The first-ever Mazda CX-30 has secured 5 star rating in Euro NCAP crash tests. The more impressive part is, of course, the crossover has achieved a near-perfect 99 percent score for Adult Occupant Protection. In addition to the passive safety systems, the tested model included standard active safety features such as Autonomous Emergency Braking and Lane Assist System.
The CX-30 was subjected to frontal offset impact, frontal full width impact, side crash, and pole crash tests.
Adult Occupant
For Adult Occupant Protection, the report said that the passenger compartment of the CX-30 remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of both the driver and passenger.
In the full-width rigid barrier test, the protection of both the driver and rear passenger was good for all critical body areas, and the CX-30 scored maximum points in this test. Likewise, in both the side barrier impact and the more severe side pole test the CX-30 scored maximum points, with good protection all-round. Tests on the front seats and head-restraints demonstrated good protection against whiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end collision, the report added.
Child Occupant
As for Child Occupant Protection, the report said that in the frontal offset test, protection of all critical body areas was good or adequate for both dummies, with the exception of the neck of the 10-year old, for which readings of tensile forces indicated marginal protection. In the side barrier impact, protection was good for all critical parts of the body and the CX-30 scored full points for child occupant protection in this test. Full report here.
