It’s hard to explain to people who don’t like cars, but there’s something about the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Youtube Channel that’s addiction. You can watch big, expensive things get destroyedand no one was injured in the process. Then you can see another one. And another one. And then, unfortunately, it was 2 a.m. on a school evening. Oh good. It’s still a fun way to waste your time.
However, while we know which videos we personally watched and liked, have you ever wondered what? is different everyone entered? The IIHS recently released a video showing the top 5 most popular videos on their channel in 2022 after people watched more than 207,800 hours of crash test footage over the past year. This, again, gives us an excuse to watch another video of cars being destroyed for the sake of science.
As you can guess from the preview below, the Jeep Wrangler made the list (in fifth place). Specifically, it is the IIHS driver-side small-angle crash test for Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 2022. And things did not go well. Turns out, the updates Jeep made since the 2019 model was tested weren’t enough, and the Wrangler rolled to the passenger side after hitting a barrier at 40 mph, which seems bad. .
However, it protected the collision dummy well enough to get a Marginal rating, so at least there’s that. But if you are a Wrangler owner, please know that official Jalopnik It is recommended that you always wear your seat belt while behind the wheel. We care about you and the clicks you give us and we want you to keep clicking for years to come.
As far as the rest of the list goes, you’ll just need to watch the video.
