MAZDA SUVS: CRITICAL SAFETY FEATURES FOR EVERY SAN ANTONIO FAMILY

If it seems like the technology in new cars is advancing all the time, well, you’re correct! Vehicles from all manufacturers are becoming more capable than ever in the areas of performance, connectivity, and safety. At Ingram Park Mazda in San Antonio, we know that it’s easy to take the safety of our vehicles for granted. So, today, let’s just take a quick look at some of the critical vehicle safety functions you’ll find in 2020 Mazda SUVs:

MANDATORY FEDERAL SAFETY REGULATIONS

While manufacturers may compete for advanced safety features, a few are required by federal regulations and include:

• LATCH child seat safety system
• Seatbelts
• Airbags
• Tire-pressure display
• Electronic stability control

Rear cameras, or back-up cameras, are increasingly becoming standard safety features in new vehicles, too.

AUTOMOBILE SAFETY RATINGS

The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration assesses a vehicle’s safety rating on a five-star scale across three types of crash tests. Those crash tests are: front, side, and rollover collisions. Cars receiving a star rating based on how occupants would fare in the event of these scenarios. Protective measures include the performance of safety measures like seatbelts and airbags, yes, but also with the structure of the vehicle itself with features like crumple zones and reinforced areas.

While vehicle collisions are inevitable, manufacturers like Mazda are working hard each year to improve safety with technological advancements.
