Commenting about the Wrangler’s test result, Michiel Van Ratingen, the Secretary-General of Euro NCAP said,

"It is truly disappointing to see a brand-new car being put on sale in 2018 with no autonomous braking system and no lane assistance. It is high time we saw a product from the FIAT-Chrysler group offering safety to rival its competitors."
