The moose test is unquestionably the most difficult evasive maneuver test a car can go through and has been performed since the 1970s. Essentially, a vehicle enters a designated area where the traffic cones are laid out in an S shape to mimic obstacles that would appear on the road all of a sudden. It was the Mercedes EQS\u2019 turn to undergo the difficult test, and while it didn\u2019t disappoint, it didn\u2019t impress either.<\/p>\n
For a vehicle that has rear-wheel steering with a 10-degree angle, some of us would have expected the flagship electric sedan to ace the moose test. However, the vehicle\u2019s massive weight reared its ugly head as the EQS<\/a> was not as nimble as some would\u2019ve expected. The 580 4Matic version tested here tips the scales at a whopping 2,585 kilograms (5,700 pounds), and that\u2019s without including the driver and any possible options.<\/p>\n It\u2019s worth noting the fullsize luxury sedan tested by Spanis\u2019 km77.com<\/em> came equipped with 21-inch wheels wrapped around in Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 5 tires. With the car in Comfort mode, the journalists managed a successful run at an entrance speed of 72 km\/h (45 mph), which they say was rather poor. They went on to mention the EQS had moderate body roll during the slalom and was registered with a considerably high exit speed of 52 km\/h (32 mph).<\/p>\n
