This is the NHTSA NCAP frontal crash test for 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee (WK2) Laredo 4x4
The fourth-generation Jeep Grand Cherokee is a mid-size crossover SUV first introduced for the 2011 model year.
The steel unibody design is all new and has undergone testing for aerodynamic efficiency while improving ruggedness with more than 5,400 welds in the body alone. This results in a 146% increase in torsional rigidity compared to the previous design. This improves durability and reduces noise, vibration, and harshness.
The new WK2 also features four-wheel independent suspension for better on-road handling. The Grand Cherokee (with the 2011 Durango) WK2 platform uses a derivative based on Mercedes-Benz's W166 series. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeep_Grand_Cherokee_(WK2))
NHTSA New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) Frontal Impact:
The frontal crash test evaluates injury to the head, neck, chest, and legs of the driver and front seat passenger. Crash test dummies representing an average-sized adult male and a small-sized adult female are placed in the driver and front passenger seats, respectively, and are secured with seat belts. Vehicles are crashed into a fixed barrier at 35 mph (56.3km/h), which is equivalent to a head-on collision between two similar vehicles each moving at 35 mph. 1 star is the lowest rating; 5 stars is the highest. More stars equal safer cars.
Overall Rating: 4-Star
Overall Front Star Rating: 4-Star
Front Driver Side: 5-Star
Front Passenger Side: 5-Star
Overall Side Star Rating: 5-Star
Combined Side Barrier and Pole Ratings (Front Seat): 5-Star
Combined Side Barrier and Pole Ratings (Rear Seat): 5-Star
Side Barrier Rating: 5-Star
Side Barrier (Driver): 5-Star
Side Barrier (Rear Passenger): 5-Star
Rollover Star Rating: 4-Star
The rollover rating measures the risk of rollover in a single-vehicle, loss-of-control scenario.
