Nissan Ariya Awarded Top Safety Pick From IIHS

The 2023 Nissan Ariya is more than just a zero-emissions champion. With a slew of advanced safety technologies tucked under its sleek hood, this all-electric SUV is setting new standards on the tarmac. We’ve seen vehicles make claims about top-notch protection, but the Ariya stands out for earning the stamp of approval from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) with the TOP SAFETY PICK+ designation.

Let’s look closer at the standout safety features that put the Ariya in a class of its own, proving that being eco-conscious doesn’t mean skimping on security.

A Suite of Safety Features

The accolade from IIHS is no small feat. The new and stricter rating criteria for 2023 means awards like the TOP SAFETY PICK+ are harder to come by. The Nissan Ariya aced the test – literally. To earn this rating, vehicles need to demonstrate exceptional performance in a battery of tests, including crashworthiness, crash avoidance, and headlight visibility. And this is a medal the Ariya wears with pride.

Fortified to the Core

The structural integrity of a vehicle is like its DNA, and the Ariya’s genes are as solid as they come. Stacked with advanced high-strength steel, its safety cage is engineered to absorb and redirect the forces of a collision away from the passengers. The use of steel is strategic, balancing strength and weight to keep the vehicle nimble yet secure.

Driving with an Extra Set of Eyes

Imagine having a co-pilot that never flinches, never blinks, and never sleeps on the job. That’s what you get with the Ariya’s suite of proactive safety features. The six elements that make up Nissan’s Safety Shield 360 act as a vigilant set of eyes, ears, and reflexes. From automatically braking in case of an imminent collision to alerting you when a vehicle drifts into your blind spot, the Ariya’s tech watches out for you like a well-programmed guardian angel.

Spotlight on Nighttime Visibility

The thrill of the open road sometimes extends into the night, and the Ariya ensures that your safety is never compromised. Thanks to its full-LED headlights, featuring Intelligent Auto Headlights and High Beam Assist, visibility is crystal clear without dazzling oncoming traffic. High beams are activated and deactivated automatically, just when you need them, making those late-night drives a little less daunting and a lot more secure.

Assistance that Adapts

Staying safe isn’t just about avoiding trouble. It’s also about having the right tools at hand to handle the unexpected. The Ariya’s range of driver assistance technology, ranging from standard ProPILOT Assist to available ProPILOT Assist 2.0 and ProPILOT Park, is a masterclass in vehicular adaptability. These systems adjust to the flow of traffic and road conditions, offering not just safety but a smoother, stress-free driving experience.
