The all-new Mazda CX-80 has achieved a maximum five-star rating by Euro NCAP in its latest series of tests.
Mazda’s new seven-seat flagship SUV scored 92% in the Adult Occupancy category, and 88% for Child Occupancy.
It also secured an 84% score in the area of Vulnerable Road Users protection.
The Mazda CX-80’s outstanding 92% score in Adult Occupancy included full marks in both the Lateral and Rear Impact tests, with a satisfactory level of protection recognized in the full-width rigid barrier Frontal Impact test.
In both the side barrier and more severe side pole impact, protection of all critical body areas was good, leading to a maximum score in this part of the assessment.
In the Child Occupancy category, Mazda’s new SUV also achieved maximum points in both Frontal and Lateral Impact for crash test performance based on six- and 10-year-old children.
The correct installation of child seats – CRS Installation Check – also received full marks, leading to an excellent combined score of 88%.
The all-new CX-80 scored an impressive 84% in the Vulnerable Road Users category.
The autonomous emergency braking system’s (AEB) response to pedestrians both in front and to the rear of the car was good, as was its performance in tests of its reaction to cyclists, including protection against ‘dooring’ – where a door is suddenly opened in the patch of a cyclist approaching from behind.
