Mazda6 scores high five

The current generation Mazda6 with European specifications has been awarded the five-star maximum rating by the European New Car Assessment Programme* (Euro NCAP).



For 2009, Euro NCAP has implemented a more stringent evaluation system that awards a single overall vehicle safety rating combining the scores achieved in four areas of assessment: Adult Occupant Protection, Child Protection, Pedestrian Protection and Safety Assist. The Mazda6 was in the first group of vehicles tested under the new framework.

Mazda models in Europe that received the highest possible five stars for Adult Occupant Protection under the previous Euro NCAP rating system include the Mazda5 in September 2005 and the Mazda2 in December 2007.
