For all the hype surrounding the Toyota GR Yaris the hatchback and its all-wheel drive with rally inspiration motor, the only thing that matters is the effectiveness of all this luxury technology in the limits of high speed grip. Like maybe when a giant elk crosses the road in front of you.
Hitting a moose in such a small car would be bad news for moose and the driver, so how far is the new GR Yaris agile when it matters? In a moose test, or dodge test, created by KM77.com and published the YouTube, the GR Yaris showed a narrow and flat handling, but eventually “did not complete it satisfactorily” on the first lap where the driver was not yet familiar with the car.
The car hit several cones on its first test, turning right on the first turn of the maneuver. Subsequent tests managed to successfully pull off the dodge maneuver without hitting any cones. The video states that the test proved it A softer driver entry limited the breakage of the car, as in previous tests with harsher reactions from the driver. This “fit” is attributed to the car’s short, fast running and limited tire slip of an impressive amount of grip, which helps the Yaris change direction quickly.
The success of the test was carried out at just under 50 mph, which is comparable to other lower performance vehicles with fewer suspension traps that would be supposed to help the GR Yaris overcome in a moose test. The testers noted, however, the sedan’s ability to carry speed through the tests, and that it did an apparent lack of intrusive electronic stability control input. Apparently this car has all the suspension and tires where it counts, so it’s okay. In comparison, the video makes slalom testing seem like a delight.
He 2020 GR Yaris it is powered by a three-cylinder engine that pours 269 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque through all-wheel drive with rear-wheel drive. system. It has a six-speed manual transmission, weighs just 2,822 pounds and sounds too good to be true because, of course, instead, Americans supposedly receive some other hatchback from Toyota in the future. Maybe Toyota will improve the test results of yesteryear. Do it for the moose.
