What the ratings mean
NHTSA gives the 2019 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.
