Mazda wins highest awards for safety

Every 2021 Mazda Model Tested Earns 2021 IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK or TOP SAFETY PICK+ AWARD

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) today announced the winners of its highest awards for safety, the 2021 TOP SAFETY PICK and TOP SAFETY PICK+. All tested Mazda vehicles earned awards for the fifth year in a row. When equipped with optional front crash prevention technology, the 2021 Mazda3, Mazda3 Sport, Mazda6, CX-30, and CX-5 all receive the highest safety designation available from IIHS. CX-9 also receives the agency's top award with standard equipment, and the CX-3 subcompact crossover earns a 2021 TOP SAFETY PICK award when equipped with optional front crash prevention and specific headlights.

To qualify for the 2021 TOP SAFETY PICK award, all Mazda vehicles tested earned good ratings in each of the Institute's six crashworthiness evaluations: moderate overlap front, driver-side small overlap front, passenger-side small overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraint tests. Mazda vehicles also earned advanced or superior ratings for front crash prevention in both vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-pedestrian evaluations, while the "plus" rating is awarded to models where good or acceptable headlights are standard across all trim levels and packages.

"Mazda has an unwavering commitment to safety that extends beyond our vehicles, and informs every decision we make," said Mazda Canada President & CEO David Klan. "Having all of our tested models included on the list for TOP SAFETY PICK and TOP SAFETY PICK+ for five years running is an external proof point that reflects our overall philosophy and we're proud to share this with our owners and fans."
