2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L 4-door SUV (1)

Action shot taken during the driver-side small overlap frontal crash test.

2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L 4-door SUV (2)

The dummy's position in relation to the door frame, steering wheel, and instrument panel after the crash test indicates that the driver's survival space was maintained very well.

2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L 4-door SUV (3)

The frontal and side curtain airbags worked well together to keep the head from coming close to any stiff structure or outside objects that could cause injury.

2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L 4-door SUV (4)

The driver's space was maintained well, and risk of injuries to the dummy's legs and feet was low.

How the driver-side small overlap front test is conducted

Small overlap front: passenger-side

Rating applies to 2022-23 models

Tested vehicle: 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Limited 4-door 4wd

The Jeep Grand Cherokee L, a 3-row version of the Grand Cherokee, was introduced in the 2021 model year and the 2-row Jeep Grand Cherokee was redesigned for the 2022 model year. Beginning with 2022 models, modifications were made to the front passenger-side carpet pad to improve occupant safety in passenger-side small overlap crashes. Passenger-side small overlap frontal ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test of a 2022 Grand Cherokee L conducted by Stellantis as part of frontal crash test verification.

How the moderate overlap front test is conducted

Side: updated test

Rating applies to 2023 models built after May 2023

Tested vehicle: 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Limited 4-door 4wd

The Jeep Grand Cherokee L, a 3-row version of the Grand Cherokee, was introduced in the 2021 model year. Beginning with 2023 models built after May 2023, structural modifications were made to improve vehicle performance and occupant safety in side impact crashes. (Information about when a specific vehicle was manufactured is on the certification label typically affixed to the car on the driver door or adjacent B-pillar.) Side 2.0 ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test of a 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L conducted by Stellantis as part of side crash test verification.

Distance at which headlights provide at least 5 lux illumination:

Low beams
On the straightaway, visibility was good on both sides of the road. On curves, visibility was good on both right curves, fair on the sharp left curve and inadequate on the gradual left curve.

The low beams never exceeded glare limits.

High beams
On the straightaway, visibility was good on the right side of the road and fair on the left side. On curves, visibility was good on the gradual right curve and fair on the sharp right and both left curves.

High-beam assist compensates for some limitations of this vehicle's low beams on the straightaway, on both left curves and on the sharp right curve.
