Can you take a driving test with a new car?

I was taking most of my driving lessons with my parents in their Jeep Cherokee. But last week, my father was in an accident that totaled the car. They just got a new car, but I’m not sure if I can use it for my upcoming driving test. Will the DMV allow me to take a driving test with a new vehicle?
