There are many examples where even a 1-year gap in make year will greatly increase the safety of passengers: https://youtu.be/85OysZ_4lp0 https://youtu.be/85OysZ_4lp0 (2015 Nissan Tsuru vs. 2016 Nissan Versa) https://youtu.be/5dQbSn94rUQ https://youtu.be/5dQbSn94rUQ (2015 and 2019 Jeep Cherokee driver-side small overlap IIHS crash test comparison) https://youtu.be/ul_uiq-HJPM https://youtu.be/ul_uiq-HJPM (2016 and 2019 Honda HR-V driver-side small overlap comparison) https://youtu.be/C_r5UJrxcck https://youtu.be/C_r5UJrxcck (the most extreme comparison - 1959 Chevrolet Bel Air vs. 2009 Chevrolet Malibu)
