Realistically today, among the affordable segment's cars, I'll be very happy with a 4-star model. We're still a little away from 5-star status due to manufacturer lethargy, costs, lack of public awareness and no government regulations. | |

| ![]() City and Jazz+WRV should also be 5 star rated cars IMO. Last edited by S.MJet : 9th February 2018 at 11:21. |

But, my guess is that a 5-star adult occupant rating and 4-star child occupant rating as required for the award will not be possible without side curtain airbags. If so, only one variant of Jeep could achieve the rating. I am not sure if Global NCAP will give the award based on the tests on the lowest variant. If so, for now, I think it's advantage CBUs. Edit: Kodiaq comes to mind as it has only one fully-loaded variant. Last edited by StarrySky : 13th February 2018 at 16:03. | |
