Mazda CX-5 Achieves 5-Star Euro NCAP Safety Rating - Family SUV Confidence Comes as Standard
When choosing a family SUV, safety is often at the top of the priority list. That's why it's reassuring to know that the Mazda CX-5 has achieved the highest possible 5-star safety rating from Euro NCAP, one of the world's most respected independent vehicle safety organisations.
Combining advanced safety technology, intelligent driver assistance systems and robust crash protection, the Mazda CX-5 continues to set the standard for confidence behind the wheel.
Euro NCAP's testing programme evaluates how vehicles perform in a variety of real-world accident scenarios, from frontal impacts and side collisions to pedestrian protection and crash avoidance technology.
The Mazda CX-5 impressed throughout the assessment, demonstrating strong occupant protection and advanced systems designed to help drivers avoid accidents altogether.
During frontal offset testing, the passenger compartment remained stable, with good protection recorded for the driver and front passenger. Side impact testing delivered particularly strong results, with the CX-5 scoring maximum points in the side barrier test.
For families, this means confidence that the vehicle has been engineered to protect occupants in a wide range of collision scenarios.
One of the standout areas of the Mazda CX-5's assessment was child safety.
The CX-5 achieved maximum points for protecting both 6 and 10-year-old child occupants in frontal and side impact testing, highlighting its suitability as a family vehicle.
Additional child safety features include:
For parents, these technologies offer added reassurance every time they set off.

The Mazda CX-5 doesn't just look after those inside the vehicle.
Euro NCAP testing found strong protection for pedestrians and cyclists, with excellent results across multiple impact zones and advanced detection systems helping reduce the likelihood of collisions.
Particularly impressive was the CX-5's performance in cyclist detection testing, including scenarios involving "dooring" incidents where a vehicle door is opened into the path of an approaching cyclist.
The system also achieved full marks for its response to motorcyclists.
Beyond crash testing and technology, the Mazda CX-5 has been designed with everyday practicality and family usability in mind.
Features such as emergency eCall assistance, whiplash protection systems, secondary collision prevention technology and vehicle escape functionality in the event of submersion all contribute towards the vehicle's comprehensive safety package.
These are features that many drivers hope they'll never need, but which can make a significant difference when they matter most.
