That's why we want to give you a look at the 2018 Nissan Pathfinder safety ratings and features. If you're considering making this midsize SUV your next daily driver, you'll be interested in learning how it has fared in crash testing and what intelligent safety technologies it offers. We'll walk you through it all, right here!

Pathfinder Safety Ratings

After undergoing a battery of crash tests by the NHTSA and IIHS, the 2018 Pathfinder has proven itself to be engineered with your safety in mind, with effective passive safety systems to reduce the risk of damage to passengers in several crash scenarios.

This year, the Pathfinder has earned an NHTSA 5-Star Overall Safety Rating, passing frontal crash as well as rollover tests with flying colors, and even getting a perfect 5-out-of-5 stars on side crash testing. In the IIHS testing, the Pathfinder received the highest rating of Good on five crashworthiness tests, showing an ability to reduce risk of injury to head, legs, and feet in various scenarios.

Nissan Pathfinder Safety Features

In addition to the passive safety devices built into the vehicle, like airbags, seat belts, and body structure, you'll find a suite of available driver-assist features for some backup when you need it. Nissan Intelligent Mobility includes Blind Spot Warning, to alert you if it detects a car hiding in your blind spot when you signal a turn.

Looking for an easier commute with less tedium and fewer starts and stops? The Intelligent Cruise Control feature can make that happen. By tracking the flow of traffic and continually adjusting speed to match, it helps you maintain a preset distance from the car in front of you. For your daily commute on the highway, this feature can be highly useful.

More Active Safety Capabilities

When you need to stop quickly to avoid an accident, Brake Assist with Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD) is a good standard feature to have in the 2018 Pathfinder. If it senses that you're braking hard and are in an emergency, it can apply max brake force-and EBD can send extra brake force to the rear brakes to control for extra weight in the back.

Tired of trying to guess when your tires are critically underinflated? That won't be an issue anymore with the Pathfinder's Tire Pressure Monitoring System. It will alert you when any individual tire's pressure gets too low, and it even makes filling your tires easier by beeping the horn when you reach the right pressure level. You can avoid blowouts and stay safer on the roads!
