As the weather gets colder and the winter weather sets in, your focus really begins to turn to the safety of your vehicle like it never has before. At our Jeep dealer near Fort Wayne, we take safety as seriously as you do, which is why we highly recommend the 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4 and its recent five star safety rating from the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)!
Where Superior Safety is Standard
The Jeep brand is reputed for its capability and off-road readiness. Part of that is accounting for your safety. This is the fourth year in a row that the Jeep Grand Cherokee has merited this distinction, earning five-star ratings in frontal barrier, side barrier, and side pole crash tests. That's a top rating in every category!
This 2017 Jeep model offers a range of standard and available safety features that will give Fort Wayne area drivers peace of mind. The NHTSA found that, when equipped with the optional 4x4 systems, this model was at its safest. However, all Jeep models come standard with advanced multistage driver and front-passenger air bags, side-curtain air bags, front-seat side air bags, and a driver-side inflatable knee bolster, among others.
State-Of-The-Art Safety
Though it was not factored into the NHTSA rating, the organization did applaud Jeep for its revolutionary Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) system. Full-speed Forward Collision Warning with Crash Mitigation uses input from cameras and radar positioned on the vehicle for object detection and subsequent analysis of the possibility of a frontal impact. Both the cameras and the radar must agree that the collision is imminent, and then the vehicle will prepare to deploy the crash mitigation system by pre-filling the brakes and issuing audible and visual warnings.
Through their dedication to safety, Jeep has made the 2017 Grand Cherokee an even better drive, and the NHTSA agrees! Visit Tom Ahl Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM Fiat today for a test drive!
