A TikTok video compared a 1996 Citroën Xantia to a 2021 BMW M4 Competition in terms of moose test. Xantia was able to pass through the object at 73 km/h without flipping a single traffic cone, whereas the M4 had to slow down to 29 km/h while it flipped 3 traffic cones during the moose test.

The Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute has developed a moose crash test dummy called "Mooses". The dummy (which is made with similar weight, centre of gravity and dimensions to a live moose) is used to simulate realistic moose collisions. Australian car manufacturers use crash test kangaroo dummies for similar reasons. [16]
A Xantia Activa was able to reach more than 1g lateral acceleration, and still holds the record speed (85 km/h (53 mph)) through the moose test maneuver, due to its active anti-roll bars. [24] This test is conducted by the magazine Teknikens Värld's, as a test of avoiding a moose in the road.
The Hydractive system was soon to become available to the public first in Citroën's XM model 1989, and Xantia model 1993. In 1995 Activa prototypes' active anti-roll-bar was introduced in the Xantia Activa , making it one of the few production cars to have active suspension.

Other competitors, the Renault Mégane, Peugeot 308, and Citroen C4 also have stayed with the twist beam. [5] The sportiest models of its brands, such as the Renault Mégane RS and the Peugeot 308 II GTi, have proven that twist-beam rear suspension can provide a high level of performance on a compact car, on the racetrack, but also during the ...
Citroën finally addressed this, and for Xantia (which shared the Hydractive system with XM) came up with a modified design of the suspension (centre sphere) regulator valves, which made them immune to hydraulic impulses produced by the road surface, and which could push the older-type valves into Firm mode, just when this wasn't needed.
The Porsche 997 GT3 RS and Porsche 997 Carrera 4S are tied for second fastest car in history, at 82 km/h (51 mph), in the infamous moose test maneuver, beaten only by the Citroën Xantia Activa V6 record of 85 km/h (53 mph). The test is conducted by the magazine Teknikens Värld's in Sweden, as a test of avoiding a moose in the road. [14]
