Performance Analysis

General Grabber GT Plus - Official Image

Across two AutoBild summer SUV tests, the General Grabber GT Plus consistently finishes in the lower third overall (9/12 in 2023 and 9/11 in 2022), driven mainly by weak on-road dynamic performance in both dry and wet cornering-related disciplines. While it shows some isolated strengths (notably off-road sand performance and occasionally good wet braking/aquaplaning), these are not enough to offset its repeated mid-to-backpack results on the core road safety/handling measures that dominate the rankings.

Its clearest positive pattern is off-road capability, especially in sand and (in 2022) gravel traction, plus some respectable aquaplaning resistance. The most repeatable negative pattern is handling/grip in dry and wet (particularly wet circle/limit grip and dry handling), alongside poor grass traction in both tests.

• 1st place sand traction in 2023 (8886 N, 1/12)
• 2nd place gravel traction in 2022 (+2.8% from best, 2/11) and 4th place sand traction in 2022 (4/11)
Aquaplaning Resistance (Straight/Curved) Moderate Details
• Curved aquaplaning 4/11 in 2022 (+3.7% from best) and straight aquaplaning 4/11 in 2022 (+3.6% from best)
