Euro NCAP: 2015 Mazda MX-5 crash testing
In Euro NCAP testing, the Mazda ND MX-5 received a four star safety rating which included an 84 per cent adult occupant protection rating and an 80 per cent child occupant protection rating. In the frontal offset test, protection of the front passenger and the driver’s thighs and feet were rated as good, though protection of the driver’s head, chest and lower legs was rated as adequate (i.e. a slight risk of serious injury). In the side impact test, chest protection was assessed as adequate; in the more severe pole test, chest protection was rated as marginal.
