Mazda’s Commitment to Safety Shines: CX-90 Secures Prestigious IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ Award

Culver City Mazda is excited to share the remarkable news that the first-ever 2024 Mazda CX-90 and its Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) counterpart have earned the prestigious IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). This recognition underscores Mazda’s unwavering dedication to safety and its commitment to setting new standards in crashworthiness and crash avoidance technologies.

IIHS President David Harkey commended Mazda’s outstanding achievement, stating, “The stellar performance of these two new SUVs is a testament to Mazda’s commitment to safety. We strengthened our award requirements in 2023, and Mazda has stepped up to meet the challenge.”

To qualify for the TOP SAFETY PICK+ award, a vehicle must excel in various rigorous tests. This includes earning good ratings in the driver-side small overlap front, passenger-side small overlap front, original moderate overlap front, and updated side tests. Furthermore, acceptable or good headlights must be standard across all trims, and a front crash prevention system with advanced or superior ratings in both daytime and nighttime vehicle-to-pedestrian evaluations must be available.

Tom Donnelly, President and CEO of Mazda North American Operations, expressed immense pride in the accomplishment, stating, “Safety is a top priority at Mazda and our engineers work tirelessly to continually improve our crashworthiness and crash avoidance technologies to meet and exceed increasingly rigorous testing standards. We are extremely proud to have the 2024 CX-90 and CX-90 PHEV achieve TOP SAFETY PICK+ for 2023.”

This accolade joins the ranks of other Mazda models that have already earned the 2023 IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK award. The Mazda3 Sedan, Mazda3 Hatchback, CX-30, CX-5, and CX-50 have all demonstrated Mazda’s unwavering commitment to safety across various segments.
