Safety Ratings For The All New 2024 Mazda Models

Prioritizing Protection: The 2024 Mazda Safety Commitment

At Hiley Mazda of Fort Worth, we believe your safety is paramount. The New 2024 Mazda model lineup combines advanced engineering with innovative safety technologies, making these vehicles an ideal choice for those who prioritize safety. We invite you to explore the safety ratings and features of the 2024 Mazda models to understand how Mazda’s commitment to safety translates into peace of mind on the road.

Understanding Safety Ratings

Vehicle safety ratings are determined through comprehensive evaluations conducted by organizations such as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The NHTSA is a federal agency responsible for assessing vehicle safety standards, while the IIHS is a nonprofit organization funded by insurance companies that focuses on research and education to reduce crashes. These organizations employ rigorous testing protocols to evaluate vehicle safety in various scenarios, such as frontal crashes, rollover resistance, and other safety features. In crash tests, they test vehicles in controlled collisions to assess their performance in protecting occupants and minimizing injuries. They evaluate criteria such as structural integrity, restraint systems — such as seatbelts and air bags, and injury measures to determine how well a vehicle withstands crash forces. Ratings from these tests provide consumers with valuable information about a vehicle’s safety performance, which helps them make informed decisions when purchasing or leasing a vehicle. A higher safety rating indicates a vehicle’s ability to protect occupants in the event of a crash, reassuring you about your safety on the road.

2024 Mazda CX-5 Safety Overview

The 2024 Mazda CX-5 has earned the coveted IIHS Top Safety Pick+ award. To receive this award, tested vehicles need to earn top marks in a total of three frontal crash tests and a side-impact test. They need to have a rating of acceptable or good for headlights on all trim levels, and the front crash prevention system needs to pass both day and night vehicle-to-pedestrian tests. The CX-5 received a rating of good for crashworthiness, seat belt reminders, and headlights. It also received a five-star overall safety rating from the NHTSA. The vehicle comes equipped with Mazda’s i-ACTIVSENSE suite of advanced safety technologies to help prevent accidents and protect occupants. It includes features such as the Advanced Smart City Brake Support system with pedestrian detection and available traffic jam assist. It also comes with lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, and Smart Brake Support for maximum stopping power.

2024 Mazda3 Safety Insights

The 2024 Mazda3, available in both sedan and hatchback configurations, showcases impressive safety ratings and key features designed to protect passengers in various driving scenarios. In crash tests conducted by organizations such as the NHTSA and the IIHS, the Mazda3 has consistently earned top marks for its crashworthiness and safety technology. The four-door hatchback was voted a 2024 Top Safety Pick+. Both the sedan and hatchback versions of the 2024 Mazda3 typically received high scores in the frontal, side, and rollover crash tests conducted by the NHTSA. Similarly, the IIHS awarded the Mazda3 with top ratings in various crashworthiness tests, including small overlap front, moderate overlap front, side, roof strength, and head restraints and seat evaluations. The 2024 Mazda3 is also equipped with Mazda’s i-ACTIVSENSE suite of advanced safety features.

2024 Mazda CX-90 Safety Ratings

The 2024 Mazda CX-90 is rated a Top Safety Pick+ by the IIHS. The large four-door SUV mostly received ratings of good across the board. With its strong focus on safety, the seven- or eight-seater CX-90 is an excellent choice for families. It’s built with a rigid body structure and incorporates high-strength materials to provide enhanced protection for occupants in case of an accident. It’s also equipped with a comprehensive array of air bags throughout the cabin. This includes front air bags for drivers and front passengers, side-impact air bags for the front and rear outboard occupants, and side curtain air bags that extend to all three rows of seating. Other safety features for families include stability control, driver attention alert, and smart braking systems.

Advanced Safety Technologies Across the Mazda Lineup

The 2024 Mazda lineup features a range of advanced safety technologies designed to enhance driver awareness and prevent accidents. Common features across the lineup include adaptive cruise control, which helps maintain a safe following distance from the vehicle ahead of you by adjusting speed automatically, and lane-keeping assist, which helps prevent you from unintentionally drifting out of a lane by providing steering assistance. Automatic emergency braking is a standard feature that detects potential frontal collisions and automatically applies the brakes to mitigate or prevent the impact. Blind-spot monitoring alerts you to vehicles in your blind spot while changing lanes to reduce the risk of side collisions. These advanced safety technologies work together to provide added confidence and peace of mind on the road. By enhancing driver awareness and providing assistance in critical situations — such as maintaining a safe following distance, staying within the lane, and avoiding collisions with vehicles in blind spots — these features help keep you and your passengers safe.
