@Rick Pao High deformation in the passenger compartment on the Jeep. As for the Panda, standards change year on year, although this does make it hard to understand.
Not true taking the doors off is safe, think about this.... you’re about to hit a 18 wheeler head on and there’s no avoiding it, you can easily jump out and roll, doors are very hard to open with wind, try opening you’re doors going 70 it’s really hard 😏
My childhood friend was in a jeep that rear ended a FedEx truck, didn't even look to be that bad an accident as the jeep was still driveable but his head hit the side pillar and now he has the mental capacity of a child. He was an amazing athlete and the girls loved him, so sad to see him now. His sister has done allot of research on jeeps and she tells us they are just too ridgid and do not crumple the way most modern cars do so the forces back on the driver are significantly higher then they should be for a modern vehicle
The thing no one understands when they buy a Jeep because it’s cool is they’re not made with safety in mind they’re made for off-roading. You want the body to be rigid and not give when your sliding into trees or sliding off rocks or having slow rollovers. Off-roading you’re not gonna be at any sort of real speed so the concern isn’t on the vehicle occupants it’s making sure you don’t absolutely total your vehicle when you misjudge a rock or whatever.
When I was younger I was t-boned in a Jeep Wrangler and my head hit the B pillar and Jeeps don’t have soft surfaces inside. I had lost all short term memory for weeks. I now own a 2020 Subaru Forester for its safety rating. I’m old enough now to not take unnecessary risks
Just piss poor engineering and design... too much aluminum and plastic everywhere. It is not even a true Jeep... Fiat just owns the Jeep name. There is nothing American on the new Fiat Wranglers
Soccer mom's need to stop buying jeeps. They aren't designed to be safe, they are designed to take a beating off-road. Simple as that. You don't buy a wrangler thinking about safety.
@@ALEX-sh3tx that's because Chrysler is stupid and put a minivan engine in the jk in 2008. Not only that but Chrysler was having financial issues long before they took over the jeep brand. You talking like Chrysler is the only company that has made jeeps but in reality they are the company that ruined jeeps.
Jeep has been around longer than both Chrysler and fiat. Actually the only 2 companies that were around back then were GMC and the Ford motor company. The dodge brothers were still working for Ford back than. Chrysler ruined jeep. Jeep did not ruin Chrysler.
Yeah its a bit odd! The basic structure is really strong as expected from any high quality safe vehicle. Probably the rating has to do with chassis force absorption. I'm waiting for the US rating.
There are no rear curtain airbags, not much of a crumple zone in the front, and the body of the car isn’t absorbing the damage. Therefore, there is more chance of serious injury for the occupants inside the vehicle.
I see - the jeep keeps its shape almost perfectly, transferring all the crash energy into the squishy people inside. That was considered a safety feature in the 1950's or 40's I believe. Until people realized that crumple zones make a car look - well, crumpled, but the people inside don't squish.
Downloaded and read the entire report. This score was largely due to not have electronic braking assist, not being able to fit some car seats, and the amount of damage a pedestrian or bicyclist would take when struck by the Jeep. I'm not kidding. I get it, safety first, but if the Wrangler was tested with the brake assist and other features that are available, it would have been rated above 3 stars. As far as the rest, you are supposed to fit your car seat to the vehicle, not the other way around... and if you are routinely running over pedestrians there's a bigger problem.
I was in an accident recently in my 2019 JL sport S. Someone broke to hard and we were both going 50 mph. The Jeep saved my life and it is still repairable so in my book it’s safe enough.
Glad to hear you are safe! Argument wise it is poor because you generalize as proven by these tests. I hope all will be as lucky as you of course. Hope they improve it next years
I bought my Rubicon for mostly off-roading and the ability to flat tow it behind my motorhome. It is not the most comfortable vehicle I ever owned, but I can drive it to the hills and climb rocks the size of a car, go through rivers and streams. Then I hop on the highway and go home. I'll deal with the one star. Do that with your 4 star cars.
any cars doors can be taken off. I can take the doors off my 89 Grand Wagoneer if i wanted, two bolts on the hinges and a wire harness you unplug at the door
The Jeep is always underestimated, it is not made for wrecking, it has always been simpler than other vehicles, the Jeep Wrangler is made for off-roading
Yess more like customized offroader for an off-road fan ,,I'm not from US,, but I like jeep very much and own a wrangler ,,only true wrangler fan will appreciate it. .
Geo Go55 I guess you consider driving over curbs at mall off roading. The frame in the Wrangler is so weak you can’t jack it up high enough to change a tire.
Lmao you act like jeeps of today are the same as how they used to be made. You do realize Jeep is owned by FIat one of the worst car companies out there. All jeep has is their name that is it, their quality is shit.
I will say this about a jeep wrangler. I was rear ended by a huge dodge ram truck at an intersection. I was sitting still and the truck was doing probably 25mph when it hit me. I was totally fine and it felt like a minor accident. But when I got out I was shocked the dodge was crumoled up and the driver hurt. The front bumper of the truck was pushed in to the motor. The hood was bent in half. Plastic, metal glass laying on the ground. My tire pushed in the rear door in a little bit. Say what ya want about vehicles crumpling up to keep the passenger safe but sometimes it works out better to be in a roll cage.
The reason why is that cars are designed to crumple and absorb energy from an accident. If the car is rigid and doesn't take that force away, it goes straight to the passengers. Cars are supposed to protect you for forces from an accident to keep you for as many injuries as possible. Roll cages are nice but you don't need a roll cage if your dead after going 50 into the back of a car.
Kommentator did you not read the description? It got that score because it doesn’t have any driver assistance Systems. Not because it actually did bad in the crash.
@@thomasrossi31 It is all about how linear the momentum can be dissipated, if that isn't linear enough, in this case there seem to be severe spikes of force, there is a higher risk of mainly brain and neck injuries. You can compare it to the difference of punching a wall vs punching a pillow. The kinetic energy is the same, the peak forces and thus the potential injuries are very different.
If you want something abrupt, try crashing a Fiat 500 head on into a Jeep. Because of it's weight, the Jeep is actually very safe in most driving situations.
Ninooooo; No, it got one star because it folded like a paper plane. Even if you added the driver assistance tech such as AEB, the most this pile of shit would get is two stars. But hey, legs and feet are overrated to some Jeep fans I guess.
Yep. They rate on a 4 star evaluation. Poor, marginal, good, and excellent. Their rating is good overall with a marginal side impact because of the lack of head protection. Not this "1 star" crap.
Amar K one star because there is a lack of a decent crumple zone so all the force of the energy is transferred in to the compartment. Just read the full report and you’d understand why it did so poorly. It’s redesigned and it’s 2018 and you can’t even get this vehicle with side curtain airbags or even a side rear airbag.
Kevin L. do you really expect a vehicle with a removable top to have side curtain airbags? If you’re so worried about having a perfectly safe vehicle then buy a Volvo.
I saw a crash rollover of a Jeep where both parents died and a kid, crash should have been survivable, but the top caved in like an aluminum can. Absolutely no engineering has gone into making the structure a lot more safe which they could easily do. Their front bumpers are like 8" short in each direction making the tire be the primary crush zone. Just horrible.
It’s not actually bad at all if you read why it got that score. It only got 1 star because it doesn’t have any driver assistance system such as lane jeep assist and automatic braking. Jeep wanted to include these but the sensors have to be fitted to the windshield which on the wrangler folds down making it impossible to add these features. And as most Jeep Wrangler owners would rather have a fold down windshield instead of these technologies that’s what jeep went with.
So what’s issue? Airbags deployed, structure survived as did occupants. If anything Jeep is one tough vehicle, and so it should be. Want 5 star car...buy pissy fwd shopping centre speed hump jumper.
Look I don't like the rating either, and I don't really care cause I like my Jeep either way. But that jeep did not take any of the blow, alot of the occupants would have suffered horrible neck injuries. At one point the child dummies head smashed into the metal bar. It is a somewhat fair evaluation, but I don't think it's one star.
You can't tell the forces exerted on a dummy just by watching this video. They have instrumentation in the dummies to see when safe limits are exceded. I think they know what they're doing.
2019 Wrangler got a 3 star rollover rating in US , the last frontal crash test in US was in 2017 and scored good . The European test scores more for crash avoidance , so the Wrangler had a low score .
Heck if using those rubber bumpers etc of course it looks bad . Put some bull gaurds front back and side steps all steal etc . You wont get a scratch. Trust me it works.
The sad thing is that many teens including myself want a Jeep Wrangler and if they’re not even safe, what’s the point in getting one?Teens of all groups of people are the ones that get injured or die in car wrecks the most and the fact that we all thought this car was military grade and shit, is upsetting.
The reason why is that cars are designed to crumple and absorb energy from an accident. If the car is rigid and doesn't take that force away, it goes straight to the passengers. Cars are supposed to protect you for forces from an accident to keep you for as many injuries as possible
That means that the energy from the crash wasn't absorbed by the car, but rather the pasangers. Stop defending this shitheap, it git one star for a reason.

It’s a solid framed vehicle so it won’t crumple too much and there’s no side curtain airbags in the rear because the top, doors, and roll bars are removable so it would be hard to get something back there. Best bet would be to add something to the outside of the seat or headrest that may go out the side but even that would be difficult.
Like motorcycles and convertibles, driving a Jeep Wrangler is a calculated risk. I owned a 2013 Jeep Wrangler, and my answer to everyone who asked me "How do you like it?", was always "What the Wrangler is built to do, it does extremely well.". It was never built for a 5 star crash rating, but everyone should already know that.
@X X that makes a lot of sense, thanks for the comment. Didn't even think about the frame on body construction, I wouldnt want to be inside that thing.
@X X making stuff up now. Jeeps are safe. Deal with it. No matter how much you hate them, you can't just pull shit from thin air like ask any Jeep owner that's been able to survive. So 95% or so....yeah ok.
Look at the report and the Jeeps gets dinged for not having an automatic braking system and a couple of other automatic safety features (2019 has these features now). So it’s not necessarily the crash test in particular that gives it the low rating. I didn’t get my Jeep for all the cool wiz bang technology, so this test score did not dissuade me from buying one...

No other vehicle can do what a JEEP does - period. JEEPs are amazing vehicles with tremendous capabilities and designed for off road adventures. See you on top of the mountain!

The takeaway here is that extra rigidity may seem worth its weight in gold in an accident, but in reality not as much energy is being absorbed by the crumple zone, leading to much greater potential for injury in many accident scenarios.
I'm not a jeep fanboy, but I don't see a failure. I would consider any test where the occupants would be alive with minimal injury. From the looks of things, a real life scenario occupants would be just fine.
Jeep cab compartment held up great compared to other vehicles. Additionally, the front wheel on the offset front impact did not collapse the front driver or passenger leg area. The front and side air bags seemed extremely effective to reduce the shock to the front passengers. Too bad they could not report pressure on the dummies and provide data that support the rating. I am guessing the rating agency doesn't approve that jeep doesn't incorporate more safety features such as rear air bags and automatic sensors to stop the vehicle and prevent a crash. How much weight did they give to metrics such as the rating agency did not like the steel bumper option to prevent injury to pedestrian. Too bad these agencies don't provide more information on metrics vs. providing a star rating.
The car doesn't bend or crumble whatsoever therefore the energy transferred to the people inside isn't mitigated. This is why when you crash a volvo or toyata at the same speeds the cars are a total wreck but the people inside are fine

In every motor vehicle collision, there are 3 "crashes" going on: 1-The vehicle vs some type of obstacle. 2-The vehicle occupants vs the vehicle they're in. (You vs the air bags, the dash, steering wheel, door pillar, or your seat belt) and 3-Your insides vs your outsides. (Your internal organs vs your skeletal structure. The more you have #1 absorb, the less you get for #2 and #3. The more you have of #2, the less you had of #1 and the more of #3 you will get. The more #3 you have, the more likely you will be in a coffin and not a wheelchair 3 days later. Cars should crumple up to keep the occupants safe, not look like they sustained no damage after a crash. *drops mic*
i think the scariest part about this test is the bare metal reardoors with no passenger airbag and that the car dosent crumble on a front collosion, makin the passengers absorb all that energy.
Everyone's saying don't buy it, it's not safe, or I'll never buy a jeep now. I only buy jeeps now, me and my wife were sitting on a highway in our wrangler at a stop light, a semi didn't see the red light. He slammed on him brake but still coming in at about 35 rear ended us throwing us into the intersection doing a complete 360. I was able to drive the jeep to the side of the road thinking that the back of the jeep was completely smashed in. To my surprise we did more damage to the semi than the jeep. My dad was able to drive it to the auto body place. I know that these vehicles are safe and that's why I love my jeeps. If you don't want one that's your choice but in my opinion they are very worth it.
To suggest any modern vehicle sold in America is unsafe is ridiculous. Modern American crash test standards are very aggressive. This is why the average car in America costs over 30 grand.
Say all you want, I work in the collision repair world and they SURVIVE. They hold up. They repair well. Very difficult to total them, and when they do. the owners retain them. I have been waiting for years to get a totaled Rubicon. And I will be waiting many more years I am sure. I own and LOVE my JKU sport and will retain it if the worst happen to it.
It looks bad here but on the streets, all the cars I've seen that crashes with a jeep ends up totaled and the jeep ends up much less damaged.. so. 🤷🏻♂️
Less damaged vehicle ≠ safer occupants. Pick: Either you survive the crash, OR your vehicle does. I know which I would pick. If you don't understand this, Google car crumple zones and you shall be enlightened. Also wouldn't hurt to take high school physics over again and PAY ATTENTION this time.
@@4WDriver - When hitting a stationary object that can be true. When 2 vehicles collide. Other forces are at work. When the other vehicle crumples. The energy is dissipated that way. When vehicles deflect the others. The energy is lost by sliding tires. The crash tests that are popular today. Only show part of what happens in the real world. Like when hitting a bridge pillar or wall. What happens when hitting a guard rail or smaller car, is not shown anymore.
Actually the Jeep Wrangler has the best accident avoidance feature of any new car on the market. The secret is they stay in the mechanic shop broke down so much there's little chance of being in a major collision.
Looks like driver and front passenger would be fine. Rear passengers could use airbags. But other than that it looks like a strong pass. Do not give a chyte if your head hits a bumper and pedestrian dies as that is not purpose of the damn thing. My real problem with a jeep wrangler is that a properly optioned one is 50k.. For an Italian Chrysler product. LOL
Bought mine for 30, no ones fault you "needed" heated leather, sub woofer, tinted windows, hard and premium twill soft top, and a host of other luxuries.
Had three jeeps, stock I never forgot how bad a wreck would be. I armored them all up side steps, heavy as bumpers, winches, 35-37s, roll cages before I even put my kids in. If you buy and build a bad ass take they will be ok stock no thanks,
To the people saying it doesn’t look bad. That’s the bad part. Cars are supposed to crumple to provide a greater time during deceleration. Otherwise you get countercoup injury and traumatic dissection of the aortic arch due to immediate deceleration injury
Now take the doors and top off and side impact again. Come on it's a jeep not a subaru!!!!!!!! Chill out people. How many motor cycles do you see going the crash test??? Ok thank you...
@Ptguy0618 Stats.....30K per year.....Dont matter who is riding. The number is low. For 2017.....5286 people were killed on a motorcycle. You are 5 times more likely to die in a car wreck than a motorcycle wreck.
@@iamtheoffenderofall Is that total number per miles driven, per amount of motorcycles registered or what is it EXACTLY??!! 30k - what does it mean, EXACTLY? It is necessary to compare the 30k number to something - like the number of bikers, the number of bikes etc. Preferably to the amount of people-miles driven. Then the comparison makes sense.
I don’t buy it, my son took my wrangler on a trip to San Diego, CA and fell asleep at the wheel, he veered off the road into a dirt field, he woke up regained control but before he could stop, the front tire hit a boulder going 65 mph causing the car to snap to the right suddenly which then caused him to roll over 3 or 4 times and ended up upside down. His only injury was a scratch on his knee when he crawled out the window, the roll cage which all jeeps have saved his life, the doors help up fine as well. I don’t know many vehicles equipped with roll cages so that’s one huge advantage jeeps do have over other vehicles. My jeep also had 4 point harness seatbelts which held him in better than standard seatbelts, something I think would keep passengers in any vehicle from all that jolting around in any type of collision.
I used to work for a rental car company that carried Wranglers. . . The ride quality was bad, the acceleration was bad, the braking was bad, there's barely any room for passengers to sit in the back, it felt unstable at highway speeds, and the turning radius was so unbelievably restricted that when we first took delivery, we thought there was something wrong with the vehicle. . . Regardless, I enjoyed driving the Wrangler. Why? Because it was flashy and fun. That's the main reason people buy them. I don't doubt that they perform very well as off-road vehicles which is what they're supposed to be used for. As a daily driver, the Wrangler is objectively terrible. . . But a lot of people just want a car that makes them feel cool.
Drive the 4 door and come back and comment. Turning circle on the JKU is excellent BTW and with the thick padded seats, very comfortable indeed! @ 285hp it is no slouch so I am having a hard time believing your story.
Structurally it seems safe. Looks like it lacks alot of airbags like side curtain airbags. Remember what the purpose of the jeep is people. Removable doors, roofs, drop windscreen... Something has to give. Structurally it seems to do a good job protecting accupant from intrusion
The reason why is that cars are designed to crumple and absorb energy from an accident. If the car is rigid and doesn't take that force away, it goes straight to the passengers. Cars are supposed to protect you for forces from an accident to keep you for as many injuries as possible
Whatch the crash test footage for some of the other car brands and your see this is actually impressive for how little damage is done to the jeep and how much the crash doesn't smash stuff into the passengers
My wife owns a Jeep Wrangler. She was rear ended by someone going 70 mph. She was 100% fine and the vehicle only had $500 in damage. The VW that hit here was 100% totaled and the drivers was taken to the hospital in an ambulance. Vehicle when driven correctly is VERY SAFE!
I think the real life safety tests are very variable and relative. We own jeep wrangler and we unfortunately involved in some major accidents, surprisingly enough after the accident we drove the car home with minor scratches while the other cars were crumbled like coke cans. Jeep wrangler is safe car .
Wranglers are as rugged as the people who drive them and are meant for people who already know how to drive. It's one of the few cars you can buy that still has an option for manual everything--manual transmission, manual window cranks, manual door locks. They do not, and have never, coddled their owners, nor do their owners expect it. If you're an urban dilettante who wants to sip lattes on the way to work, a Wrangler is not for you. Wranglers are plenty tough. Once a lady came to a dead stop in front of me just as I was completing a lane change. She said she heard a noise coming from the engine, and apparently she forgot that you're supposed to pull over, THEN stop. I received a bent bumper and a tiny ripple in my hood; her Hyundai was crushed to two-thirds its original length. Fortunately she wasn't hurt. Another time, somebody rear-ended me. He bashed in his grille and impaled his bumper on my recovery hook. All I got was scuffed paint on the recovery hook. Yes, it's possible to break a Wrangler. Hit anything hard enough and it'll break. Welcome to Physics 101.
I had an early 90's S10 Blazer that was rear-ended by an early 2000's Accent... Accent was towed off with a wrecked bumped and damaged radiator... I had to polish the chrome on my hitch, barely felt the impact.
@@shadowwolfmandan Yup, that sounds about right. Something similar happened to me-I was rear-ended by a Honda CRV I think, impaled the bumper and cracked the grille in half, scuffed the paint on my recovery hook. The reverse also happened-I rear-ended a 2005 Elantra. The impact was such that the embossed letters on my license plate holder were stamped into the other car, and the trunk was crushed to half its original depth. I bent my bumper-on one side. I'll take the ladder frame over the stamped-metal origami, thank you.
Nope, by definition every car is modular. What's your point? If you're about to say body on frame isn't safe I can provide you with plenty of examples. Not to mention this jeep is solid steel and has extremely stout parts. If this were to wreck into most cars, it would easily win and take less damage.
Since some parts of the body are made to be dismantled for example the Roof..Overall rigidity decreases as a result..The roof parts are not made to transfer impact forces..
@@harikrishnasenthilkumar5853 Why did you think they test it with the roof on and the roof off? Same for all convertibles. This has a 5 point ROLL CAGE built in, name another with that rigidity.. Do you know anything about wrangler? You realize that the euro tests are made up of tests that don't really matter which constantly rank American vehicles (which are the safest in the world) low, because we don't design them to meet pointless scoring " milestones" . We don't factor in its "green" capabilities because in a CRASH that doesn't matter, unless you go up in flames like many teslas due to the battery exploding this jeep did acceptable in the only crash rating that actually matters, IIHS .
I saw a sign in the plant with a picture of a rolled over wrangler and a note she sent thanking the manufacturer for her jeep rolling over and saving her life, i say, it wouldnt have had to save her life if it wouldnt have rolled- i too had a similar experience people you will roll if you get t boned at 35 mph, or at least up on 2 wheels like my experience. Its a lifestyle truck and its best for that- mudding lifestyle.
I had a Nissan micra and a drunk driver in a Prius crushed it between a wall leaving a cat pancake. Quite happy tho because I bought my jeep which I love Edit: just to say I wasn’t in the car I was in my house when it happened
Jeep doesnt seem to crample and absorb damage because of the rigid frame, meaning the passenger will be rattled like a ball bearing in a paint can upon impact.
I’m glad it’s unsafe. Those new Jeeps are so phony. People buy them because they think they’re safe and they don’t have to be careful. They think it’s a classic car that you can drive anywhere and not have to put service into with all the latest safety features
Don't let those dummies drive. They wreck everything.
😂LMAO
That is goooooood 😁😀
They think a concrete wall is a vacation destination, and the dummy kids be like, are we there yet, are we there yet?
Bobby Brown they look happy to me
@Bobby Brown "Why me?"
Honestly most people who buy jeeps, they take off the doors and drive it around town... so safety is not #1 on their list. Haha.
@Rick Pao That's not the only reason, most of the ratings was because it's poor safety design overall, mostly standard with Fiat-Chrysler tho.
@Rick Pao High deformation in the passenger compartment on the Jeep. As for the Panda, standards change year on year, although this does make it hard to understand.
Not true taking the doors off is safe, think about this.... you’re about to hit a 18 wheeler head on and there’s no avoiding it, you can easily jump out and roll, doors are very hard to open with wind, try opening you’re doors going 70 it’s really hard 😏
there is a tag inside stating that the top and doors are only to protect you from the elements. my 07 jk has it anyway.
Yea, looks pretty damn safe to me
The people that buy jeeps don't really care if it safe. Why should they though? You buy a jeep because it is cool. You can take the doors off!
Barsa F think of it this way,
Which is safer a bike or a wrangler ?
Both are transportation vehicles to get you from point A to B 🤓👌🏻
I have Renegade with 5stars so people care what they buy. Much better q: why FCA done that with Wrangler?
Mohammed Almaiseb because a wrangler is 10 times cooler than a bike
Someone is jealous
Barsa F ya no kidding jeep can take the doors off looks so cool however Jeep is design for off-road and not the " highway" .

Soccer mom's need to stop buying jeeps. They aren't designed to be safe, they are designed to take a beating off-road. Simple as that. You don't buy a wrangler thinking about safety.
whiteouthamstra if the soccer mom stopped buying Jeep the company would most likely go out of business
@@ALEX-sh3tx they've been around for 70 plus years. Jeep would get by even if not under the Chrysler name
whiteouthamstra that's why they went bankrupt in 2008 and had to be bailed out by the government right? Ok

Jeep has been around longer than both Chrysler and fiat. Actually the only 2 companies that were around back then were GMC and the Ford motor company. The dodge brothers were still working for Ford back than. Chrysler ruined jeep. Jeep did not ruin Chrysler.

It looks okay for me, to be honest. I don't understand the One-Star Rating.
The Forces dont get absorbed by the chasses.. thats why 1 star only :)=
Didn't you see the kid at the back banged his head on the door? With no airbags...
Yeah its a bit odd! The basic structure is really strong as expected from any high quality safe vehicle. Probably the rating has to do with chassis force absorption. I'm waiting for the US rating.
Looks like it did great
There are no rear curtain airbags, not much of a crumple zone in the front, and the body of the car isn’t absorbing the damage. Therefore, there is more chance of serious injury for the occupants inside the vehicle.
I see - the jeep keeps its shape almost perfectly, transferring all the crash energy into the squishy people inside.
That was considered a safety feature in the 1950's or 40's I believe. Until people realized that crumple zones make a car look - well, crumpled, but the people inside don't squish.
Then on other crash test videos, people complain about how the cars crumple and say they're not safe.
Those cars are made to go offroad, and they can't be soft like city cars
Downloaded and read the entire report. This score was largely due to not have electronic braking assist, not being able to fit some car seats, and the amount of damage a pedestrian or bicyclist would take when struck by the Jeep. I'm not kidding. I get it, safety first, but if the Wrangler was tested with the brake assist and other features that are available, it would have been rated above 3 stars. As far as the rest, you are supposed to fit your car seat to the vehicle, not the other way around... and if you are routinely running over pedestrians there's a bigger problem.
I was in an accident recently in my 2019 JL sport S. Someone broke to hard and we were both going 50 mph. The Jeep saved my life and it is still repairable so in my book it’s safe enough.
Glad to hear you are safe! Argument wise it is poor because you generalize as proven by these tests. I hope all will be as lucky as you of course. Hope they improve it next years
I bought my Rubicon for mostly off-roading and the ability to flat tow it behind my motorhome. It is not the most comfortable vehicle I ever owned, but I can drive it to the hills and climb rocks the size of a car, go through rivers and streams. Then I hop on the highway and go home. I'll deal with the one star. Do that with your 4 star cars.

The Jeep is always underestimated, it is not made for wrecking, it has always been simpler than other vehicles, the Jeep Wrangler is made for off-roading
It's still better than classic Lada Niva. At a crash test at least...
Yess more like customized offroader for an off-road fan ,,I'm not from US,, but I like jeep very much and own a wrangler ,,only true wrangler fan will appreciate it. .
I mean yeah. And people say

It’s a jeep. It’s supposed to have mud
Geo Go55 I guess you consider driving over curbs at mall off roading. The frame in the Wrangler is so weak you can’t jack it up high enough to change a tire.
Lmao you act like jeeps of today are the same as how they used to be made. You do realize Jeep is owned by FIat one of the worst car companies out there. All jeep has is their name that is it, their quality is shit.
I will say this about a jeep wrangler. I was rear ended by a huge dodge ram truck at an intersection. I was sitting still and the truck was doing probably 25mph when it hit me. I was totally fine and it felt like a minor accident. But when I got out I was shocked the dodge was crumoled up and the driver hurt. The front bumper of the truck was pushed in to the motor. The hood was bent in half. Plastic, metal glass laying on the ground. My tire pushed in the rear door in a little bit. Say what ya want about vehicles crumpling up to keep the passenger safe but sometimes it works out better to be in a roll cage.
The reason why is that cars are designed to crumple and absorb energy from an accident. If the car is rigid and doesn't take that force away, it goes straight to the passengers. Cars are supposed to protect you for forces from an accident to keep you for as many injuries as possible. Roll cages are nice but you don't need a roll cage if your dead after going 50 into the back of a car.
That frontal crash looked awful.. way too abrupt.
Kommentator did you not read the description? It got that score because it doesn’t have any driver assistance
Systems. Not because it actually did bad in the crash.
I think the physics of a crash require abrupt... do you think a crash in any other is less abrupt?
@@thomasrossi31 It is all about how linear the momentum can be dissipated, if that isn't linear enough, in this case there seem to be severe spikes of force, there is a higher risk of mainly brain and neck injuries. You can compare it to the difference of punching a wall vs punching a pillow. The kinetic energy is the same, the peak forces and thus the potential injuries are very different.
If you want something abrupt, try crashing a Fiat 500 head on into a Jeep. Because of it's weight, the Jeep is actually very safe in most driving situations.
Ninooooo; No, it got one star because it folded like a paper plane. Even if you added the driver assistance tech such as AEB, the most this pile of shit would get is two stars. But hey, legs and feet are overrated to some Jeep fans I guess.
Waiting with my tea in hand for IIHS to upload their video evaluation.
Yep. They rate on a 4 star evaluation. Poor, marginal, good, and excellent. Their rating is good overall with a marginal side impact because of the lack of head protection. Not this "1 star" crap.
@@aidencommodore8781 So why 'crap' rated Renegade 14 5stars and compas 17 5stars?

Funny thing is Mahindra THAR 2020(it's a licensed copy of jeep designs) got 4 star in crash tests
1 star is not because of the frame but the lack of airbags and safety features
1 star cause it's garbage period!!
Amar K one star because there is a lack of a decent crumple zone so all the force of the energy is transferred in to the compartment. Just read the full report and you’d understand why it did so poorly. It’s redesigned and it’s 2018 and you can’t even get this vehicle with side curtain airbags or even a side rear airbag.
Thought it was because it doesn't have needless things like brake assist or lane correcting
Yes!
Kevin L. do you really expect a vehicle with a removable top to have side curtain airbags? If you’re so worried about having a perfectly safe vehicle then buy a Volvo.

Me: A Jeep!
Mom: Ohh
Me: *watches this a few years later*
Me: Neeevermind
NOPE
Look at IIHS Insurance Loss Data! The Wrangler is one of the safest vehicles on the road!
That's exactly what I told people that is thinking of buying a mopedcar. "Look this crash video" you don't need to say a word more xD
I saw a crash rollover of a Jeep where both parents died and a kid, crash should have been survivable, but the top caved in like an aluminum can. Absolutely no engineering has gone into making the structure a lot more safe which they could easily do. Their front bumpers are like 8" short in each direction making the tire be the primary crush zone. Just horrible.
I'm really dissapointed
I'm disappointed and I'm not even a jeep fan
It’s not actually bad at all if you read why it got that score. It only got 1 star because it doesn’t have any driver assistance system such as lane jeep assist and automatic braking. Jeep wanted to include these but the sensors have to be fitted to the windshield which on the wrangler folds down making it impossible to add these features. And as most Jeep Wrangler owners would rather have a fold down windshield instead of these technologies that’s what jeep went with.
@@ninooooo2128 Ok.
Asuncion Led Design Asunción Led Design im from Brazil and im two! What’s happening with the Jeep strong cars???
Ninooooo true but then Jeep is not good for everyday driving . Better and more safer to drive on off-road .
On the concrete wall test, car performed the rubbish. It barely crumpled. The plastic front bit was the only real crumple zone.
All I'm saying is they really need to put rear passenger airbags, maybe in the seats like the front. Those rear passengers STAY getting brain damage.
Nope! Never happens in real life, look at the data!
@@4nciite, T-bones never happen in real life? Ok.

So what’s issue? Airbags deployed, structure survived as did occupants. If anything Jeep is one tough vehicle, and so it should be. Want 5 star car...buy pissy fwd shopping centre speed hump jumper.
Crumple zone all the force went into the cabin
Look I don't like the rating either, and I don't really care cause I like my Jeep either way. But that jeep did not take any of the blow, alot of the occupants would have suffered horrible neck injuries. At one point the child dummies head smashed into the metal bar. It is a somewhat fair evaluation, but I don't think it's one star.
Cataclysmic Computers I agree with you on the neck thing with the dummies but it could at least got a 2
The side impact didn’t look that bad but the children’s heads still hit the metal causing damage
You can't tell the forces exerted on a dummy just by watching this video. They have instrumentation in the dummies to see when safe limits are exceded. I think they know what they're doing.
2019 Wrangler got a 3 star rollover rating in US , the last frontal crash test in US was in 2017 and scored good .
The European test scores more for crash avoidance , so the Wrangler had a low score .
Yo, fr I just played the song without really checking what crash test is about XD, but yes I’m that jeeps don’t have good ratings in crash crash tests
What is the name of the song?
Heck if using those rubber bumpers etc of course it looks bad .
Put some bull gaurds front back and side steps all steal etc . You wont get a scratch. Trust me it works.
Coz Iii your car will be fine the passengers will literally absorb all the energy
The sad thing is that many teens including myself want a Jeep Wrangler and if they’re not even safe, what’s the point in getting one?Teens of all groups of people are the ones that get injured or die in car wrecks the most and the fact that we all thought this car was military grade and shit, is upsetting.
this seems pretty safe, what's the 1 star for?
FrenzioGeo It got dinged for pedestrian safety.
Tall ride height with a flat front will do that
Tell me, how does it seem safe? What made you come to this conclusion?

That means that the energy from the crash wasn't absorbed by the car, but rather the pasangers. Stop defending this shitheap, it git one star for a reason.

It’s a solid framed vehicle so it won’t crumple too much and there’s no side curtain airbags in the rear because the top, doors, and roll bars are removable so it would be hard to get something back there. Best bet would be to add something to the outside of the seat or headrest that may go out the side but even that would be difficult.
When the doors are off and you're driving 60+ on the highway
Goodbye legs and arms
Not if they in the car
People don’t buy jeeps for safety, they buy Jeeps because they want be free... go everywhere without limits! Just like me
We knew that since 1940 🤣
Yeah, if you're going to make a snarky comment, atleast get your facts straight. It was 1941, bud.
Like motorcycles and convertibles, driving a Jeep Wrangler is a calculated risk. I owned a 2013 Jeep Wrangler, and my answer to everyone who asked me "How do you like it?", was always "What the Wrangler is built to do, it does extremely well.". It was never built for a 5 star crash rating, but everyone should already know that.
All that cheap plastic they are putting on them now just popping off and flying everywhere. Overpriced as well, a base 2 door is now 32,000. Smdh
A base 2-door Sport is actually in the $27,000 range. Still expensive, though.
@@benchattin I own one lol.

Still waiting for the unsafe part, I'm seeing 4-5 🌟 rating. But feel free to look up a range rover crash test if you have the stomach for it.
Jim Loucks Every single Land Rover model has a five star rating.
Every single Jeep except this one also has a 5 star rating.
It even looks good crashing.
@X X that makes a lot of sense, thanks for the comment. Didn't even think about the frame on body construction, I wouldnt want to be inside that thing.
@X X making stuff up now. Jeeps are safe. Deal with it. No matter how much you hate them, you can't just pull shit from thin air like ask any Jeep owner that's been able to survive. So 95% or so....yeah ok.
It's a Jeep thing. You wouldn't understand.
Look at the report and the Jeeps gets dinged for not having an automatic braking system and a couple of other automatic safety features (2019 has these features now). So it’s not necessarily the crash test in particular that gives it the low rating. I didn’t get my Jeep for all the cool wiz bang technology, so this test score did not dissuade me from buying one...

No other vehicle can do what a JEEP does - period. JEEPs are amazing vehicles with tremendous capabilities and designed for off road adventures. See you on top of the mountain!

The takeaway here is that extra rigidity may seem worth its weight in gold in an accident, but in reality not as much energy is being absorbed by the crumple zone, leading to much greater potential for injury in many accident scenarios.
I'm not a jeep fanboy, but I don't see a failure. I would consider any test where the occupants would be alive with minimal injury. From the looks of things, a real life scenario occupants would be just fine.
Gotta keep that resell value, chassis doesn’t bend :)
Jeep cab compartment held up great compared to other vehicles. Additionally, the front wheel on the offset front impact did not collapse the front driver or passenger leg area. The front and side air bags seemed extremely effective to reduce the shock to the front passengers. Too bad they could not report pressure on the dummies and provide data that support the rating. I am guessing the rating agency doesn't approve that jeep doesn't incorporate more safety features such as rear air bags and automatic sensors to stop the vehicle and prevent a crash. How much weight did they give to metrics such as the rating agency did not like the steel bumper option to prevent injury to pedestrian. Too bad these agencies don't provide more information on metrics vs. providing a star rating.
The car doesn't bend or crumble whatsoever therefore the energy transferred to the people inside isn't mitigated. This is why when you crash a volvo or toyata at the same speeds the cars are a total wreck but the people inside are fine
But the forces transferred onto the passengers inside were way larger than other vehicles with proper crumple zones, which is why it got 1 star.

I like how the white Jeep Wrangler sounds like a rocket launching and then exploding when it hits the wall. 1 minute and 16 seconds into the video
Looks like it held up incredibly well. No head curtain airbags for the backseat passengers, but aside from that looked solid.
But the forces transferred onto the passengers inside were way larger than other vehicles with proper crumple zones, which is why it got 1 star.
In every motor vehicle collision, there are 3 "crashes" going on: 1-The vehicle vs some type of obstacle. 2-The vehicle occupants vs the vehicle they're in. (You vs the air bags, the dash, steering wheel, door pillar, or your seat belt) and 3-Your insides vs your outsides. (Your internal organs vs your skeletal structure. The more you have #1 absorb, the less you get for #2 and #3. The more you have of #2, the less you had of #1 and the more of #3 you will get. The more #3 you have, the more likely you will be in a coffin and not a wheelchair 3 days later. Cars should crumple up to keep the occupants safe, not look like they sustained no damage after a crash. *drops mic*
i think the scariest part about this test is the bare metal reardoors with no passenger airbag and that the car dosent crumble on a front collosion, makin the passengers absorb all that energy.
I find the safest cars are the ones you don't get into accident in.
Everyone's saying don't buy it, it's not safe, or I'll never buy a jeep now. I only buy jeeps now, me and my wife were sitting on a highway in our wrangler at a stop light, a semi didn't see the red light. He slammed on him brake but still coming in at about 35 rear ended us throwing us into the intersection doing a complete 360. I was able to drive the jeep to the side of the road thinking that the back of the jeep was completely smashed in. To my surprise we did more damage to the semi than the jeep. My dad was able to drive it to the auto body place. I know that these vehicles are safe and that's why I love my jeeps. If you don't want one that's your choice but in my opinion they are very worth it.
I live were Jeep's were invented in the town of it.
To suggest any modern vehicle sold in America is unsafe is ridiculous. Modern American crash test standards are very aggressive. This is why the average car in America costs over 30 grand.

It looks bad here but on the streets, all the cars I've seen that crashes with a jeep ends up totaled and the jeep ends up much less damaged.. so. 🤷🏻♂️
Less damaged vehicle ≠ safer occupants. Pick: Either you survive the crash, OR your vehicle does. I know which I would pick. If you don't understand this, Google car crumple zones and you shall be enlightened. Also wouldn't hurt to take high school physics over again and PAY ATTENTION this time.
@@4WDriver - When hitting a stationary object that can be true. When 2 vehicles collide. Other forces are at work. When the other vehicle crumples. The energy is dissipated that way. When vehicles deflect the others. The energy is lost by sliding tires.
The crash tests that are popular today. Only show part of what happens in the real world. Like when hitting a bridge pillar or wall. What happens when hitting a guard rail or smaller car, is not shown anymore.
Actually the Jeep Wrangler has the best accident avoidance feature of any new car on the market.
The secret is they stay in the mechanic shop broke down so much there's little chance of being in a major collision.
Looks like driver and front passenger would be fine. Rear passengers could use airbags. But other than that it looks like a strong pass. Do not give a chyte if your head hits a bumper and pedestrian dies as that is not purpose of the damn thing.
My real problem with a jeep wrangler is that a properly optioned one is 50k.. For an Italian Chrysler product. LOL
Word a TRD Tacoma is looking like a hell of a bargain in comparison...
Bought mine for 30, no ones fault you "needed" heated leather, sub woofer, tinted windows, hard and premium twill soft top, and a host of other luxuries.
Had three jeeps, stock I never forgot how bad a wreck would be. I armored them all up side steps, heavy as bumpers, winches, 35-37s, roll cages before I even put my kids in. If you buy and build a bad ass take they will be ok stock no thanks,
@Jack Z you paid triple for it so it better, lol not a benz, cedes man had bother nice but for me not needed,
That Freedom Top stayed on in every crash...so why y'all so salty?
To the people saying it doesn’t look bad. That’s the bad part. Cars are supposed to crumple to provide a greater time during deceleration.
Otherwise you get countercoup injury and traumatic dissection of the aortic arch due to immediate deceleration injury
Now take the doors and top off and side impact again. Come on it's a jeep not a subaru!!!!!!!! Chill out people. How many motor cycles do you see going the crash test??? Ok thank you...

@Ptguy0618 Stats.....30K per year.....Dont matter who is riding. The number is low. For 2017.....5286 people were killed on a motorcycle. You are 5 times more likely to die in a car wreck than a motorcycle wreck.

@@iamtheoffenderofall Is that total number per miles driven, per amount of motorcycles registered or what is it EXACTLY??!!

I don’t buy it, my son took my wrangler on a trip to San Diego, CA and fell asleep at the wheel, he veered off the road into a dirt field, he woke up regained control but before he could stop, the front tire hit a boulder going 65 mph causing the car to snap to the right suddenly which then caused him to roll over 3 or 4 times and ended up upside down. His only injury was a scratch on his knee when he crawled out the window, the roll cage which all jeeps have saved his life, the doors help up fine as well. I don’t know many vehicles equipped with roll cages so that’s one huge advantage jeeps do have over other vehicles. My jeep also had 4 point harness seatbelts which held him in better than standard seatbelts, something I think would keep passengers in any vehicle from all that jolting around in any type of collision.
Curious to see who would get the most damage on a head on collision with Audi A4 or a Passat
I used to work for a rental car company that carried Wranglers. . . The ride quality was bad, the acceleration was bad, the braking was bad, there's barely any room for passengers to sit in the back, it felt unstable at highway speeds, and the turning radius was so unbelievably restricted that when we first took delivery, we thought there was something wrong with the vehicle. . .
Regardless, I enjoyed driving the Wrangler. Why? Because it was flashy and fun. That's the main reason people buy them. I don't doubt that they perform very well as off-road vehicles which is what they're supposed to be used for. As a daily driver, the Wrangler is objectively terrible. . . But a lot of people just want a car that makes them feel cool.
Drive the 4 door and come back and comment. Turning circle on the JKU is excellent BTW and with the thick padded seats, very comfortable indeed! @ 285hp it is no slouch so I am having a hard time believing your story.

@@twizz420 The passengers and driver seems fine. The jeep is pretty safe compared to the 2015/2016 mustang and camaro
I think the real life safety tests are very variable and relative. We own jeep wrangler and we unfortunately involved in some major accidents, surprisingly enough after the accident we drove the car home with minor scratches while the other cars were crumbled like coke cans. Jeep wrangler is safe car .
Wranglers are as rugged as the people who drive them and are meant for people who already know how to drive. It's one of the few cars you can buy that still has an option for manual everything--manual transmission, manual window cranks, manual door locks. They do not, and have never, coddled their owners, nor do their owners expect it. If you're an urban dilettante who wants to sip lattes on the way to work, a Wrangler is not for you.
Wranglers are plenty tough. Once a lady came to a dead stop in front of me just as I was completing a lane change. She said she heard a noise coming from the engine, and apparently she forgot that you're supposed to pull over, THEN stop. I received a bent bumper and a tiny ripple in my hood; her Hyundai was crushed to two-thirds its original length. Fortunately she wasn't hurt.
Another time, somebody rear-ended me. He bashed in his grille and impaled his bumper on my recovery hook. All I got was scuffed paint on the recovery hook.
Yes, it's possible to break a Wrangler. Hit anything hard enough and it'll break. Welcome to Physics 101.
Also one of it not the only car where you can get non powered windows. Wranglers truly are something else!
I had an early 90's S10 Blazer that was rear-ended by an early 2000's Accent... Accent was towed off with a wrecked bumped and damaged radiator... I had to polish the chrome on my hitch, barely felt the impact.
@@shadowwolfmandan Yup, that sounds about right. Something similar happened to me-I was rear-ended by a Honda CRV I think, impaled the bumper and cracked the grille in half, scuffed the paint on my recovery hook. The reverse also happened-I rear-ended a 2005 Elantra. The impact was such that the embossed letters on my license plate holder were stamped into the other car, and the trunk was crushed to half its original depth. I bent my bumper-on one side.
I'll take the ladder frame over the stamped-metal origami, thank you.
@X X I'm sensing a lot of butthurt here, dude.
Most crashes are vehicle vs vehicle not re-enforced walls vs vehicle. These tests are not based in reality.
Modular parts disadvantage
Nope, by definition every car is modular. What's your point? If you're about to say body on frame isn't safe I can provide you with plenty of examples. Not to mention this jeep is solid steel and has extremely stout parts. If this were to wreck into most cars, it would easily win and take less damage.
Since some parts of the body are made to be dismantled for example the Roof..Overall rigidity decreases as a result..The roof parts are not made to transfer impact forces..
@@harikrishnasenthilkumar5853 Why did you think they test it with the roof on and the roof off? Same for all convertibles. This has a 5 point ROLL CAGE built in, name another with that rigidity.. Do you know anything about wrangler? You realize that the euro tests are made up of tests that don't really matter which constantly rank American vehicles (which are the safest in the world) low, because we don't design them to meet pointless scoring " milestones" . We don't factor in its "green" capabilities because in a CRASH that doesn't matter, unless you go up in flames like many teslas due to the battery exploding this jeep did acceptable in the only crash rating that actually matters, IIHS .

I saw a sign in the plant with a picture of a rolled over wrangler and a note she sent thanking the manufacturer for her jeep rolling over and saving her life, i say, it wouldnt have had to save her life if it wouldnt have rolled- i too had a similar experience people you will roll if you get t boned at 35 mph, or at least up on 2 wheels like my experience. Its a lifestyle truck and its best for that- mudding lifestyle.

Looks like it can take a hit pretty good.
If that was an older Jeep. You could bolt some new parts on and brush on another coat of house paint.
It might be able to take the hit good. But you won't. It got 1-star for a reason.

Damn thing is built like a tank. Just add more airbags.
