I am all for a sporty car having neutral handling and being able to oversteer easily. Lots of fun! That being said, with modern stability systems there is no excuse for not being able to pass this test with the system on.
Yeah, the fact that the RAV4 failed was puzzling. The majority of modern Toyotas (pretty much anything since the 2005 Highlander onward) have a "Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management" system that can react to (and predict) vehicle behavior 1,000 times every second. Theoretically, it's impossible to spin.
The A-class - in german 'A-Klasse' - was quickly nicknamed 'Vält-Klasse'. 'Weltklasse', which is german translates roughly to Top Notch and 'Välta' means turning over in Swedish.
The Citroen Xantia Activa still holds the record for highest speed and greatest stability... This test with cones is so artificial and hitting a few cones does not prove instability or lack of safety... but nearly rolling is pretty radical...
I owned a Xantia 1.9 TD and we took our 15 year old Citroen way into the Aussie outback to the Flinders Ranges, up the Oodnadatta Track and down to Coober Pedy... fabulous comfort and economy, where nearly every other vehicle was a four wheel drive... Such a great car... Also loved my DS, GS & CX.
@@mtnman1984 yup the computers are more than fast enough to take the input from steering wheel and figure out where drivers want to go and brake the correct wheel to pull the car the way you want.
No surprise that a refrigerator on wheels doesn't corner too well. I see you didn't show a Miata/MX5 of any year doing the course. Why? 2400lbs 50/50 weight distribution! It's been one of the best, if not the best, autocross vehicle since inception.
That ain't rocket science - it's basic physics. We have been building low, wide cars that don't roll since the 1922 Lancia Lambda. And then, about 25 years ago, we started building tall, heavy vehicles with a high centre of gravity. Unsurprisingly, they are unstable and roll over easily. Well, duh!
Have a look at the stability tests done by the channel car hub. Little pretend SUVs are lethal People sacrifice so much just to sit 10 inches higher Worse fuel consumption, more weight, worse handling, higher centre of gravity, increased brake and tyre wear and a higher price to buy. Do people really need one that badly ?
Hilux suspension isnt soft by any means though thats to be expected as most pickups outside the US are designed to carry heavy loads on a regular basis.
These results should be considered fairly typical for many of those vehicles in my opinion. As far as the Citroen that holds the speed record. Very good results for the manufacturer! But that vehicle was made during a time when the vehicles were a lot lighter. When you couple the vehicle weight with the advanced anti roll system that it has, you end up with very good handling. The anti-roll system that it has, rivals Mercedes Benz top of the line options. Mercedes Benz does have active anti-roll systems, instead of the anti-roll bar, they do it with Hydraulic Struts, it is called Active Body Control. If you wish to see the way it works, look up MB ABC test. We perform this test after maintenance of the system as a part of the bleed procedure. Todays vehicles are a lot heavier than older vehicles. They past crash tests that older vehicles will not pass. They also have much more electronics. Those electronics need wire. Copper is a heavy material. The vehicles in the test were also mainly SUVs or in-between SUV and Car.
cars like the m4 have setups to perform well on regular racetracks but with the comfort and safety in mind compared to racecars that are extremely tiring and twitchy to drive. For the moose test you need an autocross setup which is a different tuning: suspension dampers spring rates front and rear plus swaybars stiffness that differ from front rear depending on weight distribution.Also for sportier cars the stability control may be set up so that it lets you do most of the work and feel what the car is doing.But you can have find cars with both good results on moose and on track reviews as well although some might be more dangerous and harder to control at the limit despite being good at the moose test.
Bigger wheels ARE the problem in the Toyota Hilux, because they use low profile tires with stiffer sidewalls. The silver Hilux had smaller wheels and thicker sidewalls with more flex (or roll) that allowed the tires to slide; keeping the bottom of the truck from slowing faster than the upper part, i.e., they act less like the fixed point of a lever. Ditto, the Grand Cherokee, but it's the time of form over function.
In the blurb about the 1997 Mercedes Benz A-Class failure of the Moose Test, note that Mercedes Benz added electronic stablilzation to that model car. Well, I have an 'old' 2004 Volvo XC70 and it has Stabilizer Bars. I can often feel the benefit of those bars. I don't know if electronic stabilization is included, yet the other features of this model and year make it safer than the 2 Fords and 2 Toyotas in my family!!! Volvo For Life!!
The moose test has lost its meaning. Reason: The press is bored because this test does not represent a dangerous situation in reality. The cones were put up according to the feeling of Nordic scandal press people in order to experience a spectacle. After the Mercedes shipwreck, rows of cars from all over the world were placed on the roof using this procedure for test purposes in Germany. There were no moose in Sweden before this test. Today this is regulated with electronics. The original A Class had a more modern and comfortable chassis than later after the moose test configuration.
@@CaptainDangeax I've never driven a Mercedes. However, I know a test engineer. They wanted to know from the Swedes on what basis the new test for cars was created. Invitation, reimbursement of costs, research center ready to go - no response from Sweden. The Swedish tester types much preferred to earn their money on European talk shows.
CLA is an A class as well. Not rear wheel drive so it's also just a budget car underneath with a premium badge to trick people. To be fair all Mercedes are crap these days
My car passes at 81km/h on the moose test, performed by km77. That's the main reason I bought this model instead of some overpriced dieselgate german piece of crap

6:40 Maki-E, Maki Maki... Too Japanish-sounding name for an "American" car. And one that manages to flip over despite have a ton of heavy metal lithium supposedly at the bottom center of gravity.
The problem is mostly the weight... all those moderne car are too heavy (electric or hybrid)... But stupide people tink that when you are hight on road in a SUV, you are safe.

I am pretty sure the bmw m4 competition with its monkey ass imprint fascia would scare the moose away, so no problem there.
I came here to say that
Ten times better is a car of 90', as Citroen Xantia with active suspensions, that passed the test at 105 km/h. Incredibile.
not at 105km/h but still amazing for any car, especially from the 90s.
The record is 52.8 mph or 84 kmh
There test was easier then and it wasn’t 105!
105 km/h? That's a record by at least 20 km/h. 85 km/h officially which is still unbeliavable, beating model 3 and mclaren 675 by 2kph.
