AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)09/30 Report--

Teknikens Varld, a Swedish magazine, recently tested the 2019 Toyota RAV4, a brand new Toyota RAV4 that performed poorly in the elk test and won the Top Safety Pick + award in the US IIHS test, but failed in the elk test.

The test is simple-the car first drives in a straight line, and then it must turn left and then right. Its purpose is to simulate the action of elk dodging on the road and to test the handling, suspension and, most importantly, electronic stability control of the car. In Teknikens Varld tests, Toyota's RAV4 reached a top speed of 42 miles per hour (68 kilometers per hour).

"when we turned left into the driveway, the front of the Toyota RAV4 reacted quickly," the tester said. When we turn right, the two wheels on the right are off the ground. Even produce extreme reactions, including severe skidding tendency, lateral rebound, difficult to control. "

Toyota denied the failure of the RAV4 elk test, saying it specifically tested the vehicle in the Elk test and passed the test. In a statement on the matter, Toyota said: "at Toyota, the safety of our customers is our top priority. In order to ensure their safety, we have to conduct strict safety tests when developing all our products." Our internal tests are fully in line with global standards for obstacle avoidance, and since 2016, we have updated the process, including the procedures used by Teknikens Varld. During the development phase, RAV4 successfully passed all internal tests, including ISO 3888-2 and Teknikens Varld Elk tests.

"Milu Deer Test" is an important international standard to measure vehicle safety. The name of the test comes from Milu deer, an animal found in Scandinavia in northern Europe and much of North America. They often jump out unexpectedly in front of vehicles and collide with high-speed vehicles, resulting in serious traffic accidents. What is to be tested in the "Milu Deer Test" is the vehicle's ability to avoid obstacles.

Milu deer test is also an international commonly used project to test the risk aversion ability of vehicles, which was first produced by Sweden. The method is to enter the test area at a constant speed under the full load of the vehicle (four passengers and the corresponding counterweight of the suitcase) and dodge at high speed without stepping on the brakes and throttle. The two testers in the front two seats repeatedly increase the speed one by one, record the speed at that time when it is out of control, and verify it twice at the same time to determine the reliability of the runaway speed. I would also like to add that the speed per hour tested is mainly based on the speedometer of the vehicle itself.

The new generation of RAV4 is based on Toyota's new TNGA architecture platform, and the domestic FAW Toyota plans to be officially listed in the fourth quarter of this year. In terms of power, the new domestic RAV4 low-configuration model is equipped with the M20D 2.0L naturally aspirated engine produced by FAW Toyota, with a maximum horsepower of 171 horsepower, which is 20 horsepower higher than the current power. The hybrid model matches the hybrid system composed of 2.5L motor, with a maximum horsepower of 178 horsepower for the engine and 120 horsepower for the motor. In addition, both power models will be available in two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive versions.

Span.s1 {font-kerning: none} although this is a powerful SUV, it is very poor in handling when avoiding objects. What do you think of Toyota RAV4's Milu deer test?
