For many, safety is the first priority when shopping for a new model. If you're in the market for a protective and practical SUV to drive near Stroudsburg and East Stroudsburg, the Jeep lineup has you covered. For example, the impressive Jeep Renegade safety ratings make it a great option for daily commuting, road-tripping, or hauling around the family.

At Ray Price Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, we often receive questions about the safety ratings and features of models like the Renegade. So, to keep drivers around Mount Pocono, Tobyhanna, and Scranton informed, we created reviews and resources like this one!

Jeep Renegade NHTSA Safety Rating

There are two primary sources we'll consider when looking at the safety rating of the Jeep Renegade-the NHTSA and the IIHS. The NHTSA, which stands for National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, exposes models like the Renegade to rigorous testing to see how it does. Each test is designed to mimic collisions you might experience in everyday driving.

A 5-Star Safety Rating is the highest grade offered by NHTSA. For 2020, the Jeep Renegade scored a perfect five stars in the SUV category. So, according to the NHTSA, the Renegade is as safe a model as you could find relative to its automotive segment.

Jeep Renegade IIHS Safety Rating

The other primary source when looking at automotive safety is the IIHS or Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. IIHS places the Renegade in a similar category as that of the NHTSA, a small SUV/4-door SUV.

The grading system for the IIHS ranges from Poor, to Marginal, Acceptable, and Good. If a model shows an exemplary safety acumen across various tests, it will receive recognition, like the 2020 Jeep Renegade did when it was awarded the title of 2019 TOP SAFETY PICK.

You can break down the Jeep Renegade category by category and you'll see a whole lot of "Good" ratings. The small overlap front on the driver side, the roof strength, and the structure and safety cage ratings all checked in as Good.

It's clear that Jeep has placed safety as one of the pillars of the Renegade.

2021 Jeep Renegade Safety Features

Along with its rigid and durable frame, the 2021 Jeep Renegade benefits from its immense safety and driver-assistance features.

Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking is a perfect example of Jeep looking out for you and your family. If a front-facing collision seems likely, the Renegade will automatically brake to try and avoid the collision.
