ANCAP: 5-Star Safety For New Cherokee, Rapid, Odyssey, Pathfinder

The latest round of crash-safety testing with the Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP) and partner Euro NCAP has seen top scores handed down to new models in four segments.

Jeep’s all-new Cherokee SUV headlines the news, with the new midsizer landing a 5-Star rating just one week before its Australian market debut.

The result marks the first top score for Jeep under the ANCAP system, with the Grand Cherokee, Compass and Wrangler all wearing 4-Star stickers.

Other star performers include Honda’s big new Odyssey people-mover, the new Nissan Pathfinder large SUV, and Skoda’s small Rapid hatch.
