Default Re: Jeep Gladiator - 2020

It would want to do better than the Wrangler it's based on. Especially considering most of it's competitors are 5 star.

One-star safety rating awarded to new Jeep Wrangler in latest Euro NCAP tests


By RON HAMMERTON


EUROPE’S independent New Car Assessment Program (Euro NCAP) has awarded Jeep’s new fourth-generation Wrangler a lowly one-star safety rating, saying it lags far behind its competitors on safety.

In its comments on the adult protection crash testing, Euro NCAP’s engineers criticised the structural integrity of the Wrangler, describing the bodyshell as unstable.

They said the join between the A-pillar and trans-fascia beam had been damaged in such a way that indicated it would not be able to withstand higher loads. The footwell, it said, had “reached the limits of its structural integrity”.

In the offset test, driver chest protection was rated as weak, while leg protection was marginal.

In the full-width crash test, the rear passenger protection was rated as poor – the lowest rating – while driver chest protection was marginal.
