    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 2023 Mazda CX-30 has a score of 84, implying a 0.036% chance of driver death (3.3% chance of injury).

    We estimate that the 2023 Mazda CX-30 has a vehicle lifetime fatality chance of 0.0364% and a vehicle lifetime injury chance of 4.1564%, meaning the average driver has a 0.0364% chance of dying in an accident if they drive the car under regular conditions for fifteen years, and a 4.1564% chance of being injured.

There are optional safety features on the 2023 Mazda CX-30 which may add to the cost but should be strongly considered --- 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.
