Mazda vehicles have long been synonymous with safety. In fact, our safest Mazda cars have often been recognized for their smart designs and standout features. Heritage Mazda Bel Air details how Mazda makes its vehicles so safe.
Top Safety Awards
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) names the safest vehicles on the road as IIHS Top Safety Pick+ award winners. The criteria continue to get tougher, including this year’s emphasis on pedestrian crash prevention, back-seat safety, and crash-avoidance performance. For the third consecutive year, more Mazda models have earned the award than any other brand. The eight 2026 winners include:
- MAZDA3 Sedan
- MAZDA3 Hatchback
- MAZDA CX-30
- MAZDA CX-50
- MAZDA CX-70
- MAZDA CX-70 PHEV
- MAZDA CX-90
- MAZDA CX-90 PHEV
Commitment to Safety
There has always been a commitment to safety in Mazda models. By understanding the risks of driving and designing vehicles to avoid danger altogether, Mazda has helped to establish its vehicles as leaders in the industry in terms of safety. In fact, Mazda has had 99 IIHS Top Safety Pick award winners since 2008, and 73 of those winners have earned the top-tier Top Safety Pick+ award.
Innovative Safety Features
The IIHS has attributed the superior safety in Mazda models to their ever-evolving driver assistance technologies. By bundling many features, Mazda vehicles keep their drivers and passengers protected, as well as effectively reduce collisions on the road. Their standout features include Automatic Emergency Braking with Forward Collision Warning™, Adaptive Cruise Control™, Lane Departure Warning and Prevention™, Rear Automatic Emergency Braking™, Driver Attention Alert™, and more.
