AEB is being used to bump up the Ncap rating.........they didnt even bother with the 32kmh side crash pole test because its such a deathtrap.
Its structural performance in crashing is 50%.......you wouldnt put roadkill in a wrangler....
Of course, the NCAP testing isn’t biased towards European cars ... and I’ve seen the footage.
I know several Jeepers who have survived major collisions because Jeep hasn’t followed the sheep and made vehicles softer. I was always concerned about my vehicle’s reliability on outback trips but never about survivability in the event that things went ask up.
