| Summary | No independent review sources were consulted in this pass, so no review score is given. Mazda's own material stresses the design, the cabin quality and the 2023 IIHS Top Safety Pick award. | Reviewers praise the strong value for money, the upright styling and the generous equipment for the price. They criticise the basic seat adjustability, the unremarkable ride and handling, and the fact that the petrol versions have no independent crash rating. The side curtain airbag also snagged on trim in the plug-in hybrid's crash test. This score is an editorial estimate based on the reviews listed. |
