The 2022 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited RHD registers a NHTSA Safety Index of 61 out of 100, placing it in the Below Average band. This assessment is significantly impacted by a lack of comprehensive crash-test data; NHTSA did not publish NCAP ratings for frontal or side protection for this specific model year. This absence leaves key questions unanswered regarding the vehicle's occupant protection capabilities.
The 2022 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited RHD received a 3-out-of-5-star rollover rating and a NHTSA Safety Index of 61/100 based on NHTSA crash-test, recall, and complaint data.

ANALYSISHow safe is the 2022 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rhd?
The 2022 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited RHD registers a Safety Index of 61/100, a score unchanged from its 2021 counterpart. This flat trajectory points to a lack of meaningful improvement in the underlying safety metrics. The most significant factor in this index is the crash protection subscore of 42 out of 70. This subscore is largely influenced by the absence of frontal or side crash tests conducted by NHTSA on this right-hand-drive variant. Consequently, the 3-star rollover rating carries disproportionate weight. For avoidance technology, the vehicle scores 4.5 out of 10. This reflects the optional status of forward collision warning and the complete omission of lane departure warning. While electronic stability control is standard, its presence does not fully compensate for the absence of other active-safety features. The defect record subscore, 14 out of 20, benefits from zero recalls for the 2022 model year. However, the volume of 367 owner complaints, which include unverified reports of 11 fires and 13 crashes, indicates a pattern of reported concerns that warrants attention. The specialized nature of this right-hand-drive variant, coupled with the incomplete NCAP testing, is a critical data point for consumers prioritizing safety.
NCAP // CRASH TESTHow did the 2022 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rhd perform in crash tests?
The 2022 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited RHD presents an incomplete federal safety profile, as NHTSA did not assign overall, frontal, or side crash-test star ratings. Consequently, these critical dimensions of crash protection cannot be assessed through federal data. The sole rated area, rollover resistance, earned 3 out of 5 stars, with a 27 percent rollover risk. The dynamic tip-test result for this model was No Tip.
