IIHS Top Safety Pick+

How to Qualify

Earning the IIHS's title of Top Safety Pick+ is no easy task. Each vehicle is carefully tested and must earn highest ranking of "Good" in crashworthiness, as well as an "Advanced" or "Superior" in front crash prevention and an "Acceptable" or "Good" in the headlight category.

In order to pass these exacting assessments with such flying colors, Mazda vehicles provide drivers with a host of technological safety features as well as a stronger, more secure overall build. i-ACTIVSENSE technology utilizes milliwave radars and cameras to sense and identify potential hazards. This system does everything from automatically controlling the vehicle speed to maintain a safe distance from other vehicles on the freeway to assist the driver via lane detection and lane departure warning features.

Technology

In addition, Pre-Crash Safety Technologies reduce damage and increase passenger safety in the case of an unavoidable collision. Finally, the SKYACTIV-BODY provides a lightweight frame with improved rigidity for superior shock dispersal upon impact and advanced crash safety performance.

Each 2017 Mazda model falls into the elite category of ultra-safe vehicles, when equipped with optional front crash-prevention and specific headlights. Whether you are planning to cruise solo or with your family, there is no safer way to do it than behind the wheel of a Mazda.

EVERY. SINGLE. MODEL.

Other automakers get lucky every once in a while and score a Top Safety Pick+ for one or two of the models, but, when every single vehicle you engineer and manufacture has earned that sought-after ranking, it's not luck-it's superiority
