Comments:

Since August 2003, Cherokee has been equipped with an extensive security belt signaling for the driver. For this, he is supposed to be an extra score that raised a rating of up to four stars. Cherokee was created for the US market, and the thinking of American consumers is different from European thinking. This manifested itself in the presence of a roller to protect his knees of a not fastened driver, as required by the US laws. In general, the car showed itself well and was close to get four stars. However, the driver has been subjected to rather high loads on the chest from the seat belt, which could cause damage. Children's chairs were effective, especially in protecting heads with side strike. However, the protection of pedestrians was weak.

Front punch:

The car body turned out to be strong. The driver's door was not particularly injured, and the foot niche was prevented particularly deformed, although the shift of the clutch and brake pedals threatened the driver's feet. The roller in the knee zone did not provide full protection, leaving the possibility of obtaining a fairly serious injury. The central seat of the seats is equipped with a three-point seat belt, providing better protection compared to the waist.

Security of passenger children:

Both children were located in identical special chairs with ISOFIX locks and upper mounts. With lateral impact, the protection turned out to be very good and the head of both passengers was kept in chairs. However, with a frontal blow, the head of the 3-year-old turned out to be unprotected, and the Neck of the younger risked to get injured. This situation can be corrected by placing the chair of the 18-month passenger "against the direction of movement".

Side strike:

Tested Cherokee for the Dutch market did not have side airbags, but I could have resist the blow. Basically, high SUVs provide protection above average with lateral impact. However, Cherokee was fined for uncharacteristic for real conditions The load distribution between the back of the mannequin and the chair, which reduced the testimony of the sensors in the chest of the mannequin.

Pedestrian safety:

The results were very bad. The manufacturer stated that when creating a car, pedestrian safety was not taken into account. EURO NCAP experts expressed hope that with the following models, the case will be an effective.
