Rating Breakdown
What this rating means for the 2021 Mazda Cx 3
NHTSA gives the 2021 Mazda Cx 3 5 out of 5 stars overall. NHTSA does not publish enough comparable results for this class and year to rank it against peers.
NHTSA published frontal crash, side crash and rollover resistance for this vehicle but not side pole. An untested area is not a poor result — it means no published data exists, and the overall star rating is calculated without it.
Across the 6 model years we hold for the Mazda Cx 3, this figure has not moved from 5-star.
A star rating describes how this vehicle performed in NHTSA’s tests against other vehicles of similar mass. It is not comparable across weight classes: five stars on a small car and five on a large SUV do not describe equal crash outcomes.
About NHTSA Safety Ratings
The NHTSA New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) assigns 5-star ratings from government-funded frontal, side, and rollover crash tests — not manufacturer-reported data. Ratings, crash media, and safety-technology data are sourced directly from NHTSA.
