The Audi A3 Sportback fared worse than expected on the moose test, exhibiting a lot of understeer, even at lower-than-usual speeds.<\/p>\n
The Moose test, or evasive maneuver test, was first introduced in Sweden in the early 1970s. It was designed to evaluate how well a vehicle can avoid a sudden obstacle, specifically, a moose, which is pretty common in the country.<\/p>\n
The moose test doesn\u2019t have a very good reputation among carmakers since it\u2019s not easy to pass. That\u2019s especially true for crossovers and SUVs, which struggle due to the higher center of gravity.<\/p>\n
Thus, you might think that a compact car would pass this test quite easily. However, it appears that\u2019s not always the case.<\/p>\n
For example, the all-new Audi A3<\/a> Sportback fell victim to KM77 in their latest video, a Swedish team that ashamed many great cars already. Surprisingly, the hatchback wasn\u2019t able to make it through the test with flying colors.<\/p>\n
