    2018 Jeep Wrangler - 1 Star Euro NCAP rating.

    What will be the 2019 Wrangler here in Australia failed dismally rating just 1 star when tested by Euro NCAP. An accident that would see you walk away in a 5 star vehicle could likely cause you serious injury or death in this vehicle.

    Official Jeep Wrangler safety rating

    Even better was the BS that Jeep were spinning about this.

    Well at least it did better than the new Fiat Panda... 😆. Zero stars - my 101 would have matched that. 👍

    It would need to be under $10k for me to even look sideways at one.

    If it's a new model with airbags surely they design it to get a half-decent crash rating.

    For $20k I'd rather buy a D3 every time. Some quite tasty ones on carsales.com for that money.

    It’s not the airbags that are at fault - the main reason it scored so low is the actual passenger cell comes apart in a crash - this showed up in the 50KPH frontal impact test and the 64KPH frontal offset test.

    Rock crawling wise, wrangler still the best cost-effective vehicle

    Stock Rubicon has twin lockers with plenty flex.....Don't really care the safety rating. I sometimes drive my defender

    I drive a Defender, so I'm not in a position to criticise the Wrangler.
