Well, when I see that the Wrangler only had 50% in the Driver/Adult Occupant category it makes me a little bit afraid.
Euro NCAP safety rating of the Jeep Wrangler: detailed results, crash test pictures, videos and comments from experts

I think that Ineos Automotive should make Global/Euro NCAP test the Grenadier.
Look at how the test is executed.
This means a collision object of similar size.
This is the theory- based on that typically normal cars are widespread and vehicles of this site are likely to crash in a vehicle of similar size.
Wranglers, G - Class and other of this size however are less common, and the likelyhood to crash in a vehicle of same size is so of course less common and so rather unlikely.
If you get it bigger - Crash in a cargo van 3-5 ton (Like the Mercedes "Sprinter", A Fiat Ducato or alike) is an entirely different topic, a 40 ton European HGV truck or US type Cargo Machine like a big FreightLiner is an entirely different topic - and anyway no match - and very likely ends in the coffin.
So a whatsoever "crash test" should consider the aspect of what are you dealing with.
What I dislike is the aspect of "vulnerable" road users. Its a point of view - I am vulnerable considering a collision with a HGV type vehicle.
At the end participating on traffic on public roads is always a risk.
What I dislike e.g. in Germany - a car driver is always liable to a vulnerable traffic participant (pedestrian / cyclist) even if the cardriver did not do anything wrong and obeyed all road codes. Because of the "general operational danger" of the vehicle.
I remember one in Dusseldorf I was waiting on a crossing - red signal, - A cyclist delivery person was next to me obeyed the crossing tram / street car (U77) and then willingly moved on into the crossing traffic forcing at least 3 vehicles in to an emergency stop. The cyclist showed them the middle finger and disappeared. That is one reason (of several similar occurrences but this one keeps sticking in my mind) why I ride with a dash cam, - perhaps see cyclists and e - bikers a bit preoccupied. If vulnerable intentionally disobey traffic codes and make offensive gestures I should still be liable - and my car should be designed to protect such people? .. Okay humans make errors and a vehicle that has functionality to assist its acceptable. But at the very end. I am the driver and its my fault and if I am the person making an error its my liability. But I shall not be liable for errors or intentional disobedience of traffic rules of other participants, no matter what type of vehicle I drive.
