New and Pre-Owned MAZDA Models Recommended by IIHS for Teens

If you’re searching for a safe new or pre-owned Mazda model for teens, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has some recommendations. The Mazda3 is a top sedan, while the Mazda CX-30 and Mazda CX-50 offer excellent small SUV options. For more model recommendations and what makes them great for teens, North Penn Mazda has the scoop.

MAZDA3

For a sedan or hatchback option, the Mazda3 is perfect for teens thanks to its i-Activsense® platform. Standard on all modern Mazda models, this system includes a Blind Spot Monitoring system to help you stay on top of hazards currently in your blind spots. Your teens will also appreciate the Rear Cross Traffic Alert, warning you if something’s crossing your path as you’re backing up.

MAZDA CX-30

The Mazda CX-30 is recommended for teen drivers who want a smaller SUV. In addition to the i-Activsense® platform, its standard 2.5-liter Skyactiv®-G engine generates 191 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque – plenty of power for new drivers. It also comes equipped with standard i-Activ AWD®, helping teen drivers easily navigate slippery surfaces.

MAZDA CX-50

If your teen drive wants more passenger and cargo space, the Mazda CX-50 is the perfect choice. The IIHS recommends it for the same i-Activsense® platform and i-Activ AWD®, and this model also generates 187 horsepower from its standard 2.5-liter Skyactiv®-G engine. And with 41.7 inches of legroom and up to 56.3 cubic feet or cargo space, it has all the space your teen needs for driving with friends.
