Nissan is known the world over as a manufacturer of affordable, reliable cars. The Nissan Leaf, Versa Note, Sentra, Juke, Frontier, and more have all become synonymous with well-priced reliability. What many drivers do not know, however, is that Nissan has for years lead the pack when it comes to the technology that powers its cars. Nissan vehicles often offer class-leading or class-exclusive technologies that help keep drivers safe on the road and improve their ability to react to unexpected changes in driving conditions.

There’s a reason that Nissan vehicles continue to earn high marks for safety. Nissan places a premium on safety features. Many Nissan safety features come standard where other automakers would consider them optional – all without raising the vehicles outside of their usual affordable price point.

Safety Comes Standard with Nissan

While the exact safety specifications of a given model depend on the exact model, Nissan buyers can expect a few common threads. The Nissan Advanced Air Bag system includes dual-stage front air bags with seatbelt and occupant-classification sensors. Most vehicles come equipped with driver and front-passenger seat-mounted side-impact supplemental air bags in addition to roof-mountain curtain side-impact airbags. The hard truth is that not all accidents are avoidable; Nissan works hard to keep occupants save in the event of a crash. Nissan’s fleet has high crash ratings from the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety and trusted organizations like Consumer Reports and Edmunds.

Control When You Need It

The ideal outcome of any accident is to have no accident at all. It’s not a stretch to assume that most drivers would prefer to avoid an accident, regardless of how safe their vehicle may be. Nissan’s fleet of cars, trucks, SUVs, and crossovers offer a bevy of features designed to make it easier for drivers to react safety to sudden surprises. Vehicle dynamic control with traction control automatically shifts power to individual tires to improve handling and responsiveness in tough conditions. Lane departure warnings prevent accidental drift. Finally, a tire pressure monitoring system ensures that critical information stays exactly where it needs to stay — within easy view of the driver. All of these functions combine to provide drivers with reliable and predictable performance no matter what the road chooses to toss in their path.

Information and Visibility

The more information a driver has about his or her surroundings, the safer that driver will be. Nissan’s vehicles include several features that serve to observe the environment around a vehicle and to report important information back to the driver. Blind spot warnings and moving object detection alert drivers to possible problems on the road. Most notably, the Nissan around-view monitor system provides drivers with a 360-degree view of their vehicle’s surroundings. This feature not only helps keep occupants safe, but makes daily tasks like parallel parking and navigating tight spaces much easier.

Driver safety is about more than protecting occupants in a crash. It’s about providing drivers with the information they need to avoid a crash in the first place. Nissan’s layered approach to safety ensures that drivers always the awareness they require, the ability to react safely to emergency driving situations, and protection from harm in the event that an accident is unavoidable. With all of the standard and available safety features Nissan has to offer, drivers can feel safe knowing they and their passengers are being provided with the latest and greatest in high safety technology. Nissan has always put safety first and its current generation of cars, trucks, and crossovers is evidence of this focus; the car maker continues to lead and innovate when it comes to keeping drivers safe.
