31 years since its departure from the market, the Wagoneer made its triumphant return in 2023. This year, things have only gotten better. The 2024 Wagoneer shines where other SUVs fall short, receiving a 2024 Top Safety Pick from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Here are five of the top safety features that put the Wagoneer at the front of the pack.
High Crash Test Performance
Crash tests give strong indications of the survivability of collisions, with vehicles given final ratings depending on several factors. In the small overlap test, the Wagoneer collided with a barrier at 40mph. The Wagoneer received top marks, with front and side airbags performing strongly to protect the driver from injury.
Similarly, in a side crash test, the Wagoneer performed excellently. The side airbags deployed quickly and efficiently, protecting both the driver and the passenger from head damage. Enjoy a luxurious ride in the Wagoneer, with the knowledge that you’re safe in the event of a collision.
Automatic Crash Prevention
Sensors at the front of the Wagoneer can detect pedestrians, cyclists, and other vehicles. You’ll get an alert if you get too close, and the brakes can be automatically applied if necessary to avoid a collision.
In IIHS tests, this prevention system consistently avoided crashes or significantly decreased the impact speed. No need to worry about somebody running out in front of you, or a bicycle appearing out of nowhere. The Wagoneer has got you covered.
Blind Spot Detection
In addition to the front sensors, the Wagoneer can detect movement in your blind spot, adding an extra layer of safety to your ride. Sensors in the back will ensure that when reversing, you’ll be warned if any other cars start moving into your path.
Driver Awareness Monitoring
An algorithm monitors the driver’s behavior and steering wheel movements. If you start to feel a bit drowsy, the Wagoneer will pick up on it. You’ll get alerts to keep you aware and give you a chance to find a rest spot. Load up on coffee and get back on the road, safe in the knowledge that the Wagoneer has got your back.
Lane Management
With smart technology recognizing lane boundaries, the Wagoneer will pick up any drifting out of your lane. If this happens, the Wagoneer will gently provide feedback to bring you safely back to the center.
These safety features combine to bring an extra element of safety to your life. With the Wagoneer, luxury doesn’t mean you have to compromise. Enjoy your luxurious ride, enhanced with some of the best safety features that you can find in an SUV.
