The new Mazda6 has gained five-star safety rating in the latest Euro NCAP tests, the highest rating possible.
Both the Mazda6 saloon and Tourer scored top marks in all four Euro NCAP categories after undergoing several crash tests.
The scores achieved by the all-new Mazda6 were adult occupant protection (92%), child occupant protection (77%), and safety assist systems (81%) - comfortably above the 80%, 60% and 65% thresholds in these categories required to collect a five-star rating overall.
The all-new Mazda6 also scored 66% for pedestrian safety, one the best marks in Europe among vehicles tested this year.
"While the all-new Mazda6 is more powerful and more fuel efficient than ever before, thanks to its Skyactiv technology," said Jeremy Thomson, managing director, Mazda UK. "It is also lighter and stronger, featuring ultra-high tensile steel and other innovations which reinforce the body's structures and its passive safety performance.
"This is underpinned by our range of driver-supporting active safety technology which helps prevent accidents in the first place and reduce their severity should one be unavoidable."
