The 2015 Nissan Sentra has received the crash test results from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
The IIHS has given the 2015 Nissan Sentra a Top Safety Pick award as the sedan improved from a poor to a good rating in the small-overlap frontal crash test. The Japanese automaker made changes to the front structure, A-pillar and door sill while the side-curtain airbag was lengthened to help protect the driver’s head – all changes that paid off for the Sentra.

Compared to the 2013-2014 Sentra, the 2015 model year had its driver space much more well maintained during the small-overlap crash test, having less than five inches of intrusion at the lower door hinge pillar. Previously, the Sentra had 13 inches of intrusion at the lower door hinge pillar.
