To earn these esteemed awards, vehicles must achieve top ratings in IIHS's front and side crash tests, pedestrian front crash prevention assessments and come with standard acceptable- or good-rated headlights. With each year IIHS strengthens the award criteria, making the 2025 awards program the toughest yet.
Mazda has risen to the top through outstanding performance in IIHS's newest crash test that requires heightened rear seat occupant protection, with all tested models earning a top, Good rating. It was accomplished through the addition of rear seat belt pretensioners and load limiters and advanced airbags to our already robust structures, which Mazda proudly offers as standard equipment across all models. For Mazda, making safer cars is about more than just protecting the people riding in them. In our approach to advanced crash avoidance technologies, Mazda has also ensured that our crash avoidance systems are tuned to consider pedestrians in a variety of lighting conditions.
