2021 Jeep Cherokee Safety Rating

These days, safety counts in vehicles more than ever. It's almost expected for vehicles to offer a complete suite of driver aids right out of the gate at the base trim level these days, especially if they want to stay competitive.

The Jeep Cherokee is no different, and this vehicle gets high marks for safety all around. If you're ready to get out on the roads of New Holland, Reading, or the greater Lancaster, PA, area, you deserve to be safe, so New Holland Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram offers this look at the Jeep Cherokee safety rating.

Jeep Cherokee Base Level Safety Technology

As expected, the Cherokee gives you many accepted features, plus some additional, right at the base Latitude trim. This includes automatic windshield wipers that sense rain, cross-traffic alert and blind-spot monitoring that watches out for objects and vehicles crossing where you can't see, front collision mitigation that sounds a warning in the event of an imminent crash, and automatically brakes for you, and lane-keeping assist functions that steer you back into your lane if you start to drift.

Higher Level Technology

The Cherokee has a lot of trim levels, and additional safety features are continuously added as you step up. These include rear automatic braking to protect you from crashes as you back up, adaptive cruise control to make sure you stay far enough behind the car in front of you to be safe, and others.

Other Safety Features

The Cherokee also has all the expected passive and expected safety features like child safety locks in the back, airbags throughout the cabin, four-wheel anti-lock brakes for better control in difficult terrain, traction control that allows your wheel torque to adjust to where it's most needed, automatic headlights, and ventilated brakes to keep you from slipping because your brakes overheat.

Jeep Cherokee Safety Rating – IIHS

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gives the Cherokee top marks for safety. This includes the best "Good" rating it offers for all crash tests, including small overlap driver and passenger side, moderate overlap front crash, side crash, roof strength, and head restraints and seats. It got the top "Superior" mark for its automatic emergency braking and a top Good-plus rating for the ease of use of its LATCH child seat anchors.

Cherokee Safety Scores – NHTSA

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration also gave top marks to the Cherokee. It scored four stars on each of its frontal crash and rollover scores, and a top five-star rating for side-impact tests. It gained an 4-Star Overall Safety Rating from the NHTSA. Taken together, between the two major safety institutes, this means that the Jeep Cherokee is an exceptionally safe vehicle that will keep you secure as you travel life's highway.
