Another Rollover Result For The Jeep® Wrangler In IIHS’ Overlap Crash Test!​

Modifications Still Didn't Stop The Wrangler From Rolling Over After Hitting Barrier...​

Just a couple of weeks ago, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) re-evaluated 18 midsized SUVs using its new side-impact test. Among them was the ever-popular 2022 Jeep® Wrangler Unlimited (JL). However, the Wrangler was downgraded from its previous side impact test due to a lack of rear side airbags, allowing for a poor rating for passenger head protection.

In 2019, the Wrangler Unlimited Sport 4×4 was put through IIHS’ driver-side small overlap crash test. During that test upon making contact with the overlap barrier, the vehicle rolled over onto its side. The rolling over increased the chances of injuries after the initial contact, causing the IIHS to grade the vehicle a score of “marginal”.
