2025 Pathfinder Earns TOP SAFETY PICK+ for Fourth Year
March 26 2025,
The 2025 Nissan Pathfinder has achieved the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) TOP SAFETY PICK+ designation for the fourth consecutive year, maintaining its exceptional safety record despite increasingly rigorous testing standards.
This prestigious recognition comes as IIHS implemented stricter evaluation criteria in 2024, including an updated moderate overlap front crash test that now features a second dummy positioned behind the driver to assess second-row passenger protection. The Pathfinder's ability to secure top ratings across these enhanced tests demonstrates its advanced safety engineering.
Enhanced Safety Testing
To qualify for the TOP SAFETY PICK+ designation, vehicles must now earn a "Good" rating in the revised moderate overlap front test, along with "Good" ratings in small overlap front and updated side impact tests. Additionally, vehicles must receive "Acceptable" or "Good" ratings in pedestrian front crash prevention and include standard headlights that meet similar quality thresholds.
The Pathfinder's consistent performance across these demanding evaluations highlights Nissan's priority on passenger protection. As Vinay Shahani, Senior Vice President of U.S. Marketing and Sales at Nissan Americas notes, "IIHS continues to raise the bar, and Pathfinder continues to meet it."

Every 2025 Pathfinder comes equipped with Nissan Safety Shield 360, providing you with active safety technologies that monitor, respond, and protect. This suite includes Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning, and Rear Automatic Braking.
Higher trim levels offer additional confidence through the Intelligent Around View Monitor for improved visibility during parking maneuvers, and ProPILOT Assist technology that simplifies highway driving by maintaining distance from the vehicle ahead and helping keep you centered in your lane.
Family-Focused Protection
