For families in Swarthmore, PA, and the greater Philadelphia area, safety is a top priority when choosing an SUV. The 2025 Nissan Pathfinder has once again proven its commitment to protection and reliability, earning the prestigious TOP SAFETY PICK+ award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). This marks the fourth consecutive year that the Pathfinder has received this honor, standing out as one of the safest three-row SUVs on the road today.
At Loughead Nissan, we know that drivers in Delaware County, Philadelphia County, Montgomery County, and beyond demand a vehicle that performs under pressure. The 2025 Pathfinder passed the IIHS’s increasingly strict crash tests, ensuring that it can withstand real-world impacts while keeping passengers secure.
IIHS Testing: How the 2025 Pathfinder Stands Up to Real-World Challenges
The IIHS continually updates its crash testing to reflect modern driving risks, and the 2025 Nissan Pathfinder met these tougher standards head-on. One of the most significant changes in the latest testing is the updated moderate overlap front crash test, which now includes a second crash-test dummy representing a small adult or a 12-year-old child sitting behind the driver.
To earn the TOP SAFETY PICK+ designation, a vehicle must perform exceptionally in several categories, including:
- Updated moderate overlap front crash test – The 2025 Pathfinder achieved a “Good” rating, demonstrating its ability to protect front and rear passengers.
- Small overlap front crash test – This test evaluates what happens when the front corner of a vehicle collides with an object, like a tree or utility pole. The Pathfinder again earned a top rating.
- Updated side impact test – A “Good” rating in this category means the Pathfinder effectively absorbs and disperses crash energy to protect passengers.
- Pedestrian front crash prevention – Vehicles must have automatic emergency braking (AEB) that earns an “Acceptable” or “Good” rating to reduce pedestrian collisions.
- Standard headlights – To qualify for the highest safety rating, all trim levels must feature headlights rated as “Acceptable” or “Good” to improve visibility at night.
These real-world-inspired crash tests prove that the 2025 Nissan Pathfinder is built with Swarthmore, Springfield, and Media families in mind—helping to keep drivers and passengers safe in all conditions.
Designed for Confidence: Advanced Safety Comes Standard
Beyond its exceptional crash test performance, the 2025 Pathfinder comes loaded with Nissan Safety Shield® 360, offering six standard driver-assist features, including:
- Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection

For added security, the Pathfinder offers class-exclusive Intelligent Forward Collision Warning, which scans the road ahead for potential hazards, and an available Intelligent Around View® Monitor to make parking in tight Swarthmore streets or busy Philadelphia lots effortless.
