What Makes MAZDA Cars So Safe?

Modern automobiles are safer than ever thanks to the advent of automotive technology and more efficient body crumple zones. And when it comes to safety, Mazda stands a head above the rest. Learn about the Mazda safety features that minimize collisions and reduce severity of impact should a collision occur.

Safety Technology

The Mazda brand has accrued a reputation for safety due to the Mazda i-ACTIVSENSE® safety suite. With it includes a number of safety features, some of which come standard and some of which are available depending on the model and trim. Active safety technologies like the Adaptive Front-Lighting System and the Mazda Radar Cruise Control help prevent accidents, while pre-crash safety technology like Smart City Brake Support reduce the risk of a collision.

SKYACTIV®-Body

Mazda developers utilize the SKYACTIV®-Body for the vehicle frame. This improves body rigidity by 30% while reducing weight by 8%. The result is a better ability to absorb the force of an impact.

Safety Awards

The safety of Mazda vehicles isn’t just conjecture; it has been proven in tests. The following 2023 Mazda models underwent safety tests from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS):

• Mazda3, both the sedan and hatchback versions
• Mazda CX-30
• Mazda CX-5
• Mazda CX-50
• Mazda CX-9

The results? All of the above models received the coveted 2023 Top Safety Awards. What makes the accolade even more impressive is that IIHS recently updated its test — the crash tests now involve 82% more force. Despite the more rigorous requirements, the Mazda3, Mazda CX-5, and Mazda CX-9 received a Good rating in every tested area.
