ANCAP Awards The Mazda CX-60 Top Marks For Safety
Posted: 22/08/2023
MELBOURNE, Australia – The Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP) has awarded the First-Ever Mazda CX-60 its full five-star safety rating.
ANCAP praised Mazda’s all-new premium mid-sized sports utility vehicle (SUV) for its all-round performance when tested against its strict 2020-2022 assessment criteria.
The First-Ever Mazda CX-60 achieved record scores for Child Occupant Protection (93 percent) and Vulnerable Road User Protection (88 percent).
The CX-60 was awarded full scores for protection of the driver and child occupants during the Side Impact Test, and to the driver in the severe Oblique Pole Test.
ANCAP also awarded full points for the effectiveness of the centre airbag fitted to the front seating row, which is designed to reduce occupant-to-occupant contact and occupant-to-vehicle contact.
SAFETY BY DESIGN
A variety of innovative technologies underpin the safety performance of the CX-60. These include Mazda’s Skyactiv Multi-Solution Scalable Architecture, the company’s latest structural and body concept which combines advanced mechanical design with high-strength materials, including 1,800 MPa-grade metals. In addition, a suite of advanced onboard safety systems support drivers and occupants, some of which are Mazda-firsts. These include Smart Brake Support, which uses a forward-sensing camera to help reduce the likelihood of an accident by applying the vehicle’s brakes if needed, and See-Through View, which displays an image on the instrument panel screen that lets the driver effectively see through the front and rear corners of the CX-60 when maneuvering.
