Top Safety Pick+ Honors 3 Mazda Vehicles: IIHS

Mazda North American Operations recently announced that three of its vehicles are once again rated by the independent Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) as Top Safety Pick+ award winners for 2017.

 

 

 

The 2017 Mazda CX-3, Mazda3 and 5-door and midsize Mazda6 family sedan each aced a number of collision safety tests. The vehicles were subjected to a battery of tests. The tests included roof strength and head restraint tests. Also performed were side impact and overlap front tests. The vehicles had to earn a rating of “GOOD”. The 2017 Mazda CX-3, the Mazda3 and the Mazda6 also each earned a rating of ADVANCED or SUPERIOR. This was for front-crash prevention. This is courtesy of their available Smart City Brake Support and Smart Brake Support automatic emergency braking systems.

 

Each of the vehicles tests were also required to pass tough headlight evaluations. They had to pass the test in order to to earn the highest Top Safety Pick+ designation. The vehicles were designed from the ground up using SKYACTIV™ Technology. Of course, this is Mazda’s suite of technologies that includes fuel-efficient engines and transmissions. It also includes a lightweight but strong chassis and suspension designs that balance comfort and performance.

 

Thanks to their available adaptive LED headlights as well as ultra-rigid SKYACTIV™-CHASSIS technology and a number of other unique features available in Mazda vehicles, these three standouts continue to lead their segments in safety evaluations. All of us here at Beach Mazda would have to agree. The cars certainly do standout!
