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