A 5-Star Safety Rating Built on Mazda Engineering

Euro NCAP's testing programme evaluates vehicles in a wide range of real-world accident scenarios, including frontal impacts, side collisions, pedestrian protection and crash avoidance technologies.

The Mazda6e delivered strong results throughout testing.

The passenger compartment remained stable during frontal impact assessments, while both driver and passenger received good levels of protection across critical body areas. Euro NCAP also identified the Mazda6e as a "benign impact partner", meaning its design helps reduce injury risks for occupants of other vehicles in a collision.

In side impact testing, the Mazda6e achieved maximum points, demonstrating excellent protection in both standard and more severe collision scenarios.

Outstanding Protection for Families

Safety isn't just about those sitting in the front seats.

The Mazda6e achieved maximum scores for child occupant protection, with excellent results recorded for both 6 and 10-year-old child dummies during Euro NCAP testing.

Family-focused safety features include:

• Direct child presence detection system
• Front passenger airbag deactivation for rear-facing child seats
• Clear airbag status indicators
• Compatibility with a wide range of child restraint systems

These technologies help provide reassurance whether you're completing the school run or setting off on a family road trip.

Advanced Technology Working Behind the Scenes

Many of the Mazda6e's safety systems are designed to prevent accidents before they happen.

The vehicle comes equipped with a comprehensive suite of advanced driver assistance technologies, including:

• Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB)
• Lane Keeping Assistance
• Driver Monitoring Systems
• Intelligent Speed Assistance
• Traffic Sign Recognition
• Front and rear seatbelt reminders

Euro NCAP praised the overall performance of the Mazda6e's collision avoidance systems, particularly in vehicle-to-vehicle testing where impacts were successfully avoided or mitigated.

Protecting Pedestrians, Cyclists and Motorcyclists

Modern vehicle safety extends beyond protecting those inside the car.

The Mazda6e's advanced sensor systems are capable of detecting pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists, helping drivers respond more quickly to potential hazards.

Euro NCAP testing highlighted:

• Strong cyclist detection performance
• Effective "dooring" prevention technology
• Good motorcyclist recognition capability
• Autonomous Emergency Braking support for vulnerable road users

These technologies are particularly valuable in busy urban environments where interactions between vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians are increasingly common.

Confidence in Every Journey

The Mazda6e also benefits from a range of additional safety features designed to provide support when it matters most.

These include:

• Advanced eCall emergency assistance
• Secondary collision prevention systems
• Whiplash protection for front and rear occupants
• Vehicle escape functionality in emergency situations

Together, these systems create a comprehensive safety package that complements the Mazda6e's innovative electric powertrain.

Green 4 Motor Company Verdict

The Mazda6e represents far more than Mazda's latest electric vehicle.

Its 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating demonstrates that drivers do not need to choose between innovation and safety. Combining advanced electric vehicle technology, intelligent driver assistance systems and excellent occupant protection, the Mazda6e delivers confidence for every journey.

For drivers looking to embrace electric motoring without compromising on safety, the Mazda6e sets a strong benchmark for the next generation of Mazda vehicles.
