Standard and Available 2023 MAZDA CX-5 Safety Features

The Mazda i-ACTIVSENSE® safety system has been designed from the ground up to maximize your safety and protection on the road. There are plenty of standard features that come with every Mazda CX-5 and a few available capabilities you can add on for an extra layer of security. Here’s a selection of what you can expect:

  • Blind Spot Monitoring: If a car drifts into your blind spot while you’re on the Normal roads, your Mazda CX-5 will alert you with chimes and visual cues.
  • Rear Cross Traffic Alert: Stay alert as you back out into the street thanks to this technology, which monitors the flow of traffic and lets you know if a car is crossing your path.
  • Mazda Radar Cruise Control: If you’re on the highway, enable this smart cruise control feature to maintain a set speed and minimum safe distance from the vehicle in front of you. 
  • Adaptive Front Lighting: These smart LED headlights have been designed to swivel and pivot with your vehicle, illuminating potential hazards that you might not otherwise have noticed.
  • Smart Braking: The smart automatic braking system is capable of detecting when you’re coming too close to a slow or stopped vehicle, and will apply the brakes automatically if necessary. For an extra layer of security, you can add available reverse braking as well!
  • Lane Departure Warning & Lane Keep Assist: If you find yourself accidentally drifting out of your lane when you’re on the road, your Mazda CX-5 will give you an audio-visual warning. Meanwhile, Lane Keep Assist makes minor steering connections to keep you aligned with your lane. 
  • Driver Attention Alert: This available feature keeps tabs on your driving habits and will activate a warning sound if it detects that you’re fatigued or inattentive.

2023 MAZDA CX-5 Safety Ratings

Now that we’ve gone over the Mazda CX-5 safety features, let’s see what the critics are saying! The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) is one of the two leading organizations rating vehicle safety and crashworthiness–the other, the National Highway Traffic Safety Association (NHTSA) hasn’t rated the Mazda CX-5 in a few years, so we’re going to look at the IIHS alone. 

While the ratings for the 2023 Mazda CX-5 aren’t out yet, the IIHS awarded last year’s model their highest honor, the Top Safety Pick+ award! The following systems on the Mazda CX-5 received the top-level rating of “Good” (there are four: Good, Acceptable, Marginal, and Poor):

  • Small overlap front: driver-side
  • Small overlap front: passenger-side
  • Moderate overlap front
  • Side: original test
  • Side: updated test
  • Roof strength
  • Head restraints & seats
  • Headlights
  • Front crash prevention: vehicle-to-vehicle
  • Front crash prevention: vehicle-to-pedestrian
