Safety - What the Auto Press Says
The federal government gives the 2010 Pathfinder four stars for driver and passenger safety in frontal crash tests -- a good score, but it still falls below most SUVs, which often earn five stars. It also receives only a three-star rollover score, meaning it has a 23 percent chance of rollover -- which isn't ideal, especially if you plan to use it as a family vehicle. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gives the Pathfinder its top score of "Good" in frontal offset and side impact tests (rear crash protection tests have not been conducted on the 2010 model).
On the plus side, the Pathfinder comes with roof-mounted curtain supplemental air bags for side-impact and rollover head protection for all three rows of outboard occupants. In addition, it provides an Advanced Air Bag System with dual-stage supplemental front air bags, driver and front-passenger seat-mounted side-impact supplemental air bags and Vehicle Dynamic Control. A RearView Monitor is standard on LE models and optional as part of the $3,050 Premium Journey Package on SE models.
