This Year’s Pathfinder Earns TOP SAFETY PICK+ Second-row Passenger Protection | Destination Nissan

Safety is a top priority for families looking for a reliable SUV, and the all new 2025 Nissan Pathfinder delivers. Recently, the Pathfinder earned the 2025 TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS)—its highest safety designation. This marks four years in a row that the Pathfinder has achieved this honor, proving its exceptional safety features and crash-test performance. If you’re searching for a secure and capable SUV in Albany, Schenectady, or Troy, NY, the Pathfinder is built to give you confidence on the road.

A Commitment to Safety That Stands the Test of Time

IIHS safety standards continue to evolve, and the 2025 Nissan Pathfinder has successfully met the challenge. One of the biggest changes to this year’s evaluation is an updated moderate overlap front crash test, which now factors in second-row passenger protection by using an additional crash-test dummy representing a small adult or a 12-year-old child.

To earn the coveted TOP SAFETY PICK+ award, a vehicle must:

• Score a “Good” rating in the new moderate overlap front crash test.
  
• Achieve “Good” ratings in the small overlap front and updated side impact tests.
  
• Offer standard pedestrian crash prevention technology that scores “Acceptable” or “Good”.
  
• Come equipped with headlights rated as “Acceptable” or “Good” across all trim levels.
  

With these high safety standards in mind, the 2025 Pathfinder proves its ability to protect all passengers, making it an excellent choice for Capital Region and surrounding area families.

A Versatile and Safe SUV for Every Journey

Beyond safety, the 2025 Pathfinder is designed with families in mind, offering room for up to eight passengers, a rugged Rock Creek trim for adventure seekers, and a luxurious Platinum edition for those who want extra comfort and tech.

Nissan’s Safety Shield® 360 comes standard across all models, including:

• Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection
  
• Blind Spot Warning
  
• Rear Cross Traffic Alert
  
• Rear Automatic Braking
  
• Lane Departure Warning
  
• High Beam Assist
  

The 2025 Pathfinder also features Intelligent Forward Collision Warning, which monitors traffic ahead, and an available Intelligent Around View® Monitor for easy parking and maneuvering. For added driver assistance, ProPILOT Assist (available on SV and Rock Creek trims) and ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link (offered on SL and Platinum trims) help take the stress out of long highway drives.
