ANALYSISHow safe is the 2025 Jeep Wagoneer L?
The 2025 Jeep Wagoneer L represents a meaningful step forward in the Safety Index record for this nameplate. The score climbed eight points, from 83/100 in the Strong band for the 2024 model year to 91/100 in the Exceptional band for 2025. That jump is driven by a crash-protection sub-score of 62 out of 70 and a perfect 10 out of 10 for avoidance technology, reflecting standard fitment of forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and electronic stability control across the lineup. The defect record sub-score of 19 out of 20 reflects the single recall campaign, which addresses exterior D-pillar trim rather than a powertrain or structural safety system. The rollover rating of 3 stars and a 21 percent rollover risk figure are the clearest caution flags in the crash data, a pattern worth weighing for buyers who prioritize rollover protection in a tall-bodied SUV. The four owner complaints on file are unverified allegations at this stage and span a range of components without clustering around any single systemic concern.
NCAP // CRASH TESTHow did the 2025 Jeep Wagoneer L perform in crash tests?
