Criteria to Be Awarded Top Safety Pick or Top Safety Pick+
To earn these 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. IIHS strengthens the award criteria each year, making the 2025 awards program wins even more impressive! 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 the already robust structures, which Mazda proudly offers as standard equipment across all models.
Plus, making safer cars is about more than just protecting the people riding in them. In Mazda’s approach to advanced crash avoidance technologies, they have also ensured that crash avoidance systems are tuned to consider pedestrians in a variety of lighting conditions.
