Soviet cars didn't need crumple zones because they were built on a frame, and chassis was like 2 mm steel. Among western cars only true 4x4 (not SUV) and lorries would have equally heavy construction, which was a benefit when you crash into something but also results in like 15-20 liters per 100 km gasoline consumption.

Believe me, my first car was Uaz 452 and second - Gaz 69 😂
