Small overlap front: passenger-side

Rating applies to 2019-23 models

Tested vehicle: 2019 Jeep Renegade Latitude 4-door 4wd

The Jeep Renegade was introduced in the 2015 model year. Beginning with the 2019 model year, the front-end structure, front door hinge pillars, and front door sills were reinforced to improve occupant protection in small overlap and moderate overlap frontal crashes.

Passenger-side small overlap frontal ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test conducted by Fiat Chrysler.

The dummy’s head contacted the right side of the frontal airbag but began to slide to the right into the gap between the frontal and side curtain airbags, leaving the head vulnerable to contact with forward structure. The side curtain airbag deployed and has sufficient forward coverage to protect the head from contact with side structure and outside objects. The side torso airbag also deployed.

On the straightaway, visibility was good on the left side of the road and inadequate on the right side. On curves, visibility was good on both right curves, fair on the sharp left curve and inadequate on the gradual left curve.

The low beams never exceeded glare limits.

High beams
On the straightaway, visibility was good 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, on both left curves and on the gradual right curve.
