Whenever a new car comes out, be it electric or running on fossil fuels, Spanish magazine km77<\/em> is eager to put it through its paces in the dreaded moose test. If you haven’t heard of this evaluation, it’s essentially an evasive maneuver test to find out how well the vehicle can evade an obstacle that suddenly appears in front of the driver. The test has been around since the 1970s and became famous in the late 1990s when the original Mercedes A-Class was flipped over by Swedish car magazine Teknikens V\u00e4rld<\/em> together with the TV show Trafikmagasinet<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The folks over at km77<\/em> have managed to get a hold of the brand-new Kia EV6<\/a>, specifically a rear-wheel-drive version in the GT-Line specification. The electric crossover came equipped with 20-inch wheels wrapped in Continental ContiPremiumContact tires measuring 225\/45, which helped the EV ace the moose test many automakers are afraid of.<\/p>\n

With the regenerative braking completely off, the Kia EV6 entered swerved through the cones impressively and took down only three of them. Mind you, the zero-emissions crossover entered the area at 80 km\/h (50 mph), which is slightly higher than the usual entrance speed. The South Korean model responded accurately to the driver’s inputs and he says he felt safe throughout the procedure.<\/p>\n
