Anti-ad of the day: Jeep Grand Cherokee moose test

Swedish auto magazine Teknikens Värld performs the evasive manoeuvre test, a test made to determine how well a certain vehicle evades a suddenly appearing obstacle, with a couple of SUV models, and concludes that if you want to buy yourself one, it shouldn't be a Jeep Grand Cherokee.

The car was tested in the same way as thousands of other cars have been tested by Teknikens Värld over the years. Loaded (driver, passenger and anchored sandbags with a low center of gravity in the boot) in accordance to Jeep's specifications for maximum payload, the factory installed original tires filled with the amount of air pressure as specified by Jeep (also confirmed by Jeep/Chrysler) and all safety systems such as electronic stability control and anti-rollover system turned on. Jeep Grand Cherokee has air suspension and we put this in Auto mode, a setting that most Grand Cherokee owners use when they drive their car.

Everything was therefore completely by the book, just like an ordinary car owner would do, although the performance was very poor. Over and over again with three different Jeep Grand Cherokee - which you can see in the new film here.
