Setting the Standard for Safety

Earning the coveted IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ award isn’t easy. Vehicles must excel in rigorous crash tests, including updated small overlap front and side-impact tests. They also need top ratings in back-seat safety and pedestrian crash prevention, as well as high-performing headlights on all trims. Mazda’s winning models met or exceeded these benchmarks, reflecting the brand’s dedication to continuous improvement.

Safety Through Innovation

Mazda’s achievements are made possible by groundbreaking safety technologies like i-ACTIVSENSE®, which uses radar and cameras to monitor the road and surroundings. This system provides drivers with alerts and can even intervene to prevent collisions. Features like adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist ensure maximum confidence for every journey, whether heading to Maryland on Route 273 or commuting to Wilmington​​.

Mazda also invests in passive safety, with SKYACTIV®-Body technology designed to protect passengers during impacts. From airbags to seatbelt innovations, every detail is engineered to keep you safe.
