Mazda drives safety home with the most IIHS awards in 2025

Roads can be unpredictable, but Mazda is making sure drivers have one less thing to worry about. Mazda has received eight IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ awards, making it the brand with the most top safety ratings in 2025. The models that earned the highest award include the Mazda3 Sedan, Mazda3 Hatchback, CX-30, CX-50 (including the Hybrid), CX-70, CX-70 PHEV, CX-90, and CX-90 PHEV. With stricter testing this year, Mazda’s achievement really shows how it protects drivers and passengers on the road.

To qualify for the TOP SAFETY PICK+ award, a vehicle must perform well in front and side crash tests, have strong pedestrian crash prevention systems, and come with headlights rated as acceptable or good. This year, the IIHS also added new rear seat safety requirements, pushing carmakers to improve passenger protection in the back seats. Mazda excelled in these tests, with its vehicles earning Good ratings due to rear seatbelt pretensioners, load limiters, and advanced airbags, all of which are standard across its models.

Aside from crash protection, Mazda showed that it also works on preventing accidents before they happen. Its advanced driver assistance systems are designed to detect pedestrians even in low-light conditions, helping drivers avoid potential collisions, which further shows Mazda’s goal of reducing road accidents and making driving safer for everyone.
