Nissan has been recognized by Parents with the award for Best Standard Assist & Safety Features as part of its 2026 Best Family Cars Awards. The honor highlights Nissan’s commitment to making advanced safety and driver-assistance technologies more widely available and easy for families to use.
To determine this year’s winners, Parents experts spent months test‑driving more than 150vehicles across every major segment, evaluating safety technology, ease of installation for child seats, real-world drivability and overall family readiness.
Judges noted that while advanced driver assistance and safety features have become more common across the industry, Nissan stands out for delivering a robust suite of technologies paired with simple, intuitive operation. Parents praised Nissan for thoughtful integration of safety and driver-assist features that enhance the driving experience without unnecessary complexity, offering families meaningful protection the moment they get behind the wheel.
The award specifically recognizes Nissan’s ProPILOT Assist1 system and the brand’s Safety Shield® 360 technologies. ProPILOT Assist streamlines highway driving with single‑button activation and clear dashboard indicators, helping manage speed, lane centering and steering support.
ProPILOT Assist, Nissan’s most advanced driver assistance technology, allows attentive drivers to take their hands off the steering wheel in single-lane freeway operation, while the system handles acceleration, steering and braking on more than 200,000 miles of compatible highways.
Safety Shield® 360 provides an additional layer of confidence with six standard features: Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Rear Automatic Braking, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning and High Beam Assist. Using cameras, radar, and sonar, these systems monitor the area around the vehicle to help prevent collisions and increase driver awareness—supporting families in a wide range of daily driving scenarios.
