Without fully electronic suspension, there is no way around the physics of heavy CUVs, it is either 911GT3 hard or rolls over.
The RAV4, RAV4 Hybrid and RAV4 Prime do not need full electronic suspension to pass the moose test.
The RAV4 and RAV4 Hybrid were tested on the obstacle evasion course in September 2019; they both failed, yet after a stability control system software update, both models passed the moose test.
I have no doubt that the RAV4 Prime will also pass the test, once the stability control software is fixed.
Toyota RAV4 Fails Sweden's Dreaded Moose Test, Company Responds (12-September-2019)
The testers note "dangerous behavior" by the SUV on the twisty cone course, and say "the electronic stability control system engaged very late." Both the pure gas-powered RAV4 and the Hybrid model, when tested (loaded to the manufacturer's maximum limit), hopped up onto the outer two wheels multiple times.
The Toyota RAV4 failed Sweden’s dreaded Moose Test with a top speed of only 42 miles per hour. But Toyota has a response.

Toyota RAV4 Passes Moose Test After Software Update (30-January-2020)
Back in September, the all-new Toyota RAV4 – redesigned for the 2019 model year – failed Teknikens Värld's “Moose Test.” The publication noted the Toyota exhibited “dangerous behavior” because the vehicle’s electronic stability control was engaging very late. Toyota fixed the system’s late engagement through a software update. Teknikens Värld retested the RAV4 with the software update, and it now earns a passing grade from the publication.
The all-new Toyota RAV4 finally passed the infamous “Moose Test” after failing it late last year. Toyota updated the vehicle stability control system.

In the video above, you can see Teknikens Värld doing several runs with the RAV4 Prime. Each time the rear end swings out and takes the crossover way too wide through the narrow course. Finally, at 39 miles per hour (63 kilometers per hour), the vehicle is able to complete the challenge successfully, but this is too slow for the publication to deem the result acceptable.
The RAV4 Prime oversteered going through the course. This is a reaction that is not expected of FWD-biased vehicles; the stability control caused it to react that way. Adjusting how the stability control reacts should fix it, just as an adjustment helped the RAV4 and RAV4 Hybrid last year.
The testers said that it felt like the stability control system was not activating at all to aid the sliding RAV4 Prime.
