Wrangler’s rough ride

Jeep’s new JL Wrangler has been slapped with a single star safety rating by Euro NCAP. The four-door off-roader scored lowest (32 percent) in safety assist due to a lack of active safety features, but also scored just 50 percent in the adult occupant test, with deformation of both the A-pillar and driver’s footwell. It is unclear if ANCAP will follow Europe’s lead and give the Wrangler a single star locally. Jeep says the JL Wrangler will have AEB as standard in Australia.
