Mazda CX-5 scores five-star Euro NCAP safety rating

The Mazda CX-5 has been awarded the maximum five-star safety rating by the European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP), where the result will be shared with the Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP) as well.

The SUV managed to score 95% in the adult occupant test, where it was noted to offer good protection in the various individual tests (frontal offset, side barrier, etc.). In other tests, the CX-5 scored 80% in the child occupant test and 78% in the pedestrian protection test.

In the Safety Assist test category, the CX-5 scored 59% thanks to its standard-fit autonomous emergency braking system. The system worked at highway speeds and performed well in tests of its functionality, with all collisions avoided or mitigated.

The latest CX-5 was first introduced at the 2016 Los Angeles Auto Show, and has since arrived in countries like Indonesia, Japan and Singapore. It is set to make its launch debut in Malaysia soon, based on the official price list making its way around the internet recently.

      Ya, they always try to mislead by using this way. And the spec in Malaysia is mod for Malaysian which the quality is junk. Even CBU unit is also as junk as CKD. I dare to say so because I own a Mazda CX5 2.5 CBU. Lately gearbox problem and need to be fixed.

        Hahahaa. Dei.. u think it’s so cheap just to downgrade quality ah? Who gonna produce cheaper low quality parts like u said? Mazda sales numbers are too small for the cheaper parts like u said. If they make parts here probably cost even more.

        N also do u all think in other countries they sell only high spec cars ah?

        Then Buy Proton better still have more safety features and Proton also scores five stars safety rating. Don’t buy Perodua cause Perodua doesn’t have safety features and also Perodua only scores four stars safety rating.

    Hyundai Tuscon is also 5 star NCAP with much higher spec for a lot less RM if you get the 12 month old unit
