Four Nissan Models Get IIHS Safety Awards

Dec 11, 2015

Nissan North America, Inc. has plenty to celebrate this holiday season, as four of their top models have been recognized by the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety (IIHS). The 2016 Maxima and Murano have been awarded an IIHS Top Safety Pick Plus and the 2016 Rogue and Sentra have been given a Top Safety Pick award when equipped with Forward Emergency Braking.

The Top Safety Pick Plus rating is the highest designation from the IIHS and was given to the Maxima, which joined the previously announced Murano, since in scored “Good” in all five TSP categories and earned TSP+ status with a “Superior” rating for front crash prevention for those models equipped with Forward Emergency Braking.

The 2016 Sentra received a Top Safety Pick along with the Rogue. When the Sentra goes on sale in January it will offer Forward Emergency Braking. This means that it will have the opportunity to upgrade its rating to a Top Safety Pick Plus.

“Nissan is proud to again have our core vehicles recognized by IIHS for vehicle safety,” said Pierre Loing, vice president, Product Strategy and Planning, Nissan North America, Inc. (NNA). “The new Maxima, like the Murano, is setting high standards in its class for styling, performance, and interior refinement. The 2016 Nissan Rogue and Sentra demonstrate Nissan’s commitment to high quality and safety standards, and we are gratified that these outstanding vehicles have been recognized for excellent design.”
