At Younger Nissan in Frederick, MD, we know that safety is one of the most important factors when choosing an SUV for your family. That’s why we’re proud to highlight the 2025 Nissan Pathfinder, which has earned the prestigious IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ designation for the fourth consecutive year. This award reflects Nissan’s dedication to safety and innovation, ensuring that families in Frederick, Hagerstown, and beyond can drive with confidence.
How the 2025 Pathfinder Achieved the IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) continuously updates its testing standards to match real-world driving conditions. In 2024, they introduced a more rigorous moderate overlap front crash test, which now includes a second dummy in the back seat, representing a small adult or a 12-year-old child. This update is crucial for assessing rear-seat passenger protection, and the 2025 Pathfinder exceeded expectations, earning a “Good” rating, the highest possible score.
Here’s what contributed to the Pathfinder’s top safety rating:
- Top-Tier Crash Protection – The Pathfinder excelled in both small overlap front and updated side-impact tests, demonstrating exceptional protection for all occupants.
- Advanced Pedestrian Safety – The 2025 Pathfinder’s Automatic Emergency Braking system earned an “Acceptable” or “Good” rating, helping reduce pedestrian-related collisions in city traffic or parking lots.
- Superior Headlights Across All Trims – Standard LED headlights received top ratings, ensuring excellent visibility on Frederick’s roads at night.
- Innovative Safety Technology – Equipped with Nissan Safety Shield® 360, the Pathfinder actively prevents accidents with features like Blind Spot Warning, Lane Departure Warning, and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert.
