With its powerful performance, practical utility, and plush interior, the 2024 Mazda CX-30 is a subcompact SUV that has attracted plenty of positive attention. 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.
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. Whether you encounter rain, snow, or off-road terrain, you’ll have more control behind the wheel, so you can arrive safely.
3. Lane Departure Warning System
When you’re driving at about 40 mph or faster, the CX-30 can help you avoid danger by warning you if you’re unintentionally drifting out of your lane. The Lane Departure Warning System uses a camera to detect lane markings and issues visible and audible alerts to get the driver’s attention. If you don’t correct course, the Lane-Keep Assist System can apply corrective steering to keep you safely in your original lane.
4. 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. If your response isn’t quick enough, Smart Brake Support will automatically apply the brakes for you to prevent or reduce the impact of a potential forward collision.
