The Safety Features of the 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Jeep has built a reputation for building rugged vehicles that can take you on your next adventure. With their available four-wheel drive systems and solid structure, Jeeps will let you get a little more out of life. This is certainly the case with the Jeep Grand Cherokee, a midsize SUV that is the toughest kid on the block. Whether you choose a two-row model or a three-row Grand Cherokee L, you are going to get an unmatched ability to go places other vehicles won’t dare tread. But there is one thing you may not be aware of, and that is how your 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee is also one of the safest midsize SUVs available today.

Safety is always a concern for drivers. This is the case regardless of whether you are using your Grand Cherokee to get to work, drive your kids around town, or test its capabilities off-road. Fortunately, Jeep’s engineers have kept safety at the top of their minds, offering standard and available active and passive safety features that will protect you as you enjoy your Grand Cherokee. This is why we are proud to offer the 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee at Zimmer Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram. We are an authorized Jeep dealer, so we host the full lineup of Jeep models, ensuring you can take home the one you’ll love best.

Top Scores for Safety Ratings

Each year, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) perform a series of tests on most passenger vehicles in America. Both involve crash testing and other methods to determine which models provide the best safety to drivers and passengers.

Since the NHTSA is a government agency under the Department of Transportation and the IIHS is an independent group set up by the automotive insurance companies, all of these tests and reviews are objective. The two groups then publish their findings, with the NHTSA using a five-star rating system, while the IIHS lists the Top Safety Picks for each vehicle class.

The 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee got five stars from the NHTSA, and the 2024 model was named a Top Safety Pick from the IIHS in the midsize SUV category. The NHTSA review included five stars for overall frontal safety and side-impact collisions. These awards apply to the various forms of the Grand Cherokee, including the Grand Cherokee L and 4xe, so you will be safe and secure in whichever model you choose.

Standard Passive Safety Features

Passenger safety begins with a structurally sound vehicle whose passive safety features will shield you and your loved ones in the event of an accident. Every 2025 Grand Cherokee has side impact beams in the doors, which can often be the most vulnerable part of a vehicle in a t-bone accident. If your Grand Cherokee is struck in the side, the beams will take the brunt of the impact, protecting whoever is on the side where the collision occurred.

Jeep has also placed airbags throughout the cabin to provide additional passenger protection. The driver and front seat passenger have front-impact airbags designed to deploy when the Grand Cherokee is involved in a front-end collision; these are both seat-mounted. There are also overhead curtain airbags that will deploy in a side impact crash, shielding all of the passengers from the side, regardless of whether you have a two-row or three-row Grand Cherokee; these airbags will provide the level of protection you need if you are involved in a collision.

Drivers with small children are sure to appreciate the rear child safety locks. These are used manually and will prevent your young child from accidentally opening the door while the vehicle is in motion. This will let you worry about your driving instead of worrying about your youngster getting into mischief in the back seat.

Standard Active Safety Features

Jeep has equipped the Grand Cherokee with one of the most comprehensive arrays of active safety features on any model in its class. In fact, the 2025 Grand Cherokee has the highest number of standard driver assistance features of any midsize SUV; these will help you avoid a collision or reduce damage if an accident is unavoidable.

If you are driving too close to the vehicle in front of you, the Full Speed Forward Collision Warning will sound an alert that also appears on your dashboard; this will allow you to take evasive action, such as changing lanes on the highway or slowing down. If the system senses that a collision is imminent, it will activate the Active Braking feature, which will either bring your Grand Cherokee to a stop or reduce the impact of an unavoidable collision. This feature even works at slower speeds with Pedestrian/Cyclist Detections; if the system detects someone in your path, it will use the automatic brakes to avoid striking them.

One of the most common causes of highway accidents is distracted driving; a momentary lapse of concentration can trigger a series of events that lead to a collision as a vehicle drifts out of the lane. To avoid this, the Grand Cherokee features Active Lane Mitigation; if you begin to drift out of your lane, the system will alert you while using slight steering adjustments to get you back on the straight and narrow.

The standard Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path Detection features work similarly. When you signal to change lanes, the system will use radar-equipped sensors to detect if any vehicles are traveling in your Grand Cherokee’s blind spot; once you’re clear, you can safely change lanes. It will also check when you back out of a parking spot; when you put the Grand Cherokee in reverse, the system will alert you if a vehicle or pedestrian is about to cross behind you so that you can avoid an accident. This helps supplement the ParkView Rear Back Up Camera that comes standard on all 2025 Grand Cherokees.

Many drivers may be concerned about parallel parking a large vehicle like a Jeep Grand Cherokee. This is especially true for motorists who have opted for the Grand Cherokee L. Fortunately, each model has ParkSense Rear Park Assist; this will help guide you into a spot without striking the curb or, worse, denting the vehicle in the back of you.

Commuters who drive a 2025 Grand Cherokee are sure to appreciate Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go. When you are driving on the highway, simply set a speed and let the system take over. If the system detects slower traffic ahead, it will automatically adjust your driving speed so you can maintain a safe distance behind the vehicle in front of you. When traffic clears, the Adaptive Cruise Control will return you to your pre-selected speed. Its Stop and Go feature works when you are in a traffic jam, braking and accelerating to match the vehicle in front of you.

Available Active Safety Features

The folks at Jeep also offer a number of available safety features that will enhance your experience in a 2025 Grand Cherokee. Hands-Free Active Driving Assist uses a set of sensors and the Adaptive Cruise Control system to safely pilot your vehicle without your hands needing to be on the steering wheel! This feature will help reduce driver fatigue, especially on long trips.

While every Grand Cherokee has a ParkView Rear Back Up Camera, some trim levels, like the Summit, come with a 360-degree Surround View Camera; this increases the range of the camera view on the back of your Grand Cherokee. If you choose a trim level below the Summit, you still should be able to add this as an additional feature for your Jeep.

The 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee also offers a Night Vision Camera, which uses infrared sensors to scan the road ahead, giving you a visual display on the driver’s side dashboard. This lets you see things that you may not be able to pick up with your high beams alone, especially in areas with poor lighting at night.
