What you have to remember is that those European Chrysler efforts like the Jeep are not made in America. They are made by Magna Steyr in Austria alongside plenty of other SUV's - the BMW ones and the Mercedes ones have been made in the same OEM/contract facility over the years.
Yes. But it's probably not because they are manufactured here that it gets 5 stars in NCAP. Surely it's because they know that if they want to actually sell any Jeeps, they better have 5 stars?
The same would be true for an american 2016 SUV that isn't available in Europe today, if they want to launch it in Europe.
I believe the US manufacturer would either change it to achieve 5 stars, or make an EU model that gets 5 stars, or just not sell it in the EU. And that is regardless of whether the regulations are relaxed so that it could be sold as-is in Europe!
The KL (current Cherokee) is made in Toledo OH USA, even those sold in Europe. The most common engine for EU markets is made in Italy though. Magna Steyr has not made a Jeep for something like five years and never this current generation.
