Verdict

The passenger compartment of the CX-30 remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of both the driver and passenger. Mazda showed that a similar level of protection would be provided to occupants of different sizes and to those sitting in different positions. In the full-width rigid barrier test, protection of both the driver and rear passenger was good for all critical body areas, and the CX-30 scored maximum points in this test. Likewise, in both the side barrier impact and the more severe side pole test the CX-30 scored maximum points, with good protection all-round. Tests on the front seats and head-restraints demonstrated good protection against whiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end collision. A geometric assessment of the rear seats also indicated good whiplash protection. The standard-fit 'Smart Brake Support' (SBS) performed well in tests of its functionality at the low speeds, typical of city driving, at which whiplash injuries often occur. With collisions avoided in all test scenarios, the CX-30 scored full points in this part of the assessment.

In the frontal offset test, protection of all critical body areas was good or adequate for both dummies, with the exception of the neck of the 10 year old, for which readings of tensile forces indicated marginal protection. In the side barrier impact, protection was good for all critical parts of the body and the CX-30 scored full points for child occupant protection in this test. The front passenger airbag can be disabled to allow a rearward-facing child restraint to be used in that seating position. Clear information is provided to the driver regarding the status of the airbag and the system was rewarded. All of the restraint types for which the CX-30 is designed could be properly installed and accommodated in the car.

The protection offered to the head of a struck pedestrian was good over almost all of the bonnet surface and adequate over much of the rest. Good protection was provided to pedestrians' legs by the bumper and protection of the pelvis was also rated as good at all test locations. The autonomous emergency braking system ('Smart Brake Support') can detect vulnerable road users like pedestrians and cyclists, as well as other vehicles. In tests of its reaction to such road users, the system performed adequately, with collisions avoided or mitigated in most scenarios.

The SBS autonomous emergency braking system performed well in tests of its functionality against other vehicles at highway speeds. A seatbelt reminder system is standard equipment for the front and rear seats. A speed assistance system uses a camera and digital mapping to determine the local speed limit. This information is presented to the driver, allowing the speed limiter to be set appropriately. A lane support system helps to avoid inadvertent drifting out of lane by warning the driver and gently correcting the steering of the vehicle.
