Saab 900 “Moose Test” Footage – 1997

Posted on 22. Dec, 2006 by in 1990-1999, 900 NG, Sweden

It was mentioned earlier that in the recent IIHS crash test of the 1995 Saab 900, it underperformed the present Saab 9-3 Sport Sedan in the high speed crast test. In response to the recent comment made on this post, I thought it was appropriate to show how strong the Saab 900 new generation model (1994-1998) was when it came to roll-overs and run-ins with animals, specifically the “Moose”.

One can deduce from watching both of these videos, the Saab 900 model that ran from 1994 until 1998 was safer in front-end crashes that encountered animals, but not as safe when it came to high speed offset crashes with vehicles or non-movable objects . Take a look at this ABC news clip below and see for yourself.

    This is something I myself was wondering: does SAAB still do the “Moose Test” and design around the possibility of a moose strike post-GM-acquisition? How about the reinforced roof and pillars to increase safety during a rollover, do they still do that?
