With their smart designs and advanced Mazda safety features, it’s no secret that these models are some of the safest on the road. Now, they have even more awards to show for it. Tumminia Mazda shares all the exciting details.
IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK Awards
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to reducing vehicle collisions in an effort to minimize deaths, injuries, and damage. Each year, they evaluate new vehicles and put them through crash tests to see which ones are the safest. If they meet their strict criteria, they award them with an IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK Award, while the standouts receive an IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ Award.
MAZDA Winners
For the third consecutive year, Mazda has more models named as award winners than any other automaker. There were eight Mazda models that earned an IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ Award. This feat adds to their exceptional history, which includes 99 IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK awards since 2008, including 73 TOP SAFETY PICK+ Award winners. The 2026 winners include:
- MAZDA3 Hatchback

Notable Safety Features
Mazda has made it a priority to be leaders in terms of safety with the i-Activsense® suite of safety features. Mazda models are designed to mitigate collisions, rather than just protect you when one occurs. Their crash-avoidance features helped them meet the IIHS criteria, which includes a new focus on pedestrian crash prevention, crash-avoidance performance, and more. These features include Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Smart Brake Support, and Lane Departure Warning.
