For parents, the safety of their children is always paramount, especially when buying a vehicle. With the 2017 Nissan Pathfinder SL, you can rest easy knowing that you are driving a highly-ranked mid-size SUV boasting excellent scores.Â
Â
The Pathfinder was named the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s 2017 Top Safety Pick, giving the vehicle the highest rating of Good in five individual tests, including the small overlap front, moderate overlap front, side, roof strength, and head restraints and seats evaluations. When tested for its collision avoidance and mitigation, the Pathfinder scored Superior for front crash prevention.Â
Â
Standard safety equipment on the SL trim is extremely robust, including blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert systems, as well as a 360-degree parking camera system with moving object detection and warning. When equipped with all-wheel drive, hill descent control is included as standard equipment for added grip on rough terrain without any brake input from the driver. This is complemented by electronic stability control, which improves a vehicle's stability by detecting and reducing a loss of traction.
