The Safest Cars in 2023: Mazda IIHS Safety Ratings

The Safest Cars in 2023: Mazda IIHS Safety Ratings

Whether you are traveling across the country with your family, commuting to work, or gifting your child their very first car - safety matters. Accidents happen, and you want to ensure your vehicle can protect you and your loved ones. Thankfully, Mazda prioritizes safety with every vehicle they create. In fact, every tested Mazda earned the 2023 IIHS Top Safety Pick Award!

What is the IIHS?

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, otherwise known as the IIHS, is an organization that accesses and researches highway safety. As vehicle manufacturers release new cars, the IIHS determines how safe they are for drivers and passengers. The IIHS is an excellent resource that provides in-depth breakdowns of vehicle safety and allows consumers to make well-informed purchase decisions. 

Every vehicle is ranked on a five-star rating, five stars being the safest and one being the least. The IIHS thoroughly explains each ranking to help consumers understand their safety expectations and each vehicle's results. Additionally, vehicles with stellar safety ratings will receive the IIHS Top Safety Pick Award. This means if you choose to invest in one of the tested 2023 Mazdas, you can rest assured knowing your car will protect you in times of need.

What are the Criteria for the 2023 IIHS Top Safety Pick Award?


Each vehicle must satisfy five safety categories to receive the 2023 IIHS Top Safety Pick Award, and all tested Mazdas achieved the necessary ratings for the following criteria: 


  • Driver/passenger-side small overlap front tests

  • Moderate overlap front test

  • Updated side test

  • Headlights standard

  • Daytime vehicle-to-pedestrian front crash prevention
