What this rating means for the 2019 Mazda CX-5

NHTSA gives the 2019 Mazda CX-5 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 results for every NCAP test in this program, so the overall star rating rests on a complete set of crash and rollover results.

NHTSA's dynamic test put this vehicle's rollover probability at 16.9% in a single-vehicle crash — the figure behind the rollover star rating, published here because the star alone hides how wide each band is.

Across the 11 model years we hold for the Mazda CX-5, the figure ranges from 4-star (2016) to 5-star (2015), so the 2019 car is best read against its own model history rather than in isolation.

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.
