There's A Very Good Reason To Buy A 2021 Mazda

Mazda has been doingpretty well recentlyand has been using its successto give backwhere possible. And with the possibility of the brandreintroducing the rotaryengine to its lineup, we're excited about what the future holds for the Japanese automaker. But as much as we're most interested in performance, safety is just as important a criterion for a brand's success, and Mazda has been exemplary with its model year 2021 offerings. Almost every single car in the 2021 range has achieved the coveted Top Safety Pick+ award from the IIHS, with the exception of theMX-5 Miataand its RF counterpart which were not tested. This essentially means that Mazda's offerings are safer than any of its rivals' direct counterparts.

Tests conducted by the IIHS are especially crucial to a car's reputation in terms of safety since the agency conducts tests called the driver-side small overlap front and passenger-side small overlap front. These tests were first introduced in 2012 and are "designed to replicate what happens when the front left (or right) corner of a vehicle collides with another vehicle or an object like a tree or utility pole," according to the IIHS. These tests are very specific but very important, and many cars that perform exceptionally in other safety measurements fail here. But not Mazda's offerings, meaning an impact from any direction has been accounted for in the vehicles' development.
