Grand Cherokee earns five-star overall safety rating

For the fourth consecutive year, Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4 has earned a five-star overall safety rating from the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the vehicle-evaluation program’s highest single rating.

2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4’s five-star rating reflects performance in NHTSA tests that simulate frontal collision with another vehicle, side impact with another vehicle, and side impact with a pole. Grand Cherokee 4x4 earned the highest possible rating in each test. 

Grand Cherokee comes with more than 70 available safety and security features. Among its standard-equipment items are:

While restraint systems are critical to the Company’s safety strategy, crash-avoidance technology is also a high priority. Available on 2017 Grand Cherokee is an Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) system called Full-speed Forward Collision Warning with Crash Mitigation. 

The system features sensor-fusion technology, which leverages the combined benefits of cameras and radar. The technology affords greater object-detection precision because camera and radar must agree before Full-speed Forward Collision Warning with Crash Mitigation will deploy. 

If camera and radar agree that a frontal impact with another vehicle appears imminent, the system pre-fills the Grand Cherokee’s brakes and transmits audible and visual warnings urging the driver to react. If there is no driver response, the system triggers a brief brake application as a tactile alert. 

If the driver remains unresponsive and frontal collision risk remains, the Grand Cherokee’s brakes are applied to slow the vehicle before impact. The system may bring the vehicle to full stop if an imminent frontal collision is detected at speeds below 25 mph. 

Sensor-fusion technology was once reserved for luxury-segment vehicles. Today, FCA US makes it available across six vehicle segments, from small SUV to minivan. 

NHTSA acknowledges AEB as a preferred technology, though its benefits are not factored into the agency’s ratings. 

The Jeep vehicle lineup consists of the Cherokee, Compass, Grand Cherokee, Patriot, Renegade, Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited.
