The heavy all-wheel drive car with an actual weight of 2,270 kg with really strong back throws appeared at low speeds. In other words, classic and alarmingly slippery.
It soon became apparent to us that the ABS wasn’t working at all enough to give the heavy vehicle a safe panic-maneuvering behaviour. The brief comment on the result of the Moose test result at Teknikens Värld 22/2021 was very clear: “This is far from the approved behavior of a modern car in 2021 and I need more than a look at Hyundai Ioniq 5 And Tesla Model Y Let’s see how far behind Ford. “

Changes will also be provided for these cars. First by letting car owners go to their dealer, then an OTA update will be available in a few months, says Jay Ward.

The update is very welcome, but we don’t run the risk until we test the updated version. Exactly when that can happen, we’ll be back to.
