2023 MAZDA IIHS Top Safety Awards

 
Are Mazdas safe? The Internation Institute for Highway Safety seems to think so, as it has awarded every single Mazda model that was tested in 2023 with a TOP SAFETY PICK award. Take a moment to learn about which specific models received the award, and what requirements for the award are. Then, fill out a pre-approval and contact Hello Mazda of Valencia to test drive the latest MAZDA lineup at our showroom near Santa Clarita.

Recipients of the 2023 MAZDA Safety Awards

The 2023 IIHS top safety awards have been granted to every single Mazda model that was tested this year. Mazdas are safe—among the safest vehicles on Valencia roads today. Here are the models that were awarded the TOP SAFETY PICK or TOP SAFETY PICK+ designation:

• 2023 MAZDA3 Sedan
• 2023 MAZDA3 Hatchback
• 2023 MAZDA CX-30
• 2023 MAZDA CX-5
• 2023 MAZDA CX-50
• 2023 MAZDA CX-9

What’s more, the IIHS introduced much more stringent requirements for achieving winning the TOP SAFETY PICK rating. As of 2021, contending models must provide much better pedestrian crash prevention systems, better side crash protection, and headlight performance. As for the new side crash test, it subjects vehicles to 82% more kinetic energy than previous years.

One of the chief reasons for the 2023 Mazda safety awards from the IIHS include the i-ACTIVSENSE® system.
