    The 2022 Mazda CX-30 is above average compared to all vehicles.

    Comparison to all vehicles.  This plot shows RSC safety scores on the horizontal axis vs. the number of vehicles with each safety score (depicted by bar height and percentages at the bottom). Colors reflect vehicle safety, ranging from red (not that safe) to green (safer). For reference, a score of 0 implies a 0.15% chance of driver death (13% chance of driver injury) over 15 years, and a score of 100 reflects a 0.016% chance (1.4% chance of driver injury). The 2022 Mazda CX-30 has a score of 85, implying a 0.036% chance of driver death (3.2% chance of injury).

    We estimate that the 2022 Mazda CX-30 has a vehicle lifetime fatality chance of 0.0356% and a vehicle lifetime injury chance of 4.0693%, meaning the average driver has a 0.0356% chance of dying in an accident if they drive the car under regular conditions for fifteen years, and a 4.0693% chance of being injured.

    Compared to the average vehicle, the 2022 Mazda CX-30 is 24% less likely to result in a fatal accident. Compared to other suvs, the 2022 Mazda CX-30 is 12% less likely to result in a fatal accident.

    Active safety features with Mazda's i-ACTIVSENSE greatly enhance occupant safety by reducing the likelihood of a crash. An active safety system that is standard on the 2022 Mazda CX-30 is Forward Obstruction Warning with Smart City Brake Support / Smart Brake Support. Some safety features are optional on the 2022 Mazda CX-30--- although they add to the cost, one should consider the benefits of Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) and Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM).

    Some advanced safety features --- while not cutting edge --- can still improve vehicle safety. Optional High-Beam Control System (HBC) automatically switches high beam headlights off when oncoming traffic is approaching and turns them back on when there aren't any vehicles ahead. Optional side mirror turn signals can help when you don't see a vehicle in your blind spot, by alerting them to your intention to switch lanes, which allows the other driver to avoid an accident with you.

    And it is safer than many comparable models.
