Mazda Press Release:
New Mazda2 earns 5-Star Ranking from Euro NCAP
Leverkusen, 19th December 2007. The European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP) has awarded the all-new Mazda2 five stars for adult occupant protection.
Thanks to a lightweight, but strong body using high and ultra high tensile steels, the new Mazda2 proved itself amongst the bests in the segment on Euro NCAP crash tests. It scored an impressive total of 34 points for adult protection and the highest possible ranking of five stars.
Not only are adults given optimal protection in the new Mazda2, children are as well. With a four-star ranking for child occupant protection with 37 points, Mazda’s new sub-compact becomes one of the few cars in its segment to achieve this level of child protection. And for pedestrian safety,
Mazda2 achieved an admirable 18 points and two-star ranking.
The new Mazda2 is not only one of the lightest, most fuel-efficient, best-looking, and fun to drive sub-compacts in Europe – it is also officially one of the safest.
