Mazda CX-30 earns IIHS Top Safety Pick award

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has announced that the 2020 Mazda CX-30 has earned its 2020 Top Safety Pick award when equipped with specific head lights.

The CX-30 joins the Mazda CX-9, when equipped with specific head lights, as a Top Safety Pick for 2020. To qualify for the 2020 Top Safety Pick award, the CX-30 earned good ratings in all six IIHS crashworthiness evaluations, including the driver-side small overlap front, passenger-side small overlap front, moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraint tests. It also needed advanced or superior ratings for both vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-pedestrian front crash prevention, as well as an acceptable or good head light rating.

Mazda's i-Activsense is an umbrella term covering a series of advanced safety technologies which make use of detection devices such as milliwave radars and cameras. They include active safety technologies that support safer driving by helping the driver to recognise potential hazards, and pre-crash safety technologies which help to avert collisions or reduce their severity in situations where they cannot be avoided.
