The moose test was too much for the Jeep Grand Cherokee back in 2012, when the US-built SUV almost rolled over during the Swedish trial.
The folks over at Allpar said the test was staged, claiming the car was overloaded, but that doesn’t matter now, as the 2014 Grand Cherokee has been improved in that aspect, according to Teknikens Varld’s brand new moose test.
The Swedish magazine tested a 3.0 CRD version of the Grand Cherokee fitted with summer tires and loaded with passengers and luggage, concluding that “Jeep understood the seriousness of the previous generation’s severe flaws and did something to it”.
The car reaches its limit at 71 km/h (44 mph) and “cannot master more than that”, the Swedes added, noting that “it is a good result for the SUV”.
During the moose test, vehicles are subjected to an evasive maneuver that simulates a moose that suddenly shows up on the road, in front of the car.
