The 2018 Mazda CX-5 boasts an incredible array of standard and available safety features, bringing peace of mind to your experience behind the wheel.

Rear Cross Traffic Alert comes standard, giving you eyes in the back of your head. When you put your Mazda CX-5 in reverse, the system keeps an eye out for vehicles approaching from the side, providing you with an alert on the back-up monitor and side-view mirrors if it detects one. Advanced Blind Spot Monitoring works in a similar fashion when you’re in drive. If a car is cruising in your blind spot, the system will let you know. It also keeps an eye out for fast-approaching vehicles that will soon be in your blind spot.

Smart City Brake Support keeps a watchful eye on the road ahead when you’re traveling at slow speeds. If the system detects an imminent impact, it will adjust the brake pads closer to the disc to enable faster braking. If you’re unable to hit the brakes, the system can hit them for you. Smart Brake Support provides a similar functionality at speeds greater than 10 mph.

The Lane Departure Warning System provides reassurance on long highway drives. If you’re traveling at speeds of 37 mph or higher and the system detects that you’re unintentionally drifting out of your lane, it will trigger an alert to get your attention. If you don’t heed the warning, Lane-Keep Assist has got you covered. It can enact minor steering corrections in order to re-center your Mazda CX-5 in your current lane.

Edmunds has heaped plenty of praise on the 2018 Mazda CX-5, saying that “It has a refined and upscale nature, plenty of technology and safety features, and excellent utility.”
