The Moose Test reveals a car's reaction to an unanticipated event, like if an animal ran in front of the vehicle. A driver drives the car around cones in a designated area and at certain points, makes sudden turns in different directions. The route is passed at different speeds to set the maximum speed at which the car can remain in its lane without knocking over cones. A good result would be a speed of 77 km/h (48 mph).
The journalists of the km77 put the 2021 Toyota Camry Hybrid to the test. Measuring in at 4.9 meters long, it is Toyota's largest model available for purchase in Europe. The engine is a hybridized four-cylinder 2.5L that produces 215 horsepower (158 kilowatts) and 221 Newton-meters (163 pound-feet) of torque. The vehicle had Dunlop SP Sport Maxx 050 tires in the 235/45 R18 94 size.
Though it wasn't a record, the test was still successful at 45 mph (73 kph), which is quite good considering the size and weight of the hybrid sedan. The test pilot found the reactions of the car were very predictive at this velocity, though all attempts at a higher speed weren't successful. Overall, even not quite fast, the car felt comfortable and safe in the moose test.

The slalom test showed the Camry Hybrid's good handling, though it still didn't feel like a nimble or performance vehicle. The Camry Hybrid's quick-reacting hybrid powertrain put it next to the BMW iX xDrive40 and Volkswagen Polo 1.0 TSI in the final slalom time.
