Small overlap front: driver-side
Rating applies to 2020-23 models built after September 2019
Tested vehicle: 2020 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.
Beginning with 2020 models built after September 2019, an additional modification was made to the front-end structure to further improve occupant protection in driver-side small overlap crashes.

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.

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. | |

View of the vehicle after the crash showing the airbags and damage to the occupant compartment.

The rear passenger dummy's head remained a safe distance from the front seatback.

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.

During rebound, the rear passenger dummy's head moved outside of the side curtain airbag and hit the C-pillar hard. The head protection is inadequate and puts the head at risk of possible contact with outside objects.

Tested vehicle: 2019 Jeep Renegade Latitude 4-door 4wd
The Jeep Renegade was introduced in the 2015 model year. Two side impact tests of the Renegade were conducted, the first by the Institute of a 2015 model and the second by Fiat Chrysler of a 2019 model. Side ratings are based on both tests.

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.
