The 2025 Nissan Armada has earned the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's highest distinction—the TOP SAFETY PICK+ award. This recognition confirms what's most important in a family SUV: exceptional protection for every passenger.
Your peace of mind deserves more than promises—it deserves validation. The Armada's performance in IIHS testing proves its ability to protect your family through real-world scenarios, not just controlled demonstrations. This full-size SUV faced tougher testing standards and emerged with top honours.
Beyond the Badge: Understanding the Achievement
The IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ isn't awarded lightly. For 2024, IIHS implemented more stringent testing protocols that evaluate protection for all occupants. The Armada excelled in the updated moderate overlap front crash test, which now includes a second dummy positioned behind the driver to assess rear passenger safety.
This additional testing ensures the Armada protects rear-seat passengers—often children or smaller adults—with the same dedication it provides to front-seat occupants. The "Good" rating achieved in this test demonstrates Nissan's commitment to comprehensive protection throughout the cabin.
Protection That Works Before Impact
Your Armada actively works to prevent accidents with standard Nissan Safety Shield 360 technologies:
- Automatic Emergency Braking identifies potential collisions with vehicles and pedestrians
- Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention helps you avoid lane-change collisions
- Rear Automatic Braking watches for obstacles while you back up
- Lane Departure Warning alerts you if you drift from your lane unintentionally
These systems contributed to the Armada's strong performance in pedestrian front crash prevention evaluations—another requirement for the TOP SAFETY PICK+ designation.
Visibility When It Matters Most
Clear visibility reduces accident risk. The 2025 Armada's standard LED headlights earned the "Acceptable" or "Good" rating required for TOP SAFETY PICK+ status, ensuring proper illumination in various driving conditions.
The Armada further enhances your visual awareness with innovative camera technologies:
- Invisible Hood View provides a virtual "through-the-hood" perspective
- Front Wide View offers an expanded view of your surroundings
- 3D Around View Monitor allows you to "rotate" your viewing angle to spot obstacles
These systems give you crucial information to navigate challenging situations safely.
Structural Integrity You Can Trust
The 2025 Armada's redesigned frame delivers 25% greater torsional rigidity and 57% increased lateral stiffness compared to the previous generation. This robust structure creates a protective safety cage while enhancing ride quality and reducing cabin noise.
This strong foundation pairs with advanced driver assistance features like ProPILOT Assist, which provides steering support and intelligent cruise control. Available ProPILOT Assist 2.1 adds hands-free highway driving capability in single-lane scenarios for even greater confidence.
Family-Focused Protection
Your family's safety influenced every aspect of the Armada's design:
- Multiple LATCH points ensure secure car seat installation
- Comprehensive airbag system includes front, side, curtain, and knee protection
- Rear door child safety locks prevent unintentional opening
- Rear seat reminder helps ensure no one is left behind
These thoughtful features complement the crash-tested structural integrity that earned the TOP SAFETY PICK+ designation.
