Did you know a cow will take off if facing forward at about ~1000km/h? Cows apparently have a slight aerodynamic lift in the forward position. I just read some students research paper about it. Lol
We swear, we took weight out and put it under specs this time, along with putting it up to the right tire pressure... Unlike the first test where we got caught overloaded the jeep by 300 lbs and having the tired under by 5 psi......

I drive It for two years .. it s fantastic , electronic is superb , never drive a suv like this ... The electronics make is so quick and stable .. you don't fell the wheight
really a helmet is more dangerous in the event of a crash. the added weight on your neck could lead to fatal injuries. also the airbag systems arent built do deal with helmets. anyway.... wearing a helmet without a bucket seat is more dangerous than wearing no helmet.
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.
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.

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.
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).
My grand handled great when I had to swerve to keep from hitting a pickup truck with a trailer on the interstate coming home from work. I was doing 70 mph, and he was doing 40mph with no tail lights at night. The speed limit was 70
Cristian Lara yes it is. have you ever read the instruction manual of a crash helmet? in the event of an accident the extra weight of the crash helmet would instantly break your spinal cord.
*Big props to you guys. Show some balls. I thought you were annoying me with the same shot of a popping tire over and over but these were all different ones. I am gob smacked.*
***** consumers don't make that distinction, even if it was true. It's like saying it's fine if your sports car overheats in the city; it's not designed for that environment. That kind of thinking was around 30 years ago but we've moved on...
***** No, they should have got it right first time, as they did a few years later... ua-cam.com/video/8Fs5M8GuvcUA/v-deo.htmldequate body control and braking control.
Not Zachary, the swedes need to not deflate the tires and add extra weight to the jeep. They shouldnt mess with the factory settings on any vehicle just to make the company look bad.
i agree with the american part of the group (chrysler) but you can't say the same For Alfa Giulia or Alfa Stelvio for example on the italian part, that are today in some points better than German cars.
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
They do the moose test with every car they test. The only cars wich have had this dangerous behaviour is this and the first generation mercedes a class
The Range Rover can probably do much worse without such issues, they have great engineering behind them. Sure they aren’t as reliable but they do the job well. It’s like the bentayga and most German SUV’s they drive very well, more likes cars so there is very little compromise
I owned a Jeep Grand Cherokee once. After 3 years, I was done with the POS. Plastic all over, poor handling and loud. But it never once got stuck in deep snow.
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
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.
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.
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.
Bret Morgan Talk about deliberately obtuse, Jeep is an American car company, regardless of what corporation happens to own them. Or are you saying Lamborghini is German?
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.
+mason methot Lol, I think it's just moose. I live in California, owns a Jeep grand cherokee and can report that by some miracle I have not encountered a moose on the freeway so far.
Brian Torres They are trained professionals, the test it done the same for all cars and it’s repeated for reliability. The Jeep would’ve failed if even you or Schumacher were in it.
its not german. whole suspension and deivetrain changed. mercedes granny: solid rear axle, 5speed auto, no airsuspension, front and rear axle lsd, mercedes engine. fiat: no solid axle, no lsds, airsuspension, 8speed auto, vm motori engine
FINALLY I real life test! and no a straight line 0-60 bullshit or going around a track and having paid journalist to say over and over how great a car is! Thank you
My father in law did an extremely quick lane change driving on the interstate when a car was stopped on the road. He was going well over 65 miles per hour, and there were no issues at all.
In America, we don’t make cars to try to swerve around the moose. We put stickers in the sun visor to tell you not to make abrupt maneuvers or you’ll rollover the SUV. Liability first. Then safety.
Jeep's suspension seems too soft and it starts wobbling during sharp turns. The tilt is too much and it cases the car to almost flip over and/or jump after the exit. The suspension needs to be a bit stiffer and i think the wheels need to have a small angle under which the touch the ground.
Yeah. its like they choose the suspension for its off road capabilities rather than what most Cherokee's are used for. On road driving. Its got way more give then is needed to the point that its dangerous. Im not to sure of its anti roll safety equipment but it seems to be rather lacking, it looks more setup to 'flex' and 'crawl' offroad like its brothers the wrangler etc.
MrSterling314 Actually the suspension is adjustable, just turn the dial and lower it and problem is solved. It is not the trucks fault if you don't use the suspension setting properly. It was lowered for the 2014 test and no problems.
MrSterling314 Eactly - don't compare an off road capable vehicle like the Grand Cherokee to a Volvo wagon that can't go anywhere off road and then say Jeep is bad. Try this test with a loaded Landrover Discover, or a Mercedes G500 and see if THEY roll over as much as the jeep. ua-cam.com/video/ltH7vhFbZwA/v-deo.html
I tried this with my 15 jeep GC limited 3.6 with fortera tires at 36psi. 1 passenger. My results were definitely better. 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.
@@rforracing damn bro, but isn’t it weird you checking a 1 year old comment? Looks like you put a lot more love and trust onto youtube comments than I do 😒
Well I gotta say my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee handled a very similar situation much better. 60 mph freeway car next to me ran us off the road,causing me to react very much like your test. However Jeep handled it very well even after sliding from Roadway into center median strip and then back on to freeway. Scared me sure,my grandkids were in the back, but never lost control. 👍
@Kirk Phillips Despite what was shown, the test wasn’t fair for the Jeep compared to the other vehicles used in the test. Based upon physics, the Jeep performed in a reasonable manner.👊🏽☝🏽🔥
The test performed on the Jeep wasn’t fair. Especially against the other vehicles used in the comparison. Given the physics of the Jeep, it handled itself well enough.☝🏽🔥

I wouldn't buy anything from the fiat-Chrysler line. I worked on a 2016-17 jeep Cherokee and with less that 8 months of owner the car, the owner was experiencing bad steering behavior. Took a few parts off and i could see that the bushings in that car is shattered. 4 bushings had to be replaced, and going through a Chrysler dealer to buy the parts, i get these hard plastic bushings from china. yes it was certified dodge parts. so disgusted with how horrible the quality was. Honorable mentions are the Chrysler 200 and the dodge dart. deeply sad this company has poorer quality than even a hayundai or kia.
My boss from old internship bought his wife a chrysler 200. He said the ECU literally CAUGHT FIRE around the 10 month mark. I agree Chrysler-Fiat-Jeep is garbage. Dodge makes decent trucks but most of their cars are rather shit as well for reliability
Tack för denna film.jag personligen är...eller var väldigt sugen på att köpa en Cherokee som familjebil,men efter jag såg denna filmen så blir det ett tyskt märke istället,tack så mycket för ett strålande jobb ni på Teknikens värld!
I have now read a few comments about this test not being fair to Jeep, as the Touareg and Volvo appear to be driven less aggressively. The goal of this test is to make it through the course at a certain speed, and very obviously the Jeep can't do it. The other cars appear to be driven less aggressively because they handle the quick turns better. Cars that handle this test poorly look more aggressively driven. The same is somewhat true for autocross and track stuff as well.
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.
And @ 100km/62mph it might roll over. Plus the majority of people who buy these in America, 1. Don't off road it 2. Don't have the driver skill to handle it.
They buy big cars to have more chance to survive an accident...…….. But the big car and their lack of skills and knowledge make em at high risk of accident !!! But at the end of the day they might survive the accident , but they kill the occupants of the smaller car they've hit !
@@egSmith-sp9gl Most wrecks arent super high speeds. So carrying around all that weight to be "safer" in a wreck that probably won't happen is a waste of money. Its better to drive a sedan where the crash is good enough and the car has enough agility to menuever. plus sedans look alot better.
It sucks when car manufacturers makes cars that aggrevate slip ups and bad driving. Sure no car can be safe from bad judgement from the driver. This is just like that infamous Mercedes A. It needed all the fancy anti skid/rollover ++ sytemst just to keep a bad design on the road, not to make a sound design better.
Volvo all the way, Did you see how well it handled that test! I've got the V70 3.2L Cross Country. American cars are awful. Rented a few in the states (suv) and the wobble like crazy.
William Brewer I’ve driven all types of cars. Gm, Chrysler, ford, Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Audi, bmw,(never driven a Mercedes actually) and toyota, Honda, Audi, and bmw are the superior group by far. The interiors on euro and Japanese cars are way better (Honda could do a little better) than anything American that I’ve driven. The handling is a lot better (American cars have zero steering response and I feel like I could drive them with my pinky finger) and they all shake like crazy. Not everything in Europe is superior to America, but when dealing with cars it’s clear who the winner is.
I have the 2012 Grand Cherokee 5.7 4x4 and it takes corners nicely. I've put a few thousand miles on it empty and towing and it feels pretty safe to me. Engine is massive amounts of power and trans works just fine with 8000 pounds towed behind.
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.
You’re telling me that was multiple jeeps getting their tires blown? I thought I was watching the same one over and over lol
Lol same
WAIT WHAT !?
Same car, many many tires. You can tell they're different after the end of the test, they all drive off in "slightly' different directions.

Cristian Lara yes it is. have you ever read the instruction manual of a crash helmet? in the event of an accident the extra weight of the crash helmet would instantly break your spinal cord.
Just to save his head from smacking around in the car.
Cristian helmets ain’t light, if you crash you’d get some mad whiplash
*Big props to you guys. Show some balls. I thought you were annoying me with the same shot of a popping tire over and over but these were all different ones. I am gob smacked.*
The Touareg..Excellent stability👏🏼👏🏼
the excuses in the comments on this video are pathetic. A documented, correctly set-up test and people still whinge.
Test was not done correctly that's why the complaints. 2014 test was perfect and this 2012 test would have been too if the test was done correct.

consumers don't make that distinction, even if it was true. It's like saying it's fine if your sports car overheats in the city; it's not designed for that environment. That kind of thinking was around 30 years ago but we've moved on...

Not Zachary, the swedes need to not deflate the tires and add extra weight to the jeep. They shouldnt mess with the factory settings on any vehicle just to make the company look bad.

lmaooo he is wearing a bicycle helmet😂
Hahaha safety!
I don’t blame him
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.
This is an on-road test of surviving incidents on the way to your off-road fun.
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
Is there a test to see how a Land Rover performs this test?
+Gaming with Mikey! I'm sure it fails loudly too, but with a synthetic "I'm sorry"/"Beg your pardon" voice coming out from the dashboard.
They do the moose test with every car they test. The only cars wich have had this dangerous behaviour is this and the first generation mercedes a class
The Range Rover can probably do much worse without such issues, they have great engineering behind them. Sure they aren’t as reliable but they do the job well. It’s like the bentayga and most German SUV’s they drive very well, more likes cars so there is very little compromise
I owned a Jeep Grand Cherokee once. After 3 years, I was done with the POS. Plastic all over, poor handling and loud. But it never once got stuck in deep snow.
That's the thing they're great in snow, their electronics and transmission issues are the major negative with them.
What do you drive now I wonder? 🤔

They did, and proved the video is completely false.

Fuck jeep
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
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.
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.
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.
That doesn't apply to moose. If you hit a moose straight on, you're most likely going to get crushed to death.
...and keep your speed appropriate for road/moose conditions. Jeeps rule in my book.
Wish my Aunt saw this years ago. Her Jeep roll in Emergency on Freeway, she was ok but WOW...
that looked alot more fun than the VW and volvo tho.
Best comment by far! xD
amazing hahahah!!!
Real american quality
Jeep is owned by Fiat which is an Italian company.
Bret Morgan Fiat bought Jeep in 2014. This video is from 2012.
TheTJRod owned!!
TheTJRod I think Bret is feeling a little less patriotic right about now.
Bret Morgan Talk about deliberately obtuse, Jeep is an American car company, regardless of what corporation happens to own them. Or are you saying Lamborghini is German?
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.
+mason methot Lol, I think it's just moose. I live in California, owns a Jeep grand cherokee and can report that by some miracle I have not encountered a moose on the freeway so far.

@Xiones11 Exactly !!🔥☝🏽
This looks more like the testers trying to sell VW's. Why don't they try the same test with a Range Rover. What a joke this test was.
Makes me think of the Ford Explorers from the 1990’s that loved to roll over.
Yeah all caused from moron drivers thinking they were driving sports cars when their Firestone tires blew up LOL.
Вывод: Не покупай Grand Cherokee если ты обладаешь навыками экстренного вождения и имеешь реакцию пантеры!
No seat belt while testing rolling over of the car. Ballzy!
Um you can see the seat belt in the outside camera view and in the rear view mirror...
uabir they're amateurs lmao I don't take this test seriously at all hahaha
Brian Torres They are trained professionals, the test it done the same for all cars and it’s repeated for reliability. The Jeep would’ve failed if even you or Schumacher were in it.

Blown tire is still better than flipping!
Monkeyclub
Oh my bad man we don't have moose here.. I'd still take a blown tire over flipping any day. Watch out for those moose!
don't have a moose? you may have other dangers and i wish that nothing happens to put you in that situation.
This car is not supposed to be driven on road, but off road, when such things don't happen
In America, we don’t make cars to try to swerve around the moose. We put stickers in the sun visor to tell you not to make abrupt maneuvers or you’ll rollover the SUV. Liability first. Then safety.
Jeep's suspension seems too soft and it starts wobbling during sharp turns. The tilt is too much and it cases the car to almost flip over and/or jump after the exit. The suspension needs to be a bit stiffer and i think the wheels need to have a small angle under which the touch the ground.
Yeah. its like they choose the suspension for its off road capabilities rather than what most Cherokee's are used for. On road driving. Its got way more give then is needed to the point that its dangerous. Im not to sure of its anti roll safety equipment but it seems to be rather lacking, it looks more setup to 'flex' and 'crawl' offroad like its brothers the wrangler etc.
MrSterling314 Actually the suspension is adjustable, just turn the dial and lower it and problem is solved. It is not the trucks fault if you don't use the suspension setting properly. It was lowered for the 2014 test and no problems.
MrSterling314 Eactly - don't compare an off road capable vehicle like the Grand Cherokee to a Volvo wagon that can't go anywhere off road and then say Jeep is bad. Try this test with a loaded Landrover Discover, or a Mercedes G500 and see if THEY roll over as much as the jeep. ua-cam.com/video/ltH7vhFbZwA/v-deo.html
I tried this with my 15 jeep GC limited 3.6 with fortera tires at 36psi. 1 passenger. My results were definitely better. 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

Well I gotta say my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee handled a very similar situation much better. 60 mph freeway car next to me ran us off the road,causing me to react very much like your test. However Jeep handled it very well even after sliding from Roadway into center median strip and then back on to freeway. Scared me sure,my grandkids were in the back, but never lost control. 👍
@Kirk Phillips Despite what was shown, the test wasn’t fair for the Jeep compared to the other vehicles used in the test. Based upon physics, the Jeep performed in a reasonable manner.👊🏽☝🏽🔥
There`s another video saying that 2014 models were tested and they passed the test.
@@jaimemurray6654by ' based upon physics' you mean considering it's laughably unstable center of gravity?
The 2014 model was fixed due to this problem being exposed. Ridiculous for a modern vehicle to be put into production as unstable as the 2012 model.
Did you make a sharp turn like in this video?
I love this guys accent. "Last time we tested the yeet grand cherokee" haha. people getting yeeted in those jeeps by the moose.
I think that everyone is missing the fun side of this, it's like driving a roller-coaster to work.
people forget the jeep is not designed to be used to go to work at all....
this test is like testing a plane for its ability to float in the ocean.
The 737 max on wheels. Redesign it completely.
It was. In the 8 years since this video has been released.
Why was the Jeep going faster than the others...??? Y??
Looked like a lot more steering input with the Jeep. Like they jerked the steering wheel much harder
It's faked, jeep didnt send a large enough check.

I wouldn't buy anything from the fiat-Chrysler line. I worked on a 2016-17 jeep Cherokee and with less that 8 months of owner the car, the owner was experiencing bad steering behavior. Took a few parts off and i could see that the bushings in that car is shattered. 4 bushings had to be replaced, and going through a Chrysler dealer to buy the parts, i get these hard plastic bushings from china. yes it was certified dodge parts. so disgusted with how horrible the quality was. Honorable mentions are the Chrysler 200 and the dodge dart. deeply sad this company has poorer quality than even a hayundai or kia.
ThirtyOne Fifty *hyundai not hayundai even though thats how everyone prounounces but its actually hiyundai
ThirtyOne Fifty @ from 2005 they changed to much, before that it’s pretty much ok and solid.
My boss from old internship bought his wife a chrysler 200. He said the ECU literally CAUGHT FIRE around the 10 month mark. I agree Chrysler-Fiat-Jeep is garbage. Dodge makes decent trucks but most of their cars are rather shit as well for reliability
My mom had a Jeep Cherokee for 6 months and traded it in on a Toyota 4Runner way way better
but muh hellcat...
seems to me that the jeep was entering the turn faster than the volvo and the touareg

I have now read a few comments about this test not being fair to Jeep, as
the Touareg and Volvo appear to be driven less aggressively. The goal
of this test is to make it through the course at a certain speed, and
very obviously the Jeep can't do it. The other cars appear to be driven less aggressively because they handle the quick turns better. Cars that handle this test poorly look more aggressively driven. The same is somewhat true for autocross and track stuff as well.
No the car is just bad
How many times u said “aggressively”
The sweeds figured out what most people know already. FCA vehicles suck.
lol, wearing a bicycle helmet in a car that very nearly rolls over ! This should be a meme.
UA-cam: moose test?

"the yeep" hahahahaha
Z-Army lol I was just about to comment on that too funny

pahero lol
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.
And @ 100km/62mph it might roll over.
Plus the majority of people who buy these in America,
1. Don't off road it
2. Don't have the driver skill to handle it.
They buy big cars to have more chance to survive an accident...…….. But the big car and their lack of skills and knowledge make em at high risk of accident !!!
But at the end of the day they might survive the accident , but they kill the occupants of the smaller car they've hit !
@@egSmith-sp9gl Most wrecks arent super high speeds. So carrying around all that weight to be "safer" in a wreck that probably won't happen is a waste of money. Its better to drive a sedan where the crash is good enough and the car has enough agility to menuever. plus sedans look alot better.
It sucks when car manufacturers makes cars that aggrevate slip ups and bad driving. Sure no car can be safe from bad judgement from the driver. This is just like that infamous Mercedes A. It needed all the fancy anti skid/rollover ++ sytemst just to keep a bad design on the road, not to make a sound design better.
Volvo all the way, Did you see how well it handled that test! I've got the V70 3.2L Cross Country.
American cars are awful. Rented a few in the states (suv) and the wobble like crazy.
Google User Toyota Camrys wobble like crazy
V70 nice! What year?
You do realize SUVs are probably the worst representation of american cars
William Brewer I’ve driven all types of cars. Gm, Chrysler, ford, Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Audi, bmw,(never driven a Mercedes actually) and toyota, Honda, Audi, and bmw are the superior group by far. The interiors on euro and Japanese cars are way better (Honda could do a little better) than anything American that I’ve driven. The handling is a lot better (American cars have zero steering response and I feel like I could drive them with my pinky finger) and they all shake like crazy. Not everything in Europe is superior to America, but when dealing with cars it’s clear who the winner is.
I have the 2012 Grand Cherokee 5.7 4x4 and it takes corners nicely. I've put a few thousand miles on it empty and towing and it feels pretty safe to me. Engine is massive amounts of power and trans works just fine with 8000 pounds towed behind.
Yeep? More like Yeet!
How much do they pay u 2 drive the Jeep faster ?
Give that Jeep to me "I'll show you how to drive it without Blown tyres. "
Don't drive it at all?
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.
