Here's an interesting video for comparison (NOTE THAT THE TITLE IS INCORRECT AND IT'S AN A4) - the one above is into a solid concrete block (notice how little intrusion there is into the passenger compartment)

This one is into an offset deformable barrier (honeycomb of aluminium which represents the stiffness of a 'real car' of similar design) which can be seen post-impact at about 2.5 mins in.

What you do not want to see is the deformation of the A pillar you see in this video - that's a structural integrity failure, which means the energy is no longer being managed by the crash structures.
