Mazda's dedication to safety has also earned the CX-30 a 5-Star Overall Safety Rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and the IIHS awarded it top honors as a 2024 TOP SAFETY PICK+. Keep reading to find out about some of the features that make the CX-30 one of the safest vehicles in its class. more 1. Blind Spot Monitoring The CX-30 helps drivers make safer lane changes by using sensors to detect vehicles that are in or approaching your blind spot. A warning indicator light lets you know when a vehicle is detected. If you activate your turn signal in the direction of a detected vehicle, the warning light will flash, and you'll hear a warning sound letting you know that it may not be safe to change lanes. 2. i-Activ All-Wheel Drive Road conditions can change unexpectedly, so the CX-30's standard i-Activ All-Wheel Drive is constantly monitoring the road and shifting power to the wheels with the most traction.

Smart Brake Support The CX-30 uses a camera and sensors to detect vehicles, pedestrians, bicycles, and motorcycles in the path ahead of your vehicle. If the system predicts the possibility of a collision, you'll receive audible and visible warnings so you can react to prevent a collision.
