How The 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee Family Earned IIHS TSP+ Ratings

To qualify for the 2023 Top Safety Pick + award, a car must earn “Good” ratings in IIHS’s driver-side small overlap front, passenger-side small overlap front, updated side and original moderate overlap front tests. Acceptable or good headlights must be standard across all trims, and a front crash prevention system that earns “Advanced” or “Superior” ratings in the daytime and nighttime vehicle-to-pedestrian tests must be available.

Both SUVs meet those requirements. Each comes with a standard front crash prevention system that earns an advanced rating in the daytime pedestrian evaluation and a superior rating in the nighttime test, as well as acceptable or good headlights across all trims.

According to Autoblog, due to the changes in headlights, the Top Safety Pick + rating applies only to Grand Cherokee models built after March of this year, and the Grand Cherokee L models built after May.

“Prior to those changes, Jeep also adjusted the aim of the headlights offered on al trims in January,” IIHS said in its announcement. “Following the adjustment, the LED reflectors supplied with the Limited, Overland, Summit, and Summit Reserve trims earn a good rating, while those on the Laredo and Altitude trims are rated acceptable.”

The 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L’s attainment of the IIHS Top Safety Pick + award reflects a remarkable feat of engineering and innovation. From its robust crashworthiness to its advanced driver assistance systems and exceptional headlight performance, both SUVs bring out Jeep’s commitment to passenger safety.
