Nissan ARIYA Earns IIHS' Top Safety Pick+ Award for 2023

The 2023 Nissan ARIYA, a recently introduced electric midsize SUV, has garnered the prestigious Top Safety Pick+ award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). This recognition sets the ARIYA apart as a vehicle that excels in safety standards, ensuring peace of mind for drivers and passengers alike.


Stringent Safety Criteria


To attain the Top Safety Pick+ accolade in 2023, a vehicle must meet a set of stringent criteria. These include receiving a good rating in various crash tests, such as the driver-side small overlap front, passenger-side small overlap front, original moderate overlap front, and updated side tests. Additionally, the vehicle must have acceptable or good headlights as standard across all trim levels. Furthermore, a front crash prevention system must be available, earning advanced or superior ratings in both daytime and nighttime vehicle-to-pedestrian evaluations.


In comparison, the lower-tier Top Safety Pick award requires an acceptable rating in the updated side test and only an advanced or superior rating in the daytime vehicle-to-pedestrian test.


ARIYA vehicles manufactured in 2023 meet the requirements for the Top Safety Pick+ award. These vehicles are equipped with a standard front crash prevention system that excels in both daytime and nighttime vehicle-to-pedestrian evaluations. Additionally, an optional system is available, earning a superior daytime rating and an advanced nighttime rating.


It's worth noting that adjustments made to the aim of the headlights this year have resulted in acceptable ratings for the LED projectors supplied with all ARIYA trims. This enhancement ensures that the ARIYA meets the IIHS' high safety standards.


Conclusion


In conclusion, the 2023 Nissan ARIYA has earned the IIHS' Top Safety Pick+ award, highlighting its commitment to safety. The ARIYA's e-4ORCE all-wheel drive system has also been recognized for its outstanding performance and drivability. This latest achievement, combined with the previously awarded "Wards 10 Best Engines & Propulsion Systems" honour, solidifies the ARIYA's position as an industry-leading electric vehicle in 2023.
