All-new 2014 Jeep Cherokee named IIHS Top Safety Pick

The Insurance Institute of Highway Safety named the all-new 2014 Jeep Cherokee a 2013 Top Safety Pick.

The ground-breaking SUV was one of two Chrysler Group vehicles to earn the designation during the latest round of IIHS evaluations. In the last 10 months, a total
of 14 Chrysler Group vehicles have been so commended.

Top Safety Pick testing simulates a side impact with a large SUV or pickup truck, front moderate overlap impact, roof-crush consistent with a rollover, and a rear collision capable of inducing whiplash. In each of these, the all-new Jeep Cherokee recorded the highest-possible rating of 'good'.

"The all-new 2014 Jeep Cherokee represents the pinnacle of innovation in the mid-size SUV segment," said Mike Manley, Jeep President and Chief Executive Officer. "In addition to the breakthrough efficiency of its unique 4x4 system and the milestone introduction its 9-speed automatic transmission - a world-first - the Cherokee features a host of technologies that combine to deliver outstanding occupant protection. That kind of robust performance delivers on the promise of the Jeep brand."
