2025 Nissan Pathfinder Named IIHS Top Safety Pick+

Some SUVs chase trends. The 2025 Nissan Pathfinder chases excellence—and it just caught another big one. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has awarded the Pathfinder its coveted Top Safety Pick+ designation for the fourth year in a row. Not just a participation trophy. This is the highest honor the IIHS offers. And in a world of tighter testing and higher standards, that’s no small feat.

If you’re in New Port Richey and safety is non-negotiable (and it should be), this is the SUV you want in your corner.

What Does Top Safety Pick+ Actually Mean?

In short? It means the 2025 Pathfinder is one of the safest three-row SUVs on the road—period. To earn this badge of honor, a vehicle has to perform like a champ in a gauntlet of crash tests:

  • Small overlap front crash
  • Updated moderate overlap front crash with second-row dummy
  • Updated side impact crash
  • Pedestrian front crash prevention
  • Headlight quality testing

Most vehicles hope to pass. The Pathfinder scores “Good” or “Acceptable” across the board. In fact, it crushed the new second-row dummy test—an extra-tough addition meant to mimic a small adult or child behind the driver. Translation? Not just the front seats are protected. Everyone inside gets the VIP treatment.

Safety Shield® 360 Comes Standard

You don’t need to shell out extra for advanced protection. Every 2025 Pathfinder comes with Nissan Safety Shield® 360, which includes:

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

Add in Intelligent Forward Collision Warning (a Nissan exclusive in this class) and available ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link, and you’ve got a family SUV that’s practically thinking one step ahead of you.

More Than Safe—The Pathfinder Is Seriously Capable

Sure, the safety credentials are headline-worthy. But the Pathfinder isn’t just built to protect. It’s built to perform.

Need seating for 8? Done. Want rugged style? Go for the Rock Creek Edition with off-road suspension and beefy all-terrain tires. Craving comfort? The Platinum trim adds quilted leather seats, a panoramic moonroof, and a 13-speaker Bose® premium sound system.

And don’t forget the Intelligent Around View® Monitor—a class-exclusive camera system that makes parallel parking in downtown New Port Richey or a tight beach lot feel like a breeze.
