feet of giants!

4:40 him: ''man that's not going to polish out." Horn:(honks) don't listen to him!

I was in a Safari van at a red light, when a 2002 Honda Accord hit me from behind going 50-55. I am still suffering from it. The Honda however only had a few scratches on it. The Safari van was totaled. Very surprising results.

3:25 you can actually see when the sand hit the back of the seats. It makes the van travel a bit further

Rip van 2001-2014

Also a lot of vans in the uk don’t have a wood border Actually ones that only carry lighter things Most vans have a very good structural metal border between the cab and the cargo area that can usually hold more than 1 ton of a crash happens

A perfectly nice Passat was wasted. And it held up well.

R.I.P. passat

bloody hell, I lost a friend 5 years ago, to exactly the same kind of crash and same vehicles and surprising the same speed and head on... this was incredible to see

This is why am a ford fan. The ford transit got five stars. And looks awesome for a van.

"The Ford Transit managed a 5 star, the other couldn't beat a measly 3" Murica! IIHS and NHTSA are the reason for the season!

Thanks for showing us that!!!

A 1 ton load of sand is not "a typical payload", no way. You get sand like that delivered off a truck with a crane. Rarely do builders carry it.

This is exactly why I love Ford so much! They're so safe! :)

Such a good test, but I have to say it seems you didn't set up enough camera's specially for the interior facing the dummy.

I had a Fiat Ducato and I loved it! Safe as houses compared to a car. My safety cage did take a hit from 1ton IBC when I had to a safety manoeuvre. Also it should be tied down. The load should stay in position locked up against the floor step.

Why didn’t they say anything about the passat

Good passat

I needed that Passat...

rip passat -_-

That shit`ll buff out.

0:39 oh thank you for that useful information I would have never have known that! Yeah right

Wow, so amazing Van Crash.

Well I feel sorry for the Passat, you ruined a top A grade looking passat, with a highline equipment! GJ!

Get in there transit!!

Great video.

If you want even more OOMPH! on your winch, switch that 7.4 for the '96 L29

do you know something abut crash test of alfa romeo 166?

This made me cry l love golf cars R.I.P

Очень реалистичные краш-тесты :)

Fajny crash test!!!🙂🤗

when i just saw the intro i instantly subscribed

Vauxhall Movano, also known as Opel Movano and Renault Master. same thing diffrent badge. you see this alot when it comes to Commercial vehicles Pegheot and Citroen has had a similar relationship with Fiat for years now.

I've been in a 60mph head on crash in a volvo s60, around the same age as that passat, i was in the backseat and just walked away, just had a little bump on my head

When the horn went off I pissed my self his reaction 😂

a good van driver knows that the load needs to be against the barrier and Always needs to be strapped down, i knew from the start when they put in that big bag of sand that would happen... if they put the bag more towards the barrier or against the barrier ther would be more weight on the frontwheels and that would press the nose down a bit more and than you had a bit less chance for the van to override the passat.. but still it would push the passat back like this because of the totall mass of the van + load...

I NEED MORE CRASHES TEST

I avoid injury by simply not crashing or taking unnecessary risks... Cab, Audi, van, Mercedes, and BMW drivers.

4.46 he proper shits himself when the horn goes off 😂

Glad to have a full, solid bulkhead in my transit.

Damn Daniel, Back at it again with the white "vans"

Why ruin a nice Passat?

03:55 ginger beer lol😁

Merry Christmas

I just noticed that a little spray of sand comes out through the top of the van's sliding door just after the impact.

it is good u tested it!

Video muchas helpful

GOOD Opel Movano

Wow that is relly cool

How to protect yourself from whiplash? You wouldn't have been able to get whiplash 7 times if I had of protected myself from it.

Omg I never knew what a van was

you can do it for mercedes c 220. 2004?

THIS is what new Top Gear should be like

in my opinion all vans should have a metal wall between the seats and the land area

شكرا

Lo sacaste se un episodio de CIRCUITO DE PRUEBA

I also have a omni van 2003 model very safe

"These are called vans." Yep. And that is called a god awful beard.

I'm curious if that 7.4 L V8 Chevy pickup may be an American import to the UK.

excelent!

I love it

one of my mates knows a guy who drove head on into a building, he was driving a Ssangyong Rexton, a big 4x4 thingy. he hit a steel pillar in the building at about 85 mph, he walked away from the accident, but there was several screwdrivers stuck in the dashboard beside him, they came from an open toolbox in the back of the car.

"These are called vans"? Jesus...

That’s why Vans & HGV’s have slower speed limits than cars & coaches.

How much speed?

where is the video of the same cars different hight test ?

meu coraçao doi de ver isso

My mate's dad works for the company who supplied the bags of sand in the back of the van!

I had go there for years ag

how did you start your channel?

I really rate Fifth gear crash videos. I drive a Boxer Camper and I reckon the furnishings would not be safe in a serious accident..... better drive safely then !

3:34 good LIFE like !!!

“These are vans” Me: I’m pretty sure I didn’t just enter the world. I think I know what a van is.

Damn Daniel! 👟

3:20, uh oh uh oh noooo ahhhh =explodes=

Yes that was a Nice passat

I didn't know they were called vans. They looked like fighter jets

I'll take the van

No etracks, no ratchet straps this was a unsecured load.

So in this particular type of impact, the occupants of the car would have been worse off as the car was pushed backwards on impact. This is assuming that the van had no load in the rear and air bags fitted.

thanks for boys

RIP poor Movano and Passat :(
