2022 Nissan Altima IIHS Safety Ratings
The Nissan Altima has been awarded either the Top Safety Pick or Top Safety Pick+ award from the IIHS since the 2012 model, and the all-new 2022 Altima is no different! The Altima received top marks from the IIHS for its vehicle-to-vehicle front crash prevention, its LATCH ease of use, its roof strength, its head restraints, and much more. The IIHS tests vehicle crashworthiness by simulating collisions at 12, 25, and 37 miles an hour. The Nissan Altima passed its vehicle-to-vehicle collision test with the top “superior” rating, and passed the vehicle-to-pedestrian test with an “advanced” rating.
2022 Nissan Altima NHTSA Safety Ratings
The NHTSA hasn’t rated the latest 2022 Nissan Altima yet, but they gave a top five-star crash-test rating to the 2021 model. The NHTSA tests vehicles for crashworthiness in a frontal crash, a side crash, and a rollover crash, and the Nissan Altima passed all three with flying colors! The Altima’s overall frontal crash rating was four stars (with the driver-side safety earning five stars), its side crash rating was five stars, and its rollover rating was five stars. The NHTSA gave particular praise to the Altima’s Forward Collision Warning, Lane Departure Warning, Crash Imminent Braking, and Dynamic Brake Support–all of which come standard!

2022 Nissan Altima Standard Safety Features
- Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Braking: The Nissan Altima is always monitoring road conditions ahead of you, keeping track of your speed and the speed of the car in front of you. It’ll let you know if you’re getting too close, and will engage the emergency brakes if a forward collision is imminent.
- Rear Automatic Braking: Just as the Altima looks ahead of you on the road, it scans behind you when you’re in reverse. If it detects an object, person, or anything else behind your SUV, it will engage the brakes to avoid a rear collision.
- Blind Spot Warning: Keep an eye on your blind spot with this helpful feature, which sends out an alert when there’s something hiding in it.
- Rear Cross Traffic Alert: If you’re backing out of a parking spot or into the road, the Altima will monitor conditions and warn you if cars or pedestrians are passing by.
- Lane Departure Warning: If you’re unknowingly straying out of your lane on the road, the Altima will gently remind you with an alert or a buzz on the steering wheel to let you know.
- High Beam Assist: The Altima will automatically detect vehicles coming towards you in the other direction and deactivate the high beams, before reactivating them when the vehicle has passed.
2022 Nissan Altima Available Safety Features
- Intelligent Around View Mirror: The Intelligent Around View Monitor uses four camera views stitched together to give you a 360-degree view of conditions around your vehicle, so you can keep an eye on everything as you navigate into or out of a parking spot.
- Intelligent Forward Collision Warning: This class-exclusive feature watches two car lengths ahead, alerting you with a warning when it detects deceleration in front of you.
- Traffic Sign Recognition: With Traffic Sign Recognition, you can enjoy peace of mind on the road as the Nissan Altima scans nearby road signs and informs you of speed limits, road closures, and more!
