Nissan Altima Earns Top Safety Pick+

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has given the 2016 Nissan Altima it's highest designation, the Top Safety Pick+.  The Altima rated as "Superior" in crash avoidance and mitigation, when equipped with optional Forward Emergency Braking. 
 
This latest announcement, along with 2016 Nissan Rogue and Sentra earning TSP designations, gives Nissan North America's three top selling vehicles TSP or better ratings and underscores Nissan's commitment to safety throughout its lineup.
 
The IIHS requires a "Good" or better rating in all five crashworthiness segments to earn the "Top Safety Pick" and making an available front crash prevention system mandatory for all awards.  The five categories are: small overlap front test, moderate overlap front, side, roof strength, and head restraints and seats. 

Michael Bunce, vice president, Product Strategy and Planning for Nissan North America, Inc. says, "Nissan is very proud to have our best-selling vehicle recognized by IIHS for excellence in vehicle safety.  Like the new Maxima and Murano, Altima sets high standards in a very competitive class for styling, performance and value as well as safety. We at Nissan are gratified to see that another of our core models has been recognized for excellent design and vehicle safety."

 
 Predictive Forward Collision Warning and Forward Emergency Braking
This available system uses radar to constantly monitor not just one vehicle ahead in your lane, but two.  When it detects sudden deceleration, it gives you an audible warning and a visual signal on the instrument panel.  Forward Emergency Braking keeps an eye on your speed and proximity to the vehicle ahead and can apply brakes if you fail to respond.
