I see the cars driven the same way. The in car of the Jeep did not look overly aggressive. It is suppose to mimic avoiding a moose. Only difference is that the other cars suspension, electronic and tire package do a MUCH better job of responding to the inputs to make a safe lane change instead of bouncing and lifting the wheels.

[@johndododoe1411]

It's not really a moose and not a lane change. It simulates a suddenly appearing obstacle on a 2 lane country road. Driver swerves through opposite lane to avoid collision and must not collide with anything off road (the outer cones).

Jeep has a habit of underrating the springs for vehicle mass to create a vehicle that has a softer ride during initial test drives. If the springs are corrected for vehicle mass (as they should have been from the factory) the vehicle will have a substantially better performance in the test. If you want to prove the point to them, get corrected spring ratio springs from old man emu / arb.

[@Xmvw2X]

As an engineer watching this, I hope Jeep has taken the issue seriously. I don't know if it would be worth testing a newer model. The roll issue didn't surprise me so much. I've driven them, and they are a very soft, pillowy riding vehicle. This is an excellent recipe for body roll and especially body inertia. What was more interesting to me was the tire. This is a more dangerous issue than the roll in my eyes because it directly affects stability of the car. It shouldn't happen under normally achievable driving inputs on a very stable surface. To think I can turn the wheel hard and pop a tire is scary. It should not be possible. To Jeep's defense, development will only contain what they have traditionally used for testing and what the government requires for testing. Older Jeeps weren't stable either, but no one complained. It was just expected back at that time. Manufacturers got better. Jeep did too, just not far enough. As they further develop their testing programs and fundamental design goals, they do need to incorporate new testing methods. There is a good side to this. Jeep is now incorporating Fiat's testing procedures into their Jeep development. The first to see this was the new Cherokee. This testing does include lateral load testing which was something Jeep hadn't previously tested. This was something Jeep presented in another video you can find here on KZbin regarding the Cherokee testing. I'm hoping this is part of the next generate grand cherokee too and helps develop a much better vehicle. At the moment, it might be beneficial to test the new Cherokee and see if that car handles the moose test well. The new Renegade would also be a good test. Both will show a modern representation of Jeep. I say modern because the Grand Cherokee has been on the same generation since 2011.

[@jefferymccormick3380]

Tire went because it hit the cone under full pressure of the corner

[@browpetj]

In an average crash trucks will give better protection than any car. Don't know why the vid advises ppl not to use Jeeps. They are far better at protecting ppl than any tin car sports that passes this test. Good test though, it is not representative though. That's why it is not in NCAP. It like playing a piano with a hammer, just good fun! Ha ha ha

Well, their merge with fiat and Italian taste with European market is the best thing that could happen to them IMO. Fiat introduced the criteria that the previous platforms were lacking, safety, slick driving experience and more sophisticated exteriors, but kept what American cars are known for: unbeatable comfort and “cushy” rides. I must give it to American cars, they’re comfy. It’s coming from the fact that roads and streets in North America are made completely different, with long straight highways and wide streets. It just works. And it’s coming from me, an European engineer who lives in Canada and drives a brand new ram 1500 Laramie. I’ve “dated” both continents and I know that America and Europa are two different girls.

No blown tires but i did experience wheel/tire lift during the apex of the right turn. not off the ground but slight loss of traction. Test was done in Auto terrain mode. 30 35 40mph. Not sure if jeep fixed the issue. But i was able to complete the moose test successfully.

The only comment that brought me some relief actually lol. I am considering buying a GC but this video is raising a few eyebrows

Did you test one without the air suspension?

[@stayloaded692]

Moose, deer, whatever it is, I've seen drivers loose control over a damn racoon trying to avoid it. Thing is, no matter what you drive, odds are your going to merge to your left and ram a car/truck/semi or merge to your right and end up in the ditch/median wall or dead. Your chances are better to grab the steering wheel tight and ram the son of bitch and it might save your life. Planning and split second reactions don't always go together. Let the vehicle insurance take care of it.. This video doesn't change my opinion in any way. Just interesting to watch

[@johnmadsen37]

I agree. Anyone trying a high speed 'maneuver' that is not a professional driver will most likely hurt themselves and everyone involved. Don't try this unless you already know you can (from practice). And on wet, snow, or ice, never try it. Hit the brakes, you will reduce speed more drastically instead of sliding off road or into something else or even over a freaking cliff on a mountain road. The one thing to take notice is of is HOW to get out of a possible roll-over situation. If the driver did not corrective steer, the truck would have flipped for sure. Many of them would have.

[@felipesegura6304]

You are right. Brake or ram directly can be a better choice than try to avoid. But the point of the test is to evaluate the vehicle behaviour in the case the driver has to avoid a collission. The scandinavian invented this and they chose the name "moose test" because if you just ram a big tall animal it´s legs get hit the bumper and then the heavy body crashes to the windshield potentially killing the driver/passenger.

[@johnmadsen37]

LOL. Yes, a moose test, describing the animal. Wonderful. 'But', there is something to consider here - for this test, all the vehicles are loaded to their maximum capacity. Anymore weight, and things could start breaking. When you see others doing this test, they do not do this. Lets see the test of a single driver (most common), and one fully loaded. I bet your most obvious and pointless statement they all pass the first test. Maybe you don't understand it yet - i am helping my sarcastic tone 'drives' it in - adding maximum weight to vehicles alters the dynamics of all systems - they are calibrated for the most common situations. An simple example is if vehicles where designed to be driven under full weight 100% of the time, the brakes would be double the size, larger tires, more heavy duty suspensions, and larger drive train components. We all know driving at maximum capacity make the vehicle stop longer. Fusterating having to explain this. Just think about it. Everything changes at maximum capacity.

[@PhilDeville]

That doesn't apply to moose. If you hit a moose straight on, you're most likely going to get crushed to death.

[@donboehner6005]

...and keep your speed appropriate for road/moose conditions. Jeeps rule in my book.

[@patrolpilot3756]

Old boxy Cherokee is where it's at. Handles horribly, bad crash test results, but inline six was bulletproof and it handled off-road like a boss.

[@johndododoe1411]

This is an on-road test of surviving incidents on the way to your off-road fun.

[@markobezjak4682]

It handles pretty good,lacks abs and esp systems tho,but if you are buying an xj you kinda dont care about those systems. And the inline six,well it the 4.0 can beat the plastic vw tdi and plastic volvo engines anyday in reliability

[@itandroid6304]

Looks like the tires are under inflated and the driver sharply turns the wheel. Replaying the flat tire seven times is not the same as having seven flat tires.

Old comment, but the "j" sound in English doesn't exist in Swedish. Also, "j" in written Swedish is pronounced like "y" in English. So it's very common for Swedes to pronounce "j" and "y" the same.

what about grand cherokee from 2000 to 2004 ? plz

[@hope6571]

Had a 2006 Grand Cherokee for several years. Never was a fan of the brand but this is the most durable car I ever owned. Stability was never a strong side of the Cherokees and that's a fact, but telling people "Buy VW or Volvo" because Jeep is unstable is the most bias thing I have ever heard. Any idea what the Touareg costs for maintenance? Any idea of how much trouble people around me had with their Volvos gearboxes? Any idea how much better the Jeep is in offroading? Just because cars are in the same class doesn't mean they have to perform the same way.

[@vikasjsheth]

Isn't the ground clearance of Jeep grand Cherokee more than the Volvo and Volkswagen? If the CG is higher, how would you expect it to perform like the toureg or the Volvo? Pitt it against a Toyota Prado or a Mitsubishi Pajero...then let's see.

[@rotorblade9508]

It seems to need a bit harder springs and dampers but people will probably prefer the soft ones anyway The tires have enough grip to cause it to roll too much with the soft suspension. Then it needs a bit wider tires or stronger wall so they don’t fail. With off road tires, stronger and less grip it will slide a bit and might pass the test better

[@masonmethot3186]

Luckily for everyone else, mooses (what the hell is the plural for moose? Meese?) generally appear in Canada so you can relax on your drive to California.

[@carleynorthcoast1915]

I don't see what these test could prove, vehicles have different steering ratios and steering control systems. A benefit in one area will likely come with costs in another. you can see that the Volvo didn't react nearly as fast, that's not really a good thing.

[@kyleb6325]

If Jeep would slow down the rebound on the shock, it wouldn't bounce like that and it'd be more stable. The suspension is reacting to fast

[@formulavq6445]

My wife owns a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo v6 3.7 I also noticed how horribly it controls when making sudden drastic turns to the point of almost rolling over. Which led me to investigate to hopefully find some aftermarket suspension kits to help fix the problem. Would aftermarket SWAY bars fix this issue?

[@fadingbeleifs]

They already have sway bars. The Fiat built Jeep's use plastic sway bar links and plastic suspension bushings. They shatter as well. Don't buy a Jeep if you don't want to die. My sister just rolled her 2016 Grand Cherokee on i20 in Augusta Georgia last night. Rolled 3 times. She's still in the trauma ward in Augusta.

[@famousmidnight]

I'm willing to bet this could be solved with a set of wheel spacers. The track width on the Grand Cherokee is quite narrow for its overall width. I added 1.25 spacers to mine, adding 2.5'' to the overall track width. Seems to have helped the ride through turns as well, although I did the upgrade mostly for aesthetics. I'd love to see if it would make a difference

[@architecturehappy]

The current Jeep Grand Cherokee today is one of the biggest bandaid jobs, the platform was developed in 2009, not on sale until 2011, more than 10 years old and they just keep duct taping on new plastic trim that peels off later and calling it NEW.

[@MunchPremium]

Jeep suspensions is maybe more designes to go offroad and the other 2 just normal street suvs
