Älgtest - Elk test- Moose test
The Swedish auto magazine Teknikens Värld (Google: teknikensvärld.se) has performed its - world famous- älgtest with X4, Macan and Evoque.
Both X4 and Evoque performed with no problems, while Macan had an unexpected behaviour - it locked left front wheel when trying to counter steer to the right in the elk avoidance test. According to the journalists it was scary. There is a film and also English text.
Porsche explains the action with the purpose to avoid a rollover situation.
I.e. there was a risk for a rollover in an accident avoidance manouver - unless Porsce did program a lock up on one of the front wheels.
