2025 Mazda Models Earn IIHS Top Safety Pick+ Honors
Safety isn’t just a feature — it’s a commitment. Mazda’s dedication to protecting drivers and passengers shines through in the latest IIHS safety evaluations. For 2025, several Mazda models earned the prestigious Top Safety Pick+ designation, solidifying Mazda’s reputation for building vehicles you can trust.
Not every Mazda made the Top Safety Pick+ list this year, but that doesn’t mean they fall short on safety. Every Mazda is built with smart design, innovative technology, and serious protection at its core.
What the IIHS Safety Awards Really Mean
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) puts vehicles through a series of tough crash tests and safety evaluations each year. These tests measure how well a vehicle protects occupants in different types of crashes, how effective its headlights are, and how well its crash prevention technology works.
To even qualify as a Top Safety Pick, a vehicle must earn high ratings in these areas:
- Strong crashworthiness across multiple crash scenarios
- Available front crash prevention systems that perform well
- Good or acceptable-rated headlights available
But to earn the highest honor — a Top Safety Pick+ — those good or acceptable headlights must come standard across all trims. This small but important detail helps ensure that every buyer gets the same level of protection, no matter which model they choose.
