Are new cars destroyed in commercials?

In some cases, yes. For particularly dramatic commercials, production teams may actually destroy a car in order to capture the desired footage. However, this is not always the case. Sometimes, filmmakers use special effects or computer-generated imagery (CGI) to simulate the destruction of a car without actually harming the vehicle. Additionally, some commercials may use older or damaged vehicles that are no longer in use, rather than destroying a new car.
