2022 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited overturned during crash test with a small overlap on the driver’s side. As in 2020, this was done by the 2019 SUV.
Stellantis is known to have made a number of design changes to the front of the Wrangler Unlimited to prevent the SUV from tipping over and achieve a higher crash test score. But it did not help.
Sensors detected a “significant risk of injury” to the driver’s left leg and foot, according to the IIHS report. And then there’s this rollover … In addition, the SUV for side impact protection received a minimal rating, although three years ago the level of protection in such a crash was good. Now the head of the dummy hit the soft top support and the door frame.
The IIHS requirements for test vehicles for the 2023 model year are getting even stricter, with higher-speed side-impact collisions and heavier vehicle layout. There is also a new test to prevent collisions with pedestrians at night.
