    @Xmvw2X 7 років тому +119

    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 UA-cam 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.

      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.

    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
