Safety and Driver Assistance Rating:

*Due to lack of NHTSA and IIHS crash testing.

The Clubman JCW is quite pricey, a characteristic made even more egregious by the fact that the car is seriously lacking in active-safety aids. Adaptive cruise control, front automated emergency braking, and parking assist are available at extra cost, but there’s no lane-keeping assist, lane-departure warning, or blind-spot monitoring. Neither safety agency has tested a Clubman JCW, so we cannot give it a star rating here.

What’s New for 2018?

While most of the Clubman JCW’s optional active-safety features still cost extra, a driver-attention monitor is now standard for 2018. The Clubman JCW has not yet been crash-tested by either the IIHS or NHTSA.

Crash-Test Results

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the nonprofit, independent Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) evaluate vehicles for crashworthiness in the United States. NHTSA assigns cars an overall rating out of five stars. IIHS uses a different set of tests, grades cars on a scale of Good to Poor, and awards the vehicles that perform best across its tests with Top Safety Pick or Top Safety Pick+ honors, the latter of which requires that the subject’s automated forward-collision-braking system performs well.
