Euro NCAP | Toyota Avensis | 2009 | ESC test

http://euroncap.com/results/escperf.aspx
Euro NCAP carried out sine-with-dwell tests according to the ESC GTR global technical regulation, which is based on the US regulation FMVSS126. The testwere completed on all cars whose results were released in 2009. For cars that allowed the ESC system to be switched off, tests were carried out with ESC ON and OFF. Cars were tested by undergoing multiple runs, sometimes as much as 60 per car, each time increasing the steering angle and input. The clip shows the first ESC off test where the car span out. The ESC on test is the one with the same steering input.

Kind of a slow response by the ESC when it's on...compared to most other cars.

It's a warning for the driver that the test is about to begin. If you look closely, it's not the driver who is steering, there is some kind of mechanical steering device around the steering wheel.

@motormusique

i found it satisfying. then again, neither your measurement is accurate, nor my view is objective. :)

@rigidbar

Just visually. You can tell that the back wheels slid for a few metres before the back of the car was brought back into control.

@motormusique how did you measure the response time?
