The Jeep Wrangler is one of the pillars holding up the Stellantis portfolio at the moment. A strong sales bonanza every year since launch, Americans have shown a willingness to sacrifice certain comforts to get a slice of the Wrangler life. Namely, fuel efficiency, on-road dynamics, and sometimes, safety. But to Jeep’s credit, one of the IIHS’s biggest concerns regarding the Wrangler appears to be on the mend.

 

With a focus brought on four-door Jeep Wranglers built over the last few years, the Achilles heel of the Wrangler platform has been the driver-side small overlap crash test. In these tests, the IIHS found the top-heavy Wrangler tended to tip onto its passenger side when it enters a front-on collision at a glancing blow.
