NHTSA // CRASH-TESTED
2023 Jeep Wagoneer
Federal crash-test performance, recalls, and complaints, scored into one NHTSA Safety Index.
The Jeep Wagoneer is a full-size, three-row SUV aimed squarely at families and buyers who want serious towing capability alongside premium cabin space. Revived for 2022 after a long hiatus, it competes with the Chevrolet Suburban and Ford Expedition. It targets buyers who need genuine utility without stepping into the Grand Wagoneer's luxury price tier.
The 2023 Jeep Wagoneer earns an NHTSA Safety Index of 81 out of 100, an strong result driven by its federal crash-test stars and its recall record. Both frontal and side crash protection reached the full 5 stars. It has 7 recalls on record, reflected in the score.
- urban drivers exposed to side-impact risk
Reviewers generally regard the Wagoneer as a capable and comfortable full-size SUV that punches above its price point in interior quality and towing credentials. Most praise its refinement and space but tend to flag its fuel consumption and overall size as practical drawbacks for some buyers. It is broadly seen as a competitive, if not class-leading, choice in the segment.
