Why Mazda is a Safe Brand

You may be wondering why so many Mazda SUVs, like the Mazda CX-5, Mazda CX-3 for small SUVs category, were selected. What are the criteria? How are the tests conducted? To be given the TOP SAFETY PICK+ award, the vehicle in question must pass rigorous safety tests with flying colors. Tests include:

• Driver’s Side Small Overlap Front
• Passenger Side Small Overlap Front
• Moderate Overlap Front
• Side Impact
• Roof Strength
• Head Restraint Tests
• Headlight Ratings

The awards to each of these Mazda models are thanks to the brand’s advanced i-ACTIVSENSE® safety suite. Features include those that prevent accidents as well as those what activate if there is a collision. Technologies you can find with i-ACTIVSENSE include Advanced Smart City Brake Support with Pedestrian Detection, Smart Brake Support with Collision Warning, Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, High Beam Control, Traffic Sign Recognition, and much more.
