2025 Nissan Pathfinder Earns TOP SAFETY PICK | Bennington Nissan

Safety is a top priority for families looking for a reliable and capable SUV, and the all new 2025 Nissan Pathfinder has once again proven itself as a leader in the segment. The Pathfinder has been awarded the 2025 TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS)—the organization’s highest distinction. This marks the fourth consecutive year that the Pathfinder has received this prestigious safety award, reinforcing its reputation as a dependable choice for families in Bennington, VT, and beyond.

Uncompromising Safety for Vermont Drivers

The IIHS has continued to enhance its testing standards to better reflect real-world crash scenarios, and the 2025 Nissan Pathfinder has met and exceeded these rigorous requirements. Notably, the IIHS updated its moderate overlap front crash test in 2024 to include an additional dummy representing a small adult or a 12-year-old child seated in the second row. This test evaluates injury risks for rear-seat passengers—an important factor for families who prioritize the safety of all occupants.

To achieve the TOP SAFETY PICK+ designation, vehicles must:

• Earn a “Good” rating in the updated moderate overlap front crash test.
  
• Score “Good” ratings in the small overlap front and updated side impact tests.
  
• Have standard pedestrian front crash prevention technology rated as “Acceptable” or “Good”.
  
• Come equipped with headlights rated as “Acceptable” or “Good” as standard across all trims.
  

The 2025 Nissan Pathfinder met or exceeded these criteria, demonstrating its comprehensive suite of advanced safety features designed to protect drivers and passengers in Vermont’s diverse driving conditions.
