MAZDA Earns 100th IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK Award

You’re almost certainly aware that new Mazda models lead the industry in safety. After all, our vehicles have just earned their 100^th award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS)! If you’re ready to drive a safety-inspired vehicle, come peruse the inventory at Bakersfield Mazda.

About the Award

IIHS first started giving out its TOP SAFETY PICK Awards in 2008. Recently, the 2026 Mazda CX-5 was named an IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ Award winner, marking the 100^th Mazda model to receive recognition from IIHS. Other new Mazda models named to the list include the Mazda3 Sedan, Mazda3 Hatchback, Mazda CX-30, Mazda CX-50, Mazda CX-50, Mazda CX-70, and Mazda CX-90. Several of our SUV models also include award-winning hybrid or plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) variants.

Safety Features on New MAZDA Models

Several factors contribute to Mazda’s ongoing safety success. For example, new Mazda models come with the i-Activsense® safety suite. The package includes innovations such as:

• Adaptive Cruise Control
• Blind Spot Monitoring
• Lane Departure Warning
• Rear Cross-Traffic Alert

In addition to these technologies, these vehicles are carefully designed with your safety in mind. The Skyactiv®-Body, SRS airbag systems, and anti-intrusion brake pedal mitigate injury and damage in case of collision. Meanwhile, engineering feats like G-Vectoring Control Plus® and i-Activ AWD® give you the handling and road grip you need to drive safely mile after mile, day after day.
