Since the IIHS released the 25% small overlap crash test project, countless models have failed this rigorous test procedure. However, as more and more automobile companies attach importance to IIHS test procedures, more and more models can pass 25% small overlap collisions in recent years, and the positive role of IIHS in promoting the development of vehicle safety has gradually begun. appear.
A few days ago, the new generation of Jeep Wrangler completed the 25% small overlap crash test. After the test was completed, the new generation of Jeep Wrangler overturned. That’s right, it really flipped over.
Judging from the crash test results released by IIHS, as a new generation of products, the performance of the new generation of Jeep Wrangler in the 25% small overlap surface crash test has been greatly improved compared with the previous generation. The A-pillar does not intrude too much into the interior of the vehicle, providing a large enough protection space for the passengers in the vehicle. At the same time, the safety belt limit mechanism also played a good role, so that the posture of the dummy was maintained during the collision.
If you simply look at the situation after the collision, as a hard-core off-road vehicle with a non-load-bearing body, the new generation of Wrangler has done a good job.
However, in the 25% small overlap surface crash test, the new generation of Jeep Wrangler rolled over after the collision – the natural rotation of the vehicle after the collision caused the Wrangler to roll over. This is the first time in the history of IIHS, which will lead to the emergence of secondary injuries.
At the same time, the detachable roof structure also prevents the new generation of Wrangler from having comprehensive safety air curtain protection. Therefore, in the final 25% small overlap surface crash test, the new generation of Wrangler still only received an M medium evaluation. Compared with its previous generation model, there is not much improvement in terms of evaluation scores.
In addition, the new-generation Jeep Wrangler received excellent ratings in the moderate overlap surface impact, side impact, roof strength, and whiplash tests, while it received a poor rating of P in the headlight test.
