He was going so fast my car spun to the side and his continued straight and hit hit another car head on. No major injuries but still very terrifying.

Such a great, informative test! I’m glad they have increased the speed to real world mph and adjusted the body of the “sled” to the bumper/hood pick up body style. There are definitely so many on the road between large suv and pickups.
They did it after previous years got lower ratings. This test wasn't created recently. its just being updated for modern size suvs. Still pretty good that they didnt wait for publicity to hit them poorly before doing something
This single video actually put the CX-5 on my list. I've never actually looked at Mazda before this video. After test-driving a lot of vehicles, I went with a Volvo XC40 electric. I had some issues with it, so I told the dealer they can have it back. I forgot about Mazda again until I randomly saw a bright red CX-5 at some random car seller.

I didnt even realize that the Mazda's glass didn't completely shatter! Wow! So reassuring since I want a CX-9 as my next vehicle. They didn't wait for the test to come out first. Instead they built thier vehicle to even exceed the previous standards. Good job!
I'm a subaru fan and was surprised to see the Forester only get A for the side test (instead of G). Even more interesting, when looking up the test results on the IIHS website, the forester use to get G, but the updated test now shows A. I wonder what changed? Also, we are shopping for the Subaru Ascent later this year and they are one of the few vehicles to get G ratings on every single IIHS test.
What changed is the testing methodology. They made the test stricter, and as such it's harder to get a G rating. Vehicles that used to get G would now get A most likely.
These teams of engineers who design and build these vehicles as well as the ones who do their best to break them in testing two others, and the work that they've done has saved countless lives over the past few decades.
This video just made me so happy I bought a CX-5. The safety features on it are great. They are a little sensitive, but it’s better that way. I even got rear ended once and the back windshield shattered. Glass ended up in the front seat and I was literally sitting on it, but didn’t cut me at all. Just love the car and always recommend it.
Honda CR V maintained the position after the impact which means it had to absorb the impact by itself, while Mazda CX 5 turned its position which resulted the impact car to slide away and it means less impact to the car. This might be the result of an engineering for the side impact test. Similar result happens at the front offset test. Some cars sacrifice 20 percent of engine bay and slide away to keep the impact low to the car while some others just try to resist to the impact. The outcome is totally different.
When I bought the first Mazda6 in 2003, I remember it having best in class crash ratings and that was 20 yrs ago. I'm really looking forward to seeing what they bring out with the new turbo inline 6 engine and a redesigned rear drive sedan (new Mazda6) and SUV (CX-9 size vehicle)
Thanks for this crash test. I own a Mazda CX-5 very happy to see a good crash test. Cars with poor ratings shouldn’t aloud for the Manufacturer to continue selling to consumers that’s wrong.
At 7:20 They are showing the interior of a Honda being crashed and not the actual interior of a Nissan Rogue Also I'm curious as to whether or not they set the parking brakes on some of these models before they're crashed and whether or not that has an influence on the Crash results
@@JenGM24 I am one, and I chose and still choose Mazdas over Toyotas any day of the week. To me Toyotas are carrying their name now. They are boring. They have seem to lag behind when it comes to design. Their quality is not what it used to be. Also, Toyota is now using a few Mazda platforms for their cars. For example, the new Yaris is a Mazda 2 with a few different body panels (and probably engine). Just google them and see how their interiors are the same (also in tune with other Mazda designs).
Anyone else notice the rollover mitigation prongs on the Jeeps? Not a good sign in the real world. And have you seen the size/height of current American full sizers? They'll quite literally take cabin intrusion to a whole new level.

Wifey been driving a cx 5 for 2 years now. Glad to know they did a good job on safety since she usually has our 2 kiddos in her car more than I do in mines.
I became an EMT my senior year in HS because I saw my friend get hit by a tanker truck less than two miles from our local hospital. He was T-boned driving an 80s Ford Ltd and had a ruptured spleen. He was in critical condition for the first 36 hours, but walked out of the hospital two weeks later. He was lucky he was driving that big car. He was also lucky that he was knocked unconscious in the crash.
I like how the Buick have another airbag for the *rear* side passenger. Car manufacturers better step up and take notes !! That’s a itty bitty car 😂 6:20
I recently bought a 2014 Mazda 5 mini wagon. The center post between the front and back side doors is very strong. Just like the Mazda CX5 In this video, the high rated car. Mine was made in Hiroshima Japan. In these videos it looks like the side air bags do a great job of protecting people from glass.
The test primarily is to see cabin intrusion, and how structural components and safety equipment (airbags etc) protect the passengers from side impact, specifically. They would be introducing variables to the test if the vehicle flips. And besides IIHS already saw Jeeps flip on testing :D
I was in a head on collision with a drunk driver on the freeway going the wrong way. I was going at least 70mph, and him likely faster. I only walked away with minor injuries and his passenger unfortunately died. I was driving a Mazda CX-5. Eternally grateful to Mazda.
A side collision is one of the reasons why I sold my Golf R then bought a ‘22 Highlander (Top Safety pick +). Driving a small hatchback w/ a baby in the states is too risky.
is it a top saftey pick using the old test or the new standard of testing with the heavier barrier to replicate the giant pickups out their. Cause theirs only a handfull of cars passing the new tests and most of them are tiny compact suvs suprsingly alot of the bigger suvs have issues with center of gravity
Did anyone notice that at 7:22 when they were supposed to be showing the Nissans inside angle they showed the honda CRV angle. Which they already showed. I can tell because the steering wheel says honda on it/
Just goes to show you the certain quality in some of these cars.. Chevy, Ford, and Buick had minimal to no cracking or interior pieces being launched around the cabin. And ofcourse Audi and Mazda held up amazingly
The problem with all cars is that manufacturers think of two things: first, more profit, second, less weight of the car to avoid high fuel consumption. Each car cabin must use two types of iron with different thickness to protect the occupants at the time of the accident, but Unfortunately, to make the door frame and even the front and rear frame and frame, they use the same alloy and thickness that they use in making the body cover, for example, to use 2 mm iron sheet for the cover and 3 to 4 mm for the car body frame to In accidents, the number of occupants will be reduced or never reduced
It's steel, not iron, and the thickness of that steel is less of a factor than the engineering that goes into it. 1 vs 2 side intrusion beams, for example. High tensile steel vs mild steel. Single shell design vs multi-shell design. Most cars these days are monocoque designs and the passenger cabin is almost always built with heavier steel in a space frame shell design. The body panels are not part of it and are largely irrelevant to secondary protection values.
Watching the side airbag deploy after impact, was a bit interesting. How many vehicles with the back passenger extended past the seat into the trunk area? (Most seemed to stop deployment right by the head rest.) Very few, but certainly looked like that helped with the back passenger. Watching the Toyota RAV not sure I would’ve wanted to have been the back passenger in that type of collision
I agree with your observation. The bag DOES need to be extended back at least another foot or so. I had a look at my Rav4 Prime - it should be relatively easy to retrofit an upgraded airbag.
Volvo take note please. This is disappointing. As an owner of your product, I was sold upon safety and I still expect nothing but the best from you. And coincidentally I own a Mazda as well. Very proud of you, you have become an extremely reliable, stylish, premium, and SAFE brand. Our Mazda6 Grand Touring is the pretty Soul Red Color. And while it’s not as luxurious as our Volvo, the sportiness and feel of the car doesn’t disappoint. Good job Mazda!👍
@@bradhaines3142 Because it is actually not american, it is German Opel Mokka, that was produced under Opel brand by GM. GM, rebranded several Opel designs and models in several other regions as Vauxhall, Buick etc. Opel/Vauxhall brand is no longer owned by GM though (French Stellantis bought it)
I’ve always preferred older cars due to their simplicity and character, but one being 18 years old and the other 23, I don’t even want to think about how dead I am in one of these crashes. Planning to upgrade at least the daily driver.
Heck even my 2007 Volvo C30, which was considered very safe for its time and class of vehicle, would probably recieve a poor rating with side collisions under these tests. Side impacts were never its strong-suit, recieving either marginal or acceptable in the old tests. I do love my "old" C30, but in terms of safety it probably no longer cuts it with larger heavier vehicles on the road. edit: it recieved "good" side impact rating in the old test. However deformation is much worse there than even a lot of the new cars with the new test so RIP I guess I'll die then.
@@tedstrogis4823 Very true! I trait I aim to upgrade with suspension mods, bigger brakes and wider tires at some point xD. It is one of the things that stop me going to larger SUV's they're weight also makes it more likely to crash in some cases.
I faced a similar thought process. My current car has two airbags and weighs under a tonne. I'm going to be the worser off in any collision. Will have my new car by the end of the year.
There is a big problem that SUVs today have a lower bottom platform, and in this clip, the active bumping car has a higher bumper that could almost contact the lower bottom frame of some SUVs. Such caused some SUVs which publicly assumed as safe having a worse rating. Be aware to adjust that !!!
From the video they all look the same to me, in fact the Buick Encore that received ACCEPTABLE to me looked much worst than some that were scored lower, but I'm sure they must have some guidelines to determine each score.
This sucks, I just bought an HRV last year... in my country, those cars with the acceptable rating (like the CRV) are out of my price range. It just goes to show that there is a price for safety.
I was shopping for a Toyota SUV but Mazda CX5 has something else superior to offer. Now it has become a bit more complicated. Shouldn't have clicked on this video lol
@@tdas7204 I'm afraid that Volvo nowadays is learning from Geely about safety instead of vice versa. It's like a woman (in this case Volvo) that usually wears pants (safety matters) but after marrying a man (Geely) whose religion prohibited women from wearing pants (unsafe "tincan" car manufacturers), that woman stopped wearing pants and wears skirt and thigh-highs (giving false safety) instead of tights (retaining true safety while having Chinese car characteristics)
@@ArunKarumathil not only Mazda, every Japanese carmaker doesn't care so much about safety, their crumple zone is too soft that the cabin also got crumpled too. That's why many Japanese cars got the title "tin can" because of their unsafe structure
Several observations: A lot of internal parts get loose and are like missiles flying around. Congrats to Mazda. Impressive that it beat the Volvo. The Rogue almost flipped over. It does look a bit top-heavy. That Tucson is a 2021 model, not a 2022. Huge difference, with the 2022 very different, especially significantly larger. Couldn’t they get a 2022 Tucson? Good for IIHS to update the test.

That little buggy has some awesome wheels for no reason
this is exactly why i bought the cx5 3 years back to be my family car
Hrv = Mazda 3, а тут сравнивают hrv и Мазда 5! А не CR-V
I was expecting Volvo to come on top. Congrats to Mazda with this trophy!
But the problem is. You can see how jently volvo move dolls. Mazda seems to hit harder dolls. Is this test right? What do they measure.
The Volvo is a lot smaller car. I think they still have SIPS that moves the driver and passenger seat away from the impact.
Did anyone notice that at 7:22 when they were supposed to be showing the Nissans inside angle they showed the honda CRV angle. Which they already showed. I can tell because the steering wheel says honda on it/
I agree
Its nice to see your car at the Number 1 position, proud owner of a Mazda CX - 5 2023, great car if you are not looking for a big brand name.
I hope the upcoming redesign H-RV performs better.
Me too
Just goes to show you the certain quality in some of these cars.. Chevy, Ford, and Buick had minimal to no cracking or interior pieces being launched around the cabin. And ofcourse Audi and Mazda held up amazingly
The problem with all cars is that manufacturers think of two things: first, more profit, second, less weight of the car to avoid high fuel consumption. Each car cabin must use two types of iron with different thickness to protect the occupants at the time of the accident, but Unfortunately, to make the door frame and even the front and rear frame and frame, they use the same alloy and thickness that they use in making the body cover, for example, to use 2 mm iron sheet for the cover and 3 to 4 mm for the car body frame to In accidents, the number of occupants will be reduced or never reduced
It's steel, not iron, and the thickness of that steel is less of a factor than the engineering that goes into it. 1 vs 2 side intrusion beams, for example. High tensile steel vs mild steel. Single shell design vs multi-shell design. Most cars these days are monocoque designs and the passenger cabin is almost always built with heavier steel in a space frame shell design. The body panels are not part of it and are largely irrelevant to secondary protection values.
Excellent information 👌 thanks 🙏
Watching the side airbag deploy after impact, was a bit interesting. How many vehicles with the back passenger extended past the seat into the trunk area? (Most seemed to stop deployment right by the head rest.) Very few, but certainly looked like that helped with the back passenger. Watching the Toyota RAV not sure I would’ve wanted to have been the back passenger in that type of collision
Its still pretty safe. In the occasion where your head doesnt miss the airbag, at least.
I agree with your observation. The bag DOES need to be extended back at least another foot or so. I had a look at my Rav4 Prime - it should be relatively easy to retrofit an upgraded airbag.
Agree. CX-5's side airbags covered all the way till the end
Awesome video
11:12 Was the HR-V B-pillar secured to the lower structure with epoxy and tac welds??? Can see where the epoxy was ripped but I don’t see any bolting.
Thank you 😊
they changed the sled! Torque Thrusts vs the 96 Cougar XR7 rims. WOW Mazda beats Volvo
i think because the XC40 was built to be electric
@@juliuswhaley9113 actually the recharge was built on the petrol platform
Yh very surprised but knowing Volvo they’ll fix it
Japans knows it...
@@nev7991 wow, i know it’s a new car but i hope their quality changes especially since they’re buying out of geely
O kadar bilgilendirici, harika bir video ki, büyük alkış... 🙏🙏🙏👍
Mazda for the win love my CX-5 and 3 hatchback
Mazda is a people-oriented brand, not a commercial-oriented brand. Congratulations Mazda you didn't surprise me again
Anyone notice the Honda badge on the steering wheel for the Nissan Rogue……?
Yeah I think they screwed that footage up. Wrong vehicle footage
Volvo take note please. This is disappointing. As an owner of your product, I was sold upon safety and I still expect nothing but the best from you. And coincidentally I own a Mazda as well. Very proud of you, you have become an extremely reliable, stylish, premium, and SAFE brand. Our Mazda6 Grand Touring is the pretty Soul Red Color. And while it’s not as luxurious as our Volvo, the sportiness and feel of the car doesn’t disappoint. Good job Mazda!👍
Im surprised how well the Buick Encore did being based on an older platform it did really well.
Yeah
Just don't buy one, because the engine will eat a couple turbos before 100k miles
@@spicysnowman8886 i thought they were one of the more reliable american brands
@@bradhaines3142 the old ones are, the new ones are Chinese and terrible.
@@bradhaines3142 Because it is actually not american, it is German Opel Mokka, that was produced under Opel brand by GM.
GM, rebranded several Opel designs and models in several other regions as Vauxhall, Buick etc. Opel/Vauxhall brand is no longer owned by GM though (French Stellantis bought it)
I like my 2021 CX5 even more tonight
I’ve always preferred older cars due to their simplicity and character, but one being 18 years old and the other 23, I don’t even want to think about how dead I am in one of these crashes. Planning to upgrade at least the daily driver.
Heck even my 2007 Volvo C30, which was considered very safe for its time and class of vehicle, would probably recieve a poor rating with side collisions under these tests. Side impacts were never its strong-suit, recieving either marginal or acceptable in the old tests. I do love my "old" C30, but in terms of safety it probably no longer cuts it with larger heavier vehicles on the road.
edit: it recieved "good" side impact rating in the old test. However deformation is much worse there than even a lot of the new cars with the new test so RIP I guess I'll die then.
@@__-fm5qv But it can out maneuver most suv's, crash avoidance is important.
@@tedstrogis4823 Very true! I trait I aim to upgrade with suspension mods, bigger brakes and wider tires at some point xD. It is one of the things that stop me going to larger SUV's they're weight also makes it more likely to crash in some cases.
Dead is you are lucky ......
I faced a similar thought process. My current car has two airbags and weighs under a tonne. I'm going to be the worser off in any collision. Will have my new car by the end of the year.
The intro was lit...
very shock, Mazda CX-5 had good level for side crash test 😳
Mazda always is the best.
Hrv = Mazda 3, а тут сравнивают hrv и Мазда 5! А не CR-V
There is a big problem that SUVs today have a lower bottom platform, and in this clip, the active bumping car has a higher bumper that could almost contact the lower bottom frame of some SUVs. Such caused some SUVs which publicly assumed as safe having a worse rating. Be aware to adjust that !!!
The Toyota Venza (not shown) was also tested along with the Lincoln Corsair, Venza earning Acceptable and Corsair earning Marginal.
Bravo 👌👏
This is informative. Please make more tests especially the China cars that are out now in the market. Thanks!
Thanks a for the great research
I’m shocked that Volvo did not get a good rating. But I was impressed with Mazda’s glass not flying all over the cabin
Trust me, the Volvo is safer…
@@Spoolingturbski What?
@@v50-vertical ?
Nissan Rogue interior clip is actually of a Honda. Segment needs re-editing.
Interesting that Jeep were the only 2 vehicles that required supporting structures to prevent them from rolling onto their side.
because its higher center or gravity and ground clearance compared with the rest
Not surprised at all. Jeeps are crap and dangerous don’t buy a jeep. Letting them roll over should have been part of the result.
The Jeeps are rebadged Italian Fiats.
@@TheDalk own my Jeep for 11 years all your baseless claims couldn’t be more misleading.
@@jacobfrech288 I’ve seen the video. You should watch it. And hope you don’t have to make an evasive maneuver when driving your jeep.
Very useful👍🌈 , Audi car ok 🙋🏻♀️ ...
From the video they all look the same to me, in fact the Buick Encore that received ACCEPTABLE to me looked much worst than some that were scored lower, but I'm sure they must have some guidelines to determine each score.
My observation is such: Nissan Rogue - inside camera shows Honda logo on the steering wheel :)
This sucks, I just bought an HRV last year... in my country, those cars with the acceptable rating (like the CRV) are out of my price range. It just goes to show that there is a price for safety.
Good tests.
A jeep compass actually did pretty fine I suppose but still like marginal bucks so that means that there are better options on the market
JEEPS are bad do not buy a JEEP
Horrible reliability ratings too
Only Jeep has anti flip beam support, wonder why
ty nice kanal😍😍
Harder test
Thats good for ours
Superb !!!!
I was shopping for a Toyota SUV but Mazda CX5 has something else superior to offer. Now it has become a bit more complicated. Shouldn't have clicked on this video lol
Hrv = Mazda 3, а тут сравнивают hrv и Мазда 5! А не CR-V
The Nissan Rogue crash side crash videos from the interior is a Honda clearly at 7:18
I know but why
Cholernie satysfakcjonująca praca. Rozwalasz fajne fury bez konsekwencji. 😁
Would like to see the objective data between the Mazda and Volvo - the Incar showed a lot less passenger impact in the Volvo vs Mazda?
Still can't believe that a Mazda could beat a Volvo at a crash test
BECAUSE VOLVO IS NOW A CHINESE BRAND 😁
@@tdas7204 I'm afraid that Volvo nowadays is learning from Geely about safety instead of vice versa.
It's like a woman (in this case Volvo) that usually wears pants (safety matters) but after marrying a man (Geely) whose religion prohibited women from wearing pants (unsafe "tincan" car manufacturers), that woman stopped wearing pants and wears skirt and thigh-highs (giving false safety) instead of tights (retaining true safety while having Chinese car characteristics)
@footballcoreano or buy a Volvo truck, the true Swedish Volvo
What's so inferior about Mazda
@@ArunKarumathil not only Mazda, every Japanese carmaker doesn't care so much about safety, their crumple zone is too soft that the cabin also got crumpled too. That's why many Japanese cars got the title "tin can" because of their unsafe structure
Makes me glad that I just bought a 2022 CX5, now I just can't wait for it to arrive. LOL
Several observations:
A lot of internal parts get loose and are like missiles flying around.
Congrats to Mazda. Impressive that it beat the Volvo.
The Rogue almost flipped over. It does look a bit top-heavy.
That Tucson is a 2021 model, not a 2022. Huge difference, with the 2022 very different, especially significantly larger. Couldn’t they get a 2022 Tucson?
Good for IIHS to update the test.
