ANALYSISHow safe is the 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe?
The 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe represents a meaningful step forward from its immediate predecessor. The NHTSA Safety Index climbed from 91/100 in the 2024 model year to 94/100 here, a three-point gain that kept the vehicle firmly in the Exceptional band but moved it closer to the top of that tier. The improvement is anchored in crash protection, which scores 66 out of a possible 70 points, reflecting the five-star overall NHTSA result. Avoidance technology contributes a perfect 10/10, driven by forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and electronic stability control all being standard equipment rather than optional add-ons. The defect record component lands at 18/20, consistent with a single recall campaign tied to the PHEV powertrain shared across a defined range of 4xe models. That recall is notable because it targets the plug-in hybrid engine system specifically, a distinction relevant to buyers choosing this electrified variant over the conventional Grand Cherokee. The complaint volume of two reported incidents is very low for a model year, though one allegation involves a fire concern that prospective owners should monitor. Taken together, the 2025 data profile shows a vehicle that improved on an already strong prior-year safety foundation.
