Mazda safety is one of the reasons drivers trust Mazda vehicles every time they get behind the wheel. For the third year in a row, Mazda is leading the industry in TOP SAFETY PICK+ Awards from the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety. Learn what makes these vehicles stand out from the pack at Med Center Mazda.

IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK + Award Winners

The Insurance Institute of Highway Safety awards the TOP SAFETY PICK+ distinction to the vehicles that perform the very best in a range of safety tests and inspections. This year, eight Mazda vehicles across three categories were given the award, making Mazda the market-leader model for safety for the third year in a row. These Mazda models took home the award:

  • MAZDA3 Sedan and MAZDA3 Hatchback
  • MAZDA CX-30
  • MAZDA CX-50
  • MAZDA CX-70 and MAZDA CX-70 PHEV
  • MAZDA CX-90 and MAZDA CX-90 PHEV

MAZDA Safety Features That Stand Out

These vehicles stood out to judges for several reasons. New Mazda models come equipped with standout safety and driver assistance programs like blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, smart brake support, and lane departure warning. These features work in tandem with available i-Activ AWD® to provide proactive safety in a wide range of conditions. Mazda is also committed to providing safety at an accessible price point, which is why you’ll find the i-Activsense® suite standard across the 2026 Mazda lineup.
