WASHINGTON — The new 2014 Jeep Cherokee SUV has earned a four-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The Cherokee received four stars in the front crash test, five stars in the side crash test and four stars in the rollover crash test.

Five stars is the highest rating.

The rating applies to two-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive versions of the Cherokee.

The 2014 Jeep Cherokee was named a 2013 Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

Top Safety Pick testing simulates a side impact with a large SUV or pickup truck, front moderate overlap impact, roof-crush consistent with a rollover, and a rear collision capable of inducing whiplash. In each of these, the all-new Jeep Cherokee recorded the highest-possible rating of “good.”

Safety features on the Cherokee include 10 standards airbags, including a driver’s knee airbag.

The Cherokee replaced the Jeep Liberty in the Jeep lineup. Cherokee competitors include the Ford Escape, Honda CR-V and Mitsubishi Outlander, among others.

Ram 1500 nails ‘Truck of the Year’ for second straight year

Ram 1500 nails ‘Truck of the Year’ for second straight year

Motor Trend magazine has selected the Ram 1500 as its 2014 Truck of the Year for an unprecedented second straight year. The announcement was made at the Warren (Mich.) Truck Assembly Plant—the birthplace of Ram Trucks.

Nine Truck of the Year contenders were put through an extensive battery of testing designed to evaluate virtually every aspect of each vehicle. To determine which truck deserved top honors, the Motor Trend judges took the nine contenders to the Continental Tire Automotive Proving Grounds in Uvalde, Texas.

Following the team’s intensive, week long evaluation in Uvalde, the trucks were shipped to Motor Trend headquarters in El Segundo, Calif., to undergo proprietary “Intellichoice Real MPG” fuel-economy testing. The winner was not chosen from a direct comparison against the other contenders, but rather as a result of how each contender measured up against the award’s six criteria: design advancement, engineering excellence, efficiency, safety, value, and performance of intended function.
