The Mazda MX-30 scored an impressive 91% in the Adult Occupant Protection test - the highest mark awarded to any vehicle in the 2020 Euro NCAP tests. It performed well in protecting adult passengers in all crash scenarios, with the head restraints also showing good protection against whiplash injuries occurring for the front passengers if the vehicle was to be involved in a rear-end collision.
Protection for all critical body parts of the child dummies was good/adequate in all crash scenarios, and the MX-30 was awarded 87% for this section.
Concerning Vulnerable Road Users, the MX-30 scored 68% and was praised for having a well-designed bonnet and bumper, which provided good protection on nearly every test in which a pedestrian was hit.
