Watch In Horror As A Nissan Tsuru Disintegrates During Crash Testing
For every narrow escape from death we read about or see courtesy of dash-cam footage, there’s a crash where someone isn’t so lucky, and the difference is often the car itself.
In regions like Latin America and India the safety standards are nowhere near where North America and Europe are at, and the local wings of Global NCAP are trying to change that.
With a Latin NCAP rating system from zero to five, this shocking footage shows a four-star Nissan Versa in a front three-quarter collision with a zero-star Nissan Tsuru. The latter’s A-pillar folds terrifyingly, with the interior footage showing just what an impact the driver’s face and body would sustain. Horrible.
After seeing the results, Nissan immediately withdrew the Tsuru from sale. You have to wonder how many lives that decision might ultimately save…

I thought it was an e30
And that, was the end of that…A Nissan we’ve never heard of is withdrawn from sale, and all is well with the world now…..
I would rather drive a 20-years old car than this. Or in case of Volvos or Saabs even 30-years old ;D
When I saw this…
Ouch!
Oh,just watched saw this in the morning
That day was not Sunny..
How was that car being sold as “NEW”??? looks like its straight out of the early 90’s
Actually now that you mention it, doesnt VW still sell the mk1 golf in South Africa?
Im from Mexico, and they are going to discontinue the nissan tsuru because at the year 2020 the government increase the safety regulations on car (obligatory 2 airbags and Abs system). Also is one of the car with major number of sales in Mexico… Just because reliability of the tsuru (Or a nissan sentra b13)
