This post covers the timeline for air bag fitment of midsize cars between 1989 and 1998. Midsize luxury cars are not included; this is the standard midsize market, exemplified by models such as the Honda Accord, Pontiac Grand Prix, Toyota Camry, Ford Taurus, etc. This is one of the largest segments of the market, and 19 models are compared here. The dates were chosen to frame the introduction period of air bags for both driver and passenger; none of these 18 vehicles offered an air bag in 1989, while dual air bags were federally required from the 1998 model year.
