Mazda's 2025 Safety Success: Leading The Way To Safer Roads

When you choose a Mazda model as your next travel companion, you're selecting a car or SUV lauded by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). This government program consistently rates Mazda vehicles as some of the safest on the road, and that remains true for 2025. Nearly every single model on the Mazda lineup, outside of the Mazda MX-5 Miata and the Mazda CX-5, received the highly prestigious 2025 Top Safety Pick+ Award.¹

This award has stricter, higher requirements than the 2025 Top Safety Pick designation, and considering that most of the Mazda stable has achieved these high honors, you can have peace of mind and confidence for every drive. Let's take a brief look at all of the models that won the 2025 Top Safety Pick+ title given by the IIHS. Then, if you see an iteration that piques your interest, we at McGee Mazda Claremont will be happy to introduce you to it through a test drive.

2025 Top Safety Pick+ Winners: Small Cars

The 2025 Top Safety Pick+ award requires vehicles to have excellent crashworthiness (or the ability to direct the impact of a crash away from passengers), proficient prevention technology (such as headlamps or automatic brakes for vehicles and pedestrians), and safe seat belts and child restraints. The Mazda3 has them in spades, earning a place on the list for both variants:

• MAZDA3 HATCHBACK¹
• MAZDA3 SEDAN¹

Notably, the IIHS awarded the Mazda3 hatchback and sedan with a "G+" rating for LATCH ease of use,² making it one of the greatest options for a driver wanting to secure their youngest children on the road.

2025 Top Safety Pick+ Winners: Small SUVs

Safety is one of the primary reasons to drive an SUV. The larger size, additional passenger space, and higher capability make it the obvious choice for a growing family. That's why both of the small-sized Mazda SUVs made it on the list:

• MAZDA CX-30¹
• MAZDA CX-50¹

The Mazda CX-30 exceeds all expectations. It received the highest rank ("G") in all categories and a "G+" in LATCH ease of use.³ The Mazda CX-50 doesn't have quite the same level of prestige, but it still earned its 2025 Top Safety Pick+ award with its structural stability, sensors, and restraints.⁴

2025 Top Safety Pick+ Winners: Midsize SUVs

The Mazda CX-70 and Mazda CX-90 each boast exceptional dimension specs and fantastic engines. However, they pair those innovations with fantastic safety technology, which, once again, lands these Mazda SUVs with the honor of being 2025 Top Safety Pick+ choices:

• MAZDA CX-70¹
• MAZDA CX-70 PHEV¹
• MAZDA CX-90¹
• MAZDA CX-90 PHEV¹

All four models in this category received high marks for both durability and seat belts.¹ They also have far above-average crash avoidance and mitigation, with all categories reaching "Good" or "Acceptable."¹ Thanks to standard features like Blind Spot Detection and Lane Departure Prevention, Mazda SUVs seamlessly integrate innovative designs with modern sensors.
