What’s New with the 2020 Mazda CX-5 Safety Rating?

Just a few months ago, we showed you how the Mazda CX-5 safety ratings distinguished the 2019 model as one of the smartest buys in its segment. The 2020 Mazda CX-5 arrived at our dealership shortly thereafter, and we’re happy to report that it’s even safer than before. We’ll take you through the new additions to the CX-5 safety suite below.

2020 MAZDA CX-5 SAFETY FEATURES

You guessed it: i-Activsense® safety features are now standard across the lineup. This means that every 2020 Mazda CX-5 receives the following standard equipment:

• Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
• Lane Departure Warning with Lane-keep Assist
• Smart Brake Support
• Advanced Smart City Brake Support with Pedestrian Detection
• Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go
• Dynamic Stability Control and Traction Control System
• Rearview Camera
• Automatic rain-sensing windshield wipers

Although this is an impressive standard suite, San Marcos-area drivers still have reason to upgrade. The more advanced trims offer access to:

• LED Headlights with Auto-leveling
• LED Daytime Running Lights, Fog Lights, and Combination taillights
• An Adaptive Front-lighting System
• An Active Driving Display with TSR
• A 360º View Monitor
• Front and rear parking sensors

For more control when the weather is working against you, make sure to opt for i-Activ AWD® all-wheel drive system with Off-road Traction Assist. It’s available even on the baseline trim, and it comes standard on Grand Touring Reserve and Signature CX-5 models.
