Teknikensvarld isn't the best when it coms to these kind of things. One thing I noticed that ESP seems to be turned of. Auto Motor und Sport also does the "Moose test". Here in the test called 'Double lane change" the C350e does 126 km/h.

Look at the geriatric driving ~ No surprise. I would be far more inclined to believe Auto Motor und Sport!

Battery pack location does not help. It would be interesting to know relative weight of battery pack vs a full tank of fuel. Fuel tanks located lower & in front of rear axle.

Tried a moose test a couple a weeks ago and the C220d passed the test and both the elk and I survived.
