The 2026 Jeep Wrangler 4-door remained upright during the driver-side small overlap crash test,
resolving a longstanding issue with the popular SUV. The improved result came after changes were made to the frame
rail.

In earlier tests, the Wrangler tipped onto its passenger side after striking the barrier, resulting in a marginal rating. The
issue was first identified in a test of the 2019 model and happened again with the 2022 model despite an earlier round of
modifications.

Thanks to the latest changes, Wranglers built after October 2025 earn an acceptable small overlap rating, which
combines results from the driver-side and passenger-side tests. While the vehicle provides solid protection overall, in the
passenger-side test, it showed a high risk of injury to the front passenger’s right foot and leg.

Stellantis made the same modifications to the frame rail on the 2026 Jeep Gladiator. The pickup also earns an
acceptable rating for vehicles built after October 2025.

These results are valid only for models sold in the USA
