Mazda is known as one of the safest cars on the road but it still continues to impress experts by its performance and safety record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a list of the safest 2020 model-year cars compiled and released by the Institute for Highway Safety, five models are from Mazda and all are given the highest Top Safety Pick+ award by the institution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the models is the 2020 Mazda 3, which also received five-star ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in a frontal crash, side crash, and rollover tests, making the car eligible for the highest government safety ratings possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We are proud that the 2020 Mazda3 has earned NHTSA’s top rating for crashworthiness,” Mazda North American President Jeff Guyton said. “Mazda’s i-Activsense advanced safety features on the Mazda3 help provide even more peace of mind for the driver, helping enhance our customer’s driving experience.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The crash avoidance systems recommended by the NHTSA are among the features that earned the car the recognition. These include forward-collision warning, lane departure warning, crash imminent braking, and dynamic brake support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also included are the standard tech from the brand’s i-Activsense safety systems such as smart brake support, radar cruise control with stop and go, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, driver attention alert, as well as automatic on\/off LED headlights, high beam control, and rain-sensing windshield wipers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NHTSA recognition bolsters Mazda3’s credentials, following the Top Safety Pick+ award it earned from the IIHS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the sedan and hatchback models of the Mazda3 were redesigned for the 2019 model year. Unfortunately, the current generation of the vehicle is experiencing below-average sales performance with 2019 sales down by 21.5%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These safety awards could be the publicity the model needs to attract customers who are all for championing safety.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
