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.

| Driver restraints and dummy kinematics The dummy’s movement was reasonably well controlled. The dummy’s head remained largely in contact with the frontal airbag, but its head still moved toward the intruding A-pillar because the seat belt allowed excessive forward excursion of the dummy's head and torso. The side curtain airbag deployed but does not have sufficient forward coverage to protect the head from contact with forward side structure and outside objects. The side torso airbag deployed. |
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 not maintained well.
During the crash, the seat belt allowed the dummy to move too far forward, as is evident from the gap between the seat back and the dummy's torso. The side curtain airbag did not extend far enough forward toward the A-pillar.
Intrusion of the parking brake pedal, door hinge pillar, and instrument panel contributed to a significant risk of injury to the left lower leg.

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.

| Passenger restraints and dummy kinematics The dummy’s head loaded the frontal airbag, which stayed in front of the dummy until rebound. However, the side curtain airbag did not deploy and the front passenger door opened during the crash, which shouldn't happen because the passenger could be partly or completely ejected from the vehicle. In fact during rebound, the dummy's head moved outside the vehicle, leaving the head vulnerable to contact with side structure and outside objects. |

Action shot taken during the passenger-side small overlap frontal crash test.
The dummy's position in relation to the door frame and dashboard after the crash test indicates that the passenger's survival space was not maintained well.
The side curtain airbag did not deploy, uncommon for 2018 model year and later vehicles, and the dummy's head bottomed out the frontal airbag and hit the dashboard hard.
The passenger door opened during the crash test, and the dummy's head moved outside the vehicle during rebound.
Intrusion of the dashboard and door hinge pillar contributed to a likely risk of injury to the right lower leg.

View of the vehicle after the crash showing the airbags and damage to the occupant compartment.
The rear passenger dummy's head approached the front seatback, which increases the risk of head injuries.
Rear passenger dummy injury values indicate a likely risk of injury to the head or neck and chest.
The rear passenger dummy's lap belt remained in the ideal position on the pelvis.
During rebound the rear passenger dummy's head moved outside of the side curtain airbag. The head protection is inadequate and puts the head at risk of possible contact with outside objects.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee (2-row) was redesigned for the 2022 model year. A fuel leak occurred during the crash test because the underbody adjacent to the fuel tank deformed, causing a sharp sheet metal edge to puncture the fuel tank. Stellantis has identified the issue and implemented structural modifications beginning with 2023 models built after March 2023 (Information about when a specific vehicle was manufactured is on the certification label typically affixed to the car on the driver door or adjacent B-pillar.)

Low beams
On the straightaway, visibility was good on both sides of the road. On curves, visibility was good in all 4 tests.
The low beams created excessive glare.
High beams
On the straightaway, visibility was fair on the right side of the road and inadequate on the left side. On curves, visibility was good on both right curves and fair on both left curves.
High-beam assist compensates for some limitations of this vehicle's low beams on the straightaway and on both left curves.
