Small overlap front
The small overlap front evaluation consists of a driver-side and a passenger-side component. If the results of the two evaluations differ, then the combined small overlap rating is equal to the lower rating.
Driver-side
- Rating applies to 2022-24 models
Tested vehicle: 2022 Nissan Pathfinder S 4-door 4wd
The Nissan Pathfinder and Infiniti QX60 were redesigned for the 2022 model year after a one year absence from the market. Driver-side small overlap frontal ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test of a 2022 Pathfinder conducted by Nissan as part of frontal crash test verification.

Moderate overlap front: updated test
Rating applies to 2024 models built after November 2023
Tested vehicle: 2024 Nissan Pathfinder SL4-door 4wd
The Nissan Pathfinder was redesigned for the 2022 model year after a one year absence from the market. Beginning with 2024 models, built after November 2023, improvements were made to the rear seat belts to improve occupant protection in moderate overlap front with rear occupant crashes. (Information about when a specific vehicle was manufactured is on the certification label typically affixed to the car on the driver door or adjacent B-pillar.) These ratings do not apply to the Infiniti QX60.

View of the vehicle after the crash showing the airbags and damage to the occupant compartment.
The rear passenger dummy's head approached the front seatback, which increases the risk of head injuries.
Rear passenger dummy injury values indicate a low risk of injury to the head or neck and chest. During the crash, the shoulder belt remained in an ideal position on the dummy’s chest.
The rear passenger dummy's lap belt remained in the ideal position on the pelvis.

Distance at which headlights provide at least 5 lux illumination: |
Low beams
On the straightaway, visibility was good on the right side of the road and fair on the left side. On curves, visibility was fair on the sharp left and both right curves and inadequate on the gradual left curve.
The low beams never exceeded glare limits.
High beams
On the straightaway, visibility was fair on both sides of the road. On curves, visibility was good on the gradual right curve and fair on the sharp right and both left curves.
High-beam assist compensates for some limitations of this vehicle's low beams on the straightaway and all 4 curves.
