Jeep and Wagoneer are some of the first names that come to mind when you think of classic American automakers. Jeep has produced standout cars with iconic styling, infinite customization options, and durability. In 2024, the Jeep Grand Cherokee, the Jeep Grand Cherokee L, and the Wagoneer earned the prestigious Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) Top Safety Pick rating.
About the IIHS Safety Pick Rating
The IIHS Safety Pick Rating goes to vehicles equipped with superior safety technology designed to both help avoid accidents in the first place and minimize impact to occupants when accidents occur. Jeep has secured the coveted IIHS Top Safety Pick rating for several of its vehicles, which is no small accomplishment. To receive a Top Safety Pick designation, cars must meet several criteria. They must earn a rating of at least “Good” or “Acceptable” in several categories, including their headlights and front pedestrian crash avoidance. They must also receive a rating of “Good” for withstanding side impacts and a “Good” rating for small to moderate front overlap.
Wagoneer Safety Rating
The Wagoneer has several key safety aids that helped it earn a top safety score from the IIHS on crash tests. One of its standout safety features is a full-speed collision warning with active braking technology. This feature earned the Wagoneer a "Good" score on front pedestrian crash tests. This same technology proved equally beneficial in mitigating daytime and nighttime collisions, another feature that the IIHS looks for in in-vehicle safety aid technology. One unique feature of Wagoneer's front-crash prevention technology is that it also stands out for its ability to avoid collisions with children jumping out from behind obstructions during the day. This novel safety technology comes standard on all Wagoneer trim levels. The Wagoneer also has integrated sensors and cameras to detect cyclists and pedestrians.
Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee L Safety Features
The Jeep Grand Cherokee has earned a top safety rating for various reasons, including its durable construction. The Grand Cherokee also has advanced airbags and crumple zones, which are areas of the car designed to absorb the impact of a collision while reducing harm to occupants. The Grand Cherokee also has blind spot monitoring and automatic emergency braking. The Grand Cherokee L is also available with a hands-free driving assist system.
