Mainly the front and back. The part where the people sit is stronger. Front and rear body panels are designed to fold (or crumple) in a certain way. Plastic bumpers are the first to give but this has little effect in slowing down any impact. Next, the chassis legs and inner wings and outer wings are designed to fold progressively to slow the impact down, even the air in the tyres can help here, acting like a cushion. Engines and gearboxes on the subframe should go downward as well, and the steering column is collapsible (like a telescope).

What are statistics regarding crumple zones?
The crumple zones of cars are normally at the front because it is estimated that 65% of the car impacts occur on the front side. The crumple zone is aimed at absorbing the impact of a crush to secure the passengers.
Does car size correlate to car safety?
not really. if you have efficient crumple zones and air bags, you will be safer. the crumple zones take away the force of the collision, and the air bags help you to not get whiplash or brain yourself against the dashboard.
Why do cars have crumple zones?
crumple zones absorb impact damage to protect the passenger cell
How do crumple zones prevent damage or injury?

How many Lives do crumple zones save per year Please?
Crumple zones are designed to absorb and dissipate energy during a collision, significantly reducing the risk of injury or death for occupants. While exact figures can vary by region and study, it's estimated that crumple zones save thousands of lives annually in the United States alone. Overall, advancements in vehicle safety, including crumple zones, contribute to a decline in fatalities and serious injuries in car accidents.
What are crumple zones and what are they good for?
crumple zones are areas on a car's body that have been designed to collapse in the event of a collision. They are useful in a collision to absorb some of the energy which makes the collision feel less severe to the occupants of the car and reduce the damage they sustain as a result of the collision.
What are crumple zones and how do they work in cars?
Crumple zones are zones built into cars that crumple in a controlled manner. The main crumple zones are at the front and the rear of a vehicle. On impact, they crumple up in a controlled manner, which stops the force energy reaching the occupants and injuring them. The crumple zone dissipates the energy Advantage :they save lives by stopping forceful energy Disadvantage: they can kill occupants in severe accidents because in high speed impacts they can dislodge the dashboard from the frame of the body Potential collapse of the footwells, trapping the driver and passenger Crumple zones can be recognised by bent body panels.
Where is a crumple zone?
Typically, crumple zones are located in the front part of the vehicle, in order to absorb the impact of a head-on collision, though they may be found on other parts of the vehicle as well.
