It competes on its own terms more than against traditional family SUVs, but shoppers still need a clear-eyed look at its safety record before signing.
The 2022 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited earns an NHTSA Safety Index of 68 out of 100, a below average result driven by its federal crash-test stars and its recall record. No vehicle recalls are on file for this model year.
