ANALYSISHow safe is the 2025 Jeep Wrangler 4-Door?
The 2025 Jeep Wrangler 4-Door represents a measurable safety improvement over its immediate predecessor. The NHTSA Safety Index climbed from 68/100 in the 2024 model year to 72/100 in 2025, crossing from the Below Average band into Average territory. The gain is driven primarily by the crash-protection sub-score of 49.8 out of 70 and a defect-record sub-score of 17.5 out of 20, the latter benefiting from the absence of any recall campaigns this model year. The avoidance-tech sub-score of 4.5 out of 10 remains a drag, reflecting that forward collision warning is only optional and lane departure warning is not available at all, while electronic stability control is standard. The rollover picture is unchanged from prior years: a 3-star rating and a 27-percent rollover risk are inherent to this body-on-frame, high-center-of-gravity platform, and buyers should treat that figure seriously. The frontal 4-star result is a genuine strength. The 55 unverified owner complaints, concentrated in electrical and engine categories, are worth monitoring as the vehicle ages into the used market.
