2018 Jeep Wrangler - 1 Star Euro NCAP rating.

Time to trot out this old favourite methinks...

Mercedes Benz G Class Crash Test Built unlike any other 2002 - YouTube

It would be fascinating to see an actual Defender crash test though.

Interestingly, I was doing some Google Earth touring and found this out the back of the Magna Steyr plant in Graz where the G-Wagen is built. Lots of current models seemingly crash tested. There is as yet only one dodgy cut down clip of the new 2019 G-Wagen being crash tested but no results published that I can find.

There's always this:

Its s Jeep thing...

Like fire


I have seen actual crashes involving Deefer (RRC, d2) and its usually the other vehicle that provides the Land Rover occupants with the required deceleration...sad for other vehicle occupants but good for LR occupants. The real problem is when LR meets tree, truck etc.

Here's a good safety tip:
Don't drive into things.
Just a thought?

I agree.
If you run into a truck or a tree with ANY car the outcome is Never any good regardless of the ANCAP rating.[thumbsupbig]

Doesnt help with crap drivers running into you though! That's when I like a strong vehicle.

I would hate to be on the receiving end of my D2a with an ARB bullbar and winch up the front end of it[bigwhistle]

For sure! The D2 is a lot stronger than the D1 too.

As mentioned, I’m more worried about being hit, than hitting something. I have near misses quite often.

SWMBO has been in 2 serious accidents while stationary - once sitting at a red light, the other, while giving way at a give way sign - the second time her car was shunted into the path of an oncoming truck by a courier on the phone - there’s ****tards everywhere....

I did a service on the D2a and the 79 series when I was up at King Ash Bay and in all seriousness the Chassis of the D2a looked to be more robust than the Toyota did.
I know that the Monique body/chassis are more crash "Friendly" But a truck with a proper chassis will most likely survive to live another day after a prang.
