Well, what you could possibly do is create a very thin transparent part that is at the front of the car, and utilize Part.Touched Event which fires when the part is touched by another object, you can also get the parent of the part that touched it, therefore you can do something like

Part.Touched:Connect(function(t_Part)
     if t_Part.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
          print("Part hit a humanoid!")
          return
     end
     print("Part wasnt a humanoid!")
end)

Or something along those lines, you can also use the technique of getting the character from the touching part to do some sort of effect, like ragdolling

No problem! And please, look on the API reference: BasePart | Roblox Creator Documentation so you can understand how to use it, its very important in scripting!

.Touched will definitely work but will probably come with various drawbacks like stutter/lack of smoothness. Raycasting (Raycasting | Roblox Creator Documentation) provides a better alternative for most use cases. It’s marginally more complicated though (and may use more resources, although I haven’t comparatively benchmarked either).
