2025 Nissan Armada Aces Rigorous IIHS Safety Testing

The 2025 Nissan Armada has successfully navigated the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's most demanding crash tests, earning the coveted TOP SAFETY PICK+ designation. This achievement comes despite IIHS implementing tougher testing protocols for 2024.

Safety isn't just a feature in the all-new Armada—it's the foundation. Nissan engineers have created a full-size SUV that protects what matters most: you and your passengers. The TOP SAFETY PICK+ award confirms the Armada's exceptional performance in crash prevention and occupant protection.

Superior Protection for Every Passenger

The 2025 IIHS testing introduces a more challenging moderate overlap front crash test that includes a second dummy positioned behind the driver. This test simulates a small adult woman or 12-year-old child, ensuring vehicles protect rear passengers as effectively as those in front seats.

To earn the prestigious TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating, the Armada achieved a "Good" rating in this rigorous test—confirming protection extends throughout the cabin. This rating demonstrates Nissan's comprehensive approach to safety engineering in the Armada's redesigned structure.

Advanced Safety Technology Works Proactively

Your Armada doesn't just react to accidents—it works to prevent them. The standard Nissan Safety Shield 360 suite includes technologies that actively monitor your surroundings:

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

These advanced systems helped the Armada earn "Acceptable" or "Good" ratings in the IIHS evaluations of pedestrian front crash prevention—another requirement for the TOP SAFETY PICK+ award.

Visibility Enhances Safety

Superior visibility is crucial for accident prevention. The 2025 Armada's standard LED headlights earned the "Acceptable" or "Good" rating required for the TOP SAFETY PICK+ designation. This performance ensures optimal illumination in various driving conditions, reducing risk during nighttime driving.

The Armada further enhances visibility with innovative camera technologies, including the Invisible Hood View and Front Wide View systems. These features provide enhanced visual information, helping you navigate tight spaces with confidence.

Engineered for Confidence

The 2025 Armada's body structure has been significantly strengthened compared to the previous generation, with 25% greater torsional rigidity and 57% increased lateral stiffness. These improvements create a more robust safety cage while also enhancing ride quality and reducing noise.

This strong foundation combines with advanced driver assistance features like ProPILOT Assist to create a comprehensive safety approach. Available ProPILOT Assist 2.1 adds even more confidence with hands-free highway driving capability in single-lane scenarios.

Protection for What Matters Most

The full-size Armada is designed with families in mind, offering safety features specifically for younger passengers:

• Multiple LATCH points for secure car seat installation 
• Rear door child safety locks 
• Rear seat reminder system 
• Comprehensive airbag system including front, side, curtain, and knee airbags

These family-focused protections complement the structural integrity that helped the Armada excel in IIHS testing.
