2023 Mazda CX-5 Safety and Reliability

It's unsurprising that reviews of the Mazda CX-5's safety are stellar, especially when you have a look at the list of standard driver-assist features. The NHTSA's review of the CX-5 resulted in a five-out-of-five-star overall rating. The IIHS also awarded the SUV a 2022 Top Safety Pick+ Award, the highest accolade it can give, and we wouldn't be surprised if the 2023 model matched this.

One of the biggest advantages that the CX-5 boasts is its impressive suite of safety features included on all trims. The traditional bunch of features include dual-front, front-side and side impact airbags as well as a rearview camera, traction control, and hill-launch assist. The standard driver-assist tech on all models includes collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, pedestrian monitoring, and advanced smart city brake support. The Turbo Signature is the only trim that gets a standard 360-degree camera, front and rear parking sensors, automatic reverse city braking, driver-attention alert, traffic-sign recognition, and traffic-jam assist.

The 2020-2023 models haven't been involved in any recalls in the US. This should come as a relief to those who are concerned about reliability ratings and J.D. Power's ratings of the Mazda CX-5 also point towards very good reliability with an overall score of 83 out of 100 and 82/100 for quality and reliability.

The CX-5 does come with a three-year or 36,000-mile basic warranty as well as a five-year or 60,000-mile drivetrain warranty. Roadside assistance is also standard for three years or 36,000 miles.
