Action shot taken during the driver-side small overlap frontal crash test.
The dummy's position in relation to the door frame, steering wheel, and instrument panel after the crash test indicates that the driver's survival space was maintained very well.
The frontal and side curtain airbags worked well together to keep the head from coming close to any stiff structure or outside objects that could cause injury.
The driver's space was maintained well, and risk of injuries to the dummy's legs and feet was low.

Small overlap front: passenger-side
Rating applies to 2022-25 models
Tested vehicle: 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Limited 4-door 4wd
The Jeep Grand Cherokee L, a 3-row version of the Grand Cherokee, was introduced in the 2021 model year and the 2-row Jeep Grand Cherokee was redesigned for the 2022 model year. Beginning with 2022 models, modifications were made to the front passenger-side carpet pad to improve occupant safety in passenger-side small overlap crashes. Passenger-side small overlap frontal ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test of a 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L conducted by Stellantis.

View of the vehicle after the crash showing the airbags and damage to the occupant compartment.
The rear passenger dummy's head approached the front seatback, which increases the risk of head injuries.
Rear passenger dummy injury values indicate a likely risk of injury to the head or neck and chest. During the crash, the shoulder belt remained in an ideal position on the dummy’s chest.
The rear passenger dummy's lap belt remained in the ideal position on the pelvis.

Overall rating | |
| Distance at which headlights provide at least 5 lux illumination: | |
Low beams
On the straightaway, visibility was good on both sides of the road. On curves, visibility was good in all 4 tests.
The low beams created excessive glare.
High beams
On the straightaway, visibility was fair on the right side of the road and inadequate on the left side. On curves, visibility was good on both right curves and fair on both left curves.
High-beam assist compensates for some limitations of this vehicle's low beams on the straightaway and on both left curves.
