Did you know that the Mini Cooper is a full three feet longer than it was when it first came out? Cars are getting bigger every year, and it's not just compact cars, EVERY type of car is getting buff. But why? Join Nolan as we explore the cultural, technological and safety factors that are making cars bigger, and figure out: how big are are they going to get?

@@mjhazelbaker Joe Biden
my guess for 'wider lanes increasing crashes' is that having everyone further apart makes them feel like there's more room for error so people drive less cautiously.
That's partly it but there's another thing we haven't taken into account: wider lanes means less lanes on the road itself. This makes it harder for slower drivers to move so faster drivers can pass them since everyone has less lanes to work with. Plus, the global population's median age has increased over time and we all know the issues older drivers cause on the road. This had lead to greater speed disparities on the road and has caused more accidents and traffic jams as a result since faster/busier drivers get a lot more pissed off and reckless. A two lane road shouldn't be a hassle to travel on but it becomes one when a 65-75 year old grandma going 5-10 mph (8-16 km/h) under the speed limit is at the front of a line slowing everyone else down behind them. The angrier the drivers behind them get, the more likely they will do something drastic to get around them and that will increase the risk of accidents if that driver isn't calculated enough to make such a maneuver safely.
Check out “Confessions of a Recovering Engineer” by Charles Marohn if your interested in lane width among other road safety things
That's part of it but additionally the smaller the lane the faster your brain thinks you're going. So on a smaller road you will subconsciously drive slower than on a bigger road because it seems to you that you're going much faster than you actually are.
Meanwhile my father in law has a 50 year old Cadillac that's longer than today's full size pickups lol
Yes, the longest postwar cars ever were the 1974-76 Cadillac Fleetwood and 1975-79 Lincoln Town Car, both 233" long, and the frightening 1973 Chrysler Imperial, at 235" long, 5" short of 20 feet. Chrysler had met the 1973 5MPH bumper regulations by slapping huge rubber blocks on the bumpers of its cars.
PC No
I love those long boiis
Yea, but thats a classic also there was a lot more space on the road back then!!!
Modern cars may not be as long as ALL 50 year old cars but the SUV's are surpassing many in the length department and ALL in the height department.
Fact that today's SUV's are getting closer or exceeding the dimensions of some cars of the excessive years (no fuel crisis, little to no environment concerns etc.) is even ridiculous.
Yea in the 80s they decided to make everything small
I know it's a sensitive topic, but I'd also like to bring up the obesity rate in America. A growing portion of the American populace cannot comfortably fit in many of the cars that were popular 20+ years ago. I know that sounds like I'm joking, but I'm being genuine.
That's why we made the covid to thin them out.
They just consumed more sensors and airbags
We are axtually legitamately larger framed these days as well. You go back 2-4 generations and the shoulders in my family just get broader and broader. Im the tallest in my family as well. Avg Height in the USA years ago is not nearly as tall as now.
@@leviasher1869 i really hope that we can grow taller and taller over the years like i want my great great great great grandchildren to be like 7 foot
I’m 6’2 but not fat and still have trouble fitting into old cars. My homie has a RX7 I gotta break my back to get into it. It’s a work out getting in and out. It’s so low to the ground like shit is so annoying. So when we chill I usually drive (2014 Acura TL SH)!
When I was working as a carpenter, I looked into getting a truck and my main problem with all of them was the height. You get a truck to haul your tools, all these trucks were too tall for me to grab a tool from the bed without hopping up into it. I had no need for a massive hunk of metal just to bring my ~200 lbs of tools to a site. Heck, put in a lumber rack and I could probably be better off with a short bed and extended cab.
When Telsa unveiled the CYBERTRUCK I was actually bummed. A TH-camr had converted her Model 3 into a truck by replacing the back seats with a bed and mounting a lumber rack. That was WAY more of a truck for me than an armored behemoth made for the end of the world.
even as someone who often has to work on trucks theyre so needlessly big, the engine bay is almost entirely empty space, the beds arent much bigger and the interiors feel like livingrooms, its ridiculous, when people were hauling the exact same shit in the back of their trucks that were half the size 30 years ago
Wouldn't you get a van if you are in the trades?
Try the l200, hilux, old Tacoma, x class (its big but not as big as an American) those are light pickups that are mostly used for light duty works and easy off roading unless you're a og top gear fan and will abuse the old Toyotas
sounds like you need an australian style "truck", we make them out of sedans so they're lower. or we used to.... god knows what's happening with cars here these days
@@isthatrubble that would be greatly preferable to the giant expensive behemoths they're making these days. For real, a three foot bed and collapsible lumber racks that could carry sheet goods would solve 99.9% of my needs for a truck.
I parked my 2017 Honda Civic next to my co worker's 94 Civic the difference in size is kind of mind boggling. The Civic now was what the Accord was back then, probably even bigger.
Its why they had to introduce the Fit (and Corolla had to have a Echo under it)...pisses me off that we dont have actual compact cars anymore.
Back in the day : The car kills you.
Now : The insurance bill kills you.
If cars keep getting safer, why doesn't insurance get cheaper? If anyone says price is a factor. We should then price out the safety equipment and receive a deductible.
@@TeamEmperor hey man keep this to yourself, I dont want you dying of suicide
British car insurance: Is it too much to have both?
@@TeamEmperor Because while vehicles are safer for those inside the vehicle, meaning the fatality rate drops, we still average around 6,000,000 crashes/year, which means medical bills and property damage has to be paid for.
@@velohench And even if crashes go down, the repair bills generally go up, because there is an entire subset of the automotive industry built on the premise of overcharging for accident repairs because the insurer is paying for it.
Take whatever quote a body shop gives you to fix some damage to your car out of pocket, and expect them to charge at least 50% more if the insurance is paying for it (by changing other bits that didn't need to be changed, inflating the hours etc).
Insurance is expensive, in part, because the car repair shops will charge them 1500 dollars to replace a bumper.

Thank you for asking for a small truck! I've been pounding the table for years about this. If you live in the city but still need (or want) a truck, there's not much out there. Most undergrounds can't fit trucks these days. Even Tacoma's are too big for many of them in any practical way. Put and Ranger in the dryer and lemme at it! There's absolutely a major market out there for a badass truck that happens to be small.

I really like compact cars, they've very popular here in Europe because you can park them virtually anywhere and generally they get better mileage. Skoda Fabia's are extremely safe cars that are cheap, compact and reliable. I also suspect its part of the reason that pickup trucks aren't popular, you can do more with a van thats smaller than a pickup truck.
Much of Europe is constrained by the fact that cities and roads are designed and roads which were intended for horse-drawn carriages. Unless you’re going to nuke London & Paris & redesign them from scratch big cars will always struggle there…
I think it's amazing how bigger new cars are yet the interiors have no space inside.
So true... sadly
Safety takes up all the spaces.... The pillars on my X5 are massive can hardly see anything to the side of you.
I've noticed a lot of sedans in recent years with roofs that slope like that of a coup. What's the point of making a 4 door car if the rear passengers have no room for their heads?
Economy seats on passenger planes have more room than gigantic SUVs of today
Marketing
A lot of people like Matt Farah blame the “Mommy Bloggers” who “Review cars” or participate in focus groups for always saying that they wish it had more room for x,y,z.
xD
i don't quite understand what you're trying to say
Brent McKibbin why so much. Seems kinda extreme to so much respect for someone you don’t agree with them when it comes to the size of cars lol.
Brent McKibbin Americans love huge cars and it’s been that way since the beginning. Cars in American were gigantic up until the oil crisis.
People need to remember that car enthusiasts make up like 5% of people that buy cars new, of course car manufacturers are going to cater to the majority.
At least Mazda has somehow kept the ND MX-5 relatively small and pretty lightweight compared to the NC. It's a boat.

Great video! Based take on the growing size of vehicles.
One point though, safety, for those inside the car* while making the car more dangerous for those outside the car by increasing the cars kinetic energy. There's also a phenomenon where the safer a driver feels in their car, the more recklessly they drive.

Cars have been getting faster/more powerful but speed limits have remained the same. Well done, car manufacturers!
I was thinking when he said that, that the only reason they got faster is for manufacturers to brag about it. In day to day life size is more important (at least in Europe) because many of those bigger cars are the worst when it comes to finding a place to park somewhere. They literally can't be fitted in some place that is supposed to be able to have one car. They take up almost 2 car spaces. I would prefer to cars even get a little slower for the safety reasons and remain their size instead of getting faster and thus bigger so they can fit all those safety features that would not have to be there

So that it will make space for new models to sit below that model.

Oil crisis my dude
Same with everything. Technology gets developed and more and more gets packed in to make the product better. Then we find a way to make that technology more compact and efficient so that same product gets smaller. Then consumers get greedy so they want bigger things so that product gets bigger again.

1970s Literal Land Boats- IF YOU ASK ME, THEY ARENT BIG ENOUGH!
I call em land yachts
it more the best selling model they made it more wider.. and they like to trick you to buy bigger car.. so if you compare old 5 series.. to new 3 series.. it about the same size and weight..
I mean, in those you could sometimes fit 6 adults in one bench seat. Many modern cars are pretty big, but the way they are inside sometimes makes sitting in a small SUV worse than in a backseat of a muscle car.
Interestingly that age of car coincided with low fuel prices... until the oil crisis kicked in, allowing Japanese/Euro cars to take over :)
I spotted a Lincoln Continental at a parking lot in a tiny European town. I had to stop and stare at how outrageously vast it was. It had a larger footprint than the big work-van parked next to it, while just having 2 doors. It's as though the designers went out of their way to make the body as long and wide as possible.

A lot of it is showboating as well. An example that wasn't mentioned is the emblem on basically any domestic truck & SUV. Used to be, the blue oval was a tiny emblem a few inches wide, and now you can read *FORD* on the grille from a mile away. Bolded for emphasis lol

This is creep AF, I was writing nearly word for word the exact same point and joke.
@@grecoconduris6716 not really creepy because it is like the most overused joke structure that exists right now
@@jasrob419 that is true and a good point. But not everyone knows of the TFG engine from Koenigsegg
Europe (Czech Republic):
Minimal width of line without any signs: 2.5m (even in curves).
Some older roads do not even have width signs and the width is about 2m in each direction. It is up to you so slow down from 90/100kph to an appropriate speed (and get 2 wheels out of the road) if you are passing some big vehicle and find a spot to do it safely (not in curves, not under trees).
There are some crashes due to this.
The motto I live by:
"Safety ruins everything."
*sad pop-up headlight noises
Except when it keeps you alive after someone crashes into you like someone did to me at an intersection when they ignored a traffic signal and tee-boned my car. The car was ruined but I survived with relatively minor injuries.
@@glennso47 Right? I hate the people who think that they are such good drivers and that they will never crash, and they hate modern cars because of their safety features.
The new ranger is dimensionally the same size as a 90's F150... yeah...
When the ford focus is as big as a Cherokee
Never selling my 88 hilux. Mini truck for life
The new Mustang is dimensionally the same as the 1971 Mustang.

love the new Ranger
just bought a hoodie! love u guys
In the US yeah. Isn't happening in many other countries. In Japan, they cancelled the Honda Civic since it wasn't selling, being too big.
In Italy, something like a VW Golf stands out because it looks like a freaking limousine compared to everything else.

They cancelled the Civic? They still have a page for it on the Japanese website.

Did you guys hear? The first Up To Speed back is going to be on Mr. Pump!
I've always preferred smaller cars, and I thought I had one in my '15 mustang. But then I bought an early 90s E30, and it's like 2/3 the size even in the 4 door version. Crazy. Now I feel like the mustang is a boat

Same question was probably asked from the '50's through the '70's.
“The national average for a gallon of gas hasn’t taught $3 since 2014.”
*Cries in California*
California ,hates anything when it comes to something mechanical and mobile.
dont know what the gas price is in californa, but try sweden 5.8 dollars/gallon 😅😅
There's no reason it should be that much EVER. Its just to pad someone's pockets while robbing people. In my state they offer ZERO alternative fuels yet they complain about our oil use
@@EpicDJKitty Yep New Zealand $5.30 USD per gallon, but want expensive, go to Hing Kong $8.56 USD per Gallon, Hell even Netherlands is $7 USD
USA is super cheap, the only nations cheaper are the Middle east, the cost to drive a Massive gas guzzler in America is usually the same for a 4 cylinder in other countries around the world.
I was going to complain that in Mexico gas is around 4/4.5 dlls per gallon, but I saw the comments about sweden and honk kong so I think it's okay... But! In Mexico the avg salary is around 500/600 dls per month so yeah, it's bad
I loved my little 1999 single cab Toyota Tacoma. It was so small and easy to park, I now drive a super cab, 8 foot bed 2013 F250. It's hard to park this beast.
Great video Nolan!🇺🇸
Me: Sees title
Also me: Idk. But the grills on the BMWs will
I was thinking this too 😂
Nah nothing compared to GMCs
Lexsus has a grille fetish as well.
FUN FACT: Some of those crash dummies are people that donated their body to Science
That's creepy af
This is true, I know bc I was one of those dummies
I can also vouch. We're dummies that test high speed crashes!
To sacrifice my own life to science 🇵🇰
After they harvest my organs, I want them to stuff my body with candy and use me for a test dummy.

1985: Marty Mcfly Has a sick Toyota truck 2020: The Toyota has 12 airbags.
Wasn't it a Pickup/Hilux?
@@MilesPrower1992 Look up the image.
The Toyota pickup truck that Marty drove in 1985 wasn't a Tacoma. It was simply called the Toyota Pickup. The name for the Toyota Tacoma didn't come out until the mid 90s.
11:20 - The SUVs people buy with base engines like 2.5L turbo 4 cylinders need to be revved out a lot more to get into the power that's needed to make big vehicles move. And that just means the engine falls apart sooner because it is overstressed. It won't actually save money in the long run and will lead to more waste because vehicles will fail sooner. No replacement for displacement still rings true. Throwing on a turbo just means your choosing to amplify a certain part of the engine's power curve. Which means sacrificing peak horsepower for more low-end grunt or vice versa. Even with variable turbo technology you are stressing the engine out quite significantly for what usually ends up being very little fuel savings in larger vehicles.
Yep. Like I said in the other posts.
If Vehicle Manufactures , are concerned about Fuel Economy and Performance. They can always make V8 Smaller Block Engines of 4.0 Liters to 3.8 Liters.
Turbochargers and Superchargers can be options . While V8 Engines of Big Blocks and Small Blocks of 7.5 Liters and 5.0 Liters can be options also. They got the technology to make the engines also Straight Forward when it comes to not having complications and be Fuel Efficient.
No disadvantage for diesel (cold exhaust =no turbo wear,no knock=no limits on boost pressure, quality control=no lag, better engine housing to withstand diesel cycle no engine wear due to increased pressure). And for SI 5 years back it was ok as long as 1L=100hp. Now with Atkinson cycle and electrically supported turbos maybe a nice super-cap combo lag is manageable and increased torque can be traded for better economic at lower loads. So do not worry to much. While both waste-gate and variable turbo work best at one operating point as you point out, hybridization can completely make up for that. plus they can still operate over a wider band of rpm and at least support the engine a little. The torque curve should be designed for the task so that you do not need to rev to 4000rpm to get the turbo going. And i mean you could always either get power or eco and a modern turbo lets you decide with a kiss to the throttle. The times of turbos needing additional cooling by flooding them with fuel are over.
@Saint Fifty One for gasoline, yes. For diesel, no. Appart from the price neiter the added complexity nor the maintenance is enourmous. I mean in the Rally Dakar some manufacturers went from 4WD to 2WD because it is less maintenance, but they kept turbos. If you need a transporter for the cheapest price and low end torque, sure go for the 3L NA version, but in all other cases...
Depends large SUVs like Expedition, Tahoe 100% need that bigger engine. Min V6 Turbo putting in a 4 banger is such a large vehicle is dumb and no efficient. Smaller SUVs like the CRV and Ford escape can get away with a smaller Turbo 4 cylinder, biggest issue is maintenance. People never maintain their oil and its always been an issue. Now with Turbo engines becoming more popular those engines need regular oil changes because they will always burn a little oil and run hot.
@@Crazycro905 both honda and ford tried making 1.5l turbo engines fort the CRV and Escape. Fords engine was an overheating lemon, and Hondas engine didn't like head gaskets very much and was constantly diluting oil. The compact SUV segment is just stupid from the get go. People are paying more for a car that sits slightly higher on the road. 99% of buyers would be more than fine with a full sized sedan or wagon. And if people are always in need of the little extra space, they could probably use the larger engine as well.
Fun fact. Pelvic injury is the silent killer. As we have major blood vessels often getting punctured or ripped by the breaking of the pelvic bone one bleeds out rather quickly.

Have you seen the grill on the 2020 truck lineup???? I'm 6'4 and would need a ladder just to work on one of those suckers.
We had a 1979 Ford Ranger 4x4 growing up and it was a full size truck with a long bed. The one that was the 1979 Ford Big Foot truck used. So, it went from a large truck to a small truck and back to a large truck. LOL.....
In Hingham Massachusetts they were looking at doing a road diet on Route 38 heading towards whole Massachusetts where Nantasket beaches. Fancy put some barriers up just an experiment to see how it would work. People with home astronaut happy about it. Currently the road is off the diet.
