NHTSA crash test rating of 4 stars for 2019 Jeep Wrangler JLU 4-door!!
Via Road & Track:
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety released two videos on its YouTube channel today showing crash tests performed on the current JL-generation Jeep Wrangler. In the driver-side small overlap test shown above, the SUV rolled over onto its side upon impact, prompting the IIHS to hand it a Marginal overall safety rating.
The IIHS says it conducted two drive-side small overlap crash tests using 2019 model-year Wrangler four-doors, and both yielded unfavorable results. From the Institute's website:
The IIHS also released a video of the JL Wrangler's 31-mph side impact crash test, where it earned a Good overall evaluation:

In both the Institute's tests, the vehicle tipped onto its passenger side after striking the barrier. The partial rollover presents an additional injury risk beyond what the standard criteria are intended to measure in small overlap frontal crash tests. A vehicle tipping onto its side is not an acceptable outcome for a frontal crash and, as a result, the Wrangler's overall rating was downgraded to marginal.
While the 2018-2020 Wrangler scored an overall Marginal rating (one ranking above Poor), it scored well in driver safety measures. The IIHS says the crash test dummy's "survival space" was maintained well, and risk of injuries to to the legs and feet area was low. The testing organization didn't speculate on what caused the rollover, but judging by the video, we suspect the Wrangler's high center of gravity had a hand in the result.
