2024 Nissan Ariya and 2024 Nissan Pathfinder
When shopping for a new car, safety is often at the top of every driver’s list. So, which Nissan models were rated Top Safety Picks in 2024? At Matt Castrucci Nissan in Dayton, OH, we’re proud to highlight two exceptional models that earned high marks for safety. The 2024 Nissan Ariya and 2024 Nissan Pathfinder have both been recognized by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), cementing their reputations as some of the safest vehicles on the road.
Top Safety Pick: 2024 Nissan Ariya
The all-electric Nissan Ariya was named a Top Safety Pick for 2024, making it a standout choice for eco-conscious drivers who prioritize safety. The Ariya earned good scores in all IIHS crashworthiness tests, showcasing its ability to protect passengers in various collision scenarios. The Ariya fell slightly short of perfection in two areas: headlights and seat belt reminders, where it received less-than-best ratings.
Despite these minor critiques, the 2024 Ariya remains a smart and secure option for drivers looking for a sleek, futuristic SUV with advanced safety features.
Top Safety Pick +: 2024 Nissan Pathfinder
The Nissan Pathfinder achieved the highly coveted Top Safety Pick + rating, the IIHS’s highest distinction. This award reflects the Pathfinder SUV’s good scores across all crashworthiness tests and its strong overall performance in protecting passengers.
The only area where the Pathfinder didn’t achieve a perfect score was in the headlight evaluation. Still, with a focus on safety and practicality, this midsize SUV continues to excel as a family-friendly option loaded with advanced driver-assist features.
IIHS Top Safety Pick model benefits
Models with IIHS Top Safety Pick and Top Safety Pick + ratings are designed to provide exceptional protection in real-world scenarios.
