Driving can be so unpredictable, making it one of the most dangerous activities we do each day. Luckily, the safest Mazda cars are also some of the safest vehicles available. Heritage Mazda Towson illustrates how Mazda builds safe cars and what makes them so safe.
IIHS Top Safety Picks
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) is a nonprofit organization that evaluates and tests new vehicles to limit accidents and injuries. The vehicles are also rated, and those that pass with acceptable or good ratings are awarded an IIHS Top Safety Pick award. The safest vehicles available, which must pass the strictest criteria, are given an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ award. They are rated on pedestrian front crash prevention, vehicle-to-vehicle front crash prevention, headlights, and more.
MAZDA Award Winners
Eight 2026 Mazda models were named IIHS Top Safety Pick+ award winners, making it the third consecutive year for Mazda to have more winners than any other automaker. This adds to its impressive history, which includes 99 IIHS Top Safety Pick award winners since 2008, including 73 IIHS Top Safety Pick+ award winners. This year’s winners include:
- MAZDA3 Sedan
