Mazda has long established a reputation for engineering exceptionally safe vehicles. The 2026 Mazda CX-5—a charming and spirited compact SUV—continues this tradition as a recipient of the IIHS Top Safety Pick. This milestone recognition marks Mazda's 100th IIHS Top Safety Award. If you are searching for a driver-focused crossover that does not compromise on protection, the 2026 CX-5 stands out as a premier choice.

Award-Winning Safety

The 2026 Mazda CX-5 comes packed with a comprehensive suite of protective technologies right from the entry trim. Standard safety equipment includes forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking to help prevent potential impacts, alongside adaptive cruise control to maintain safe following distances. Intersection collision mitigation alerts you to cross-traffic hazards and can apply the brakes autonomously if needed. Every CX-5 also features blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, rear automatic braking, and a driver fatigue monitoring system. Completing the standard package are front and rear parking sensors, lane-departure warning, and lane-keep assist to keep you centered in your lane.

For buyers looking for even more driver-assist technology, upper trims like the 2.5 S Premium Plus add advanced protective features. This trim equips adaptive headlights that pivot into curves for enhanced night vision, a 360-degree view camera for tight spaces, traffic jam assist for effortless stop-and-go commuting, and automated lane change assist when the turn signal is engaged.
