2015 Mazda6The 2015 Mazda6 is sleek, stylish, efficient, and one of the safest vehicles on the road. Having recently earned the sought-after title of 2014 “Top Safety Pick+” from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, and after having received 5 Stars in recent government testing, it goes uncontested that the MX6 is one of the wisest automotive investments you can make.

Working Harder to Keep You Safer

The IIHS has tightened criteria this year, making it more difficult for vehicles to earn the coveted Top Safety Pick+ award. The Institute now requires good performance, moderate overlap front/side/roof strength/head restraint tests, and, for the first time, good or acceptable performance in the small overlap front test as well.

With a host of new technological additions and options, such as Smart City Brake Support, the Mazda MX6 steps up to the plate and hits it right out of the park.

More Safety Options Than Ever Before

The 2015 Mazda MX6 offers a class-exclusive suite of eight active safety features engineered to keep passengers and other vehicles safer on the road:

  • Mazda Radar Cruise Control can automatically control the engine brakes to maintain safe speed and distance between you and the vehicle ahead of you.
  • Forward Obstruction Warning detects obstructions ahead and offers alerts to the driver allowing you to take immediate action.
  • Smart City Brake Support helps to minimize frontal collisions when the vehicle is moving between 12 and 18 mph. The system will automatically apply the brakes, if it senses that a collision is imminent.
  • Lane Departure Warning System alerts you when the vehicle senses the car is drifting from its current lane.
  • Rear Cross Traffic Alert notifies you if a vehicle is approaching from the side when you’re moving in reverse.
  • Blind Spot Monitoring alerts you if a vehicle or object is in one of your blind spots, making it unsafe for the vehicle to change lanes.
  • High-Beam Control automatically switches from high-beam to low-beam when oncoming traffic is detected, as well as when the car senses another vehicle ahead of you. When the way is clear, it automatically switches back to high-beam.
  • Adaptive Front-lighting System allows your headlights to turn using information gleaned from the vehicle’s speed and steering angle, improving visibility around corners.

With so many intelligent options, there’s little doubt that the 2015 Mazda MX6 will continue to be a favorite of consumers and critics for years to come.
