If you are in search of an all-new sedan with a focus on passenger safety, you'll want to check out the 2018 Nissan Altima. It was recently named an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) 2018 Top Safety Pick, earning â€œGoodâ€ crashworthiness scores across the board and a â€œSuperiorâ€ score in front crash prevention, which are the highest ranking by the safety authority.

And new for this year, itâ€™s harder for vehicles to pass the crash testsÂ since the IIHS updated their standards. Now a vehicle must score â€œGoodâ€ ratings in the driver-side small overlap front, moderate overlap front, side, roof strength, and head restraint tests. It must also receive a good rating in headlight tests, score advanced or superior ratings for front crash prevention, and also score either acceptable or good ratings in the passenger-side small overlap front test.Â

Despite the tougher standards, they were no match for the 2018 Nissan Altima. This mid-size sedan features many top-notch safety features that add to its rigidity and security on the roads, including:

â€¢ Standard Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)

â€¢ Standard Intelligent Forward Collision Warning (I-FCW)

â€¢ Available radar-based Blind Spot Warning (BSW)

â€¢ Available Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC)

â€¢ Available Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)

It's one of the safest vehicles on the roads. Don't you think it's time you give it a closer look?
