The latest generation Mazda CX-5 has earned a top 5-star safety rating from the respected EURO NCAP, showcasing its advanced protective capabilities. The vehicle particularly excelled in road user protection, scoring an impressive 93%. This high mark places it ahead of many luxury vehicles and even Tesla models in safeguarding pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists.

The CX-5's adult occupant protection scored 90%, with child occupant protection at 89% and safety assist systems at 83%. These scores contribute to its overall maximum rating. The advanced i-Activsense driver assistance system, including its ability to recognize different road users and mitigate collision impact, is a key factor in its strong performance.

There are also reports that Mazda plans to voluntarily submit the vehicle for TNCAP crash testing to further highlight its safety credentials.
