There's a lot to love about the Mazda CX-70 and everything it brings to the road, including its bold performance, gorgeous style, and excellent comfort and tech features inside the cabin. As much as we love all of these other things, none of them really matter if your midsize SUV can't also help protect you on the road. 

Fortunately, the CX-70 is also an incredibly safe vehicle with a remarkable selection of standard and available features designed to protect you and your passengers on the road each day. Let's take a closer look at the kinds of safety features you'll find when looking at a 2025 Mazda CX-70 for sale and how well they all come together to create an innovative and dependable ride.

Standard Safety Technology and Features

Looking at the standard features of the Mazda CX-70, we can see that it has a lot to offer, so even if you're not interested in a higher trim, you'll get a very safe midsize SUV. Every model comes with Forward Smart Brake Support to help you avoid collisions by detecting potential crashes and automatically braking to help you avoid vehicles ahead of you. You also get a Lane Departure Warning System to let you know when you seem to be unintentionally drifting or veering from your lane, along with Lane-keep Assist that can provide momentary steering assistance to help you avoid leaving your lane.

Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go is standard, which lets you set a safe traveling speed and distance between you and the vehicle ahead of you. Then, the system will adjust your speed to maintain it, even when safely coming to a stop. This is a great feature to make your daily commute and long road trips a lot less tiring. A Rear Cross Traffic Alert is standard, which warns you when you're backing up. A vehicle is about to pass behind you, along with Blind Spot Monitoring that lets you know when someone else is lurking in your blind spot—car companies can't eliminate blind spots completely. Still, these kinds of systems help you avoid collisions with people who find their way into a place where you can't see them.

A Driver Attention Alert is standard, which lets you know if you seem distracted or tired while driving, reminding you that it might be time to take a break if you're on a long trip. You also get Front and Rear Parking Sensors that help maneuver parking lots and similar tight spaces by warning you when you're close to other vehicles or objects. Mazda even provides a Vehicle Exit Warning with every CX-70 model, which can detect vehicles or bicycles approaching from behind you once you've parked, warning you to be careful when you or your passengers are getting out. These systems come together beautifully to keep you safer on the road, although more is available if you want to take things to the next level.

Available Options to Enhance Safety

You can enjoy several additional options and available safety systems for the Mazda CX-70 that are provided at higher trim levels beyond the starting model. Many of these features are not essential, but they're a great way to take things further and stay safer while on the road. The Premium trim includes a variety of upgrades such as Emergency Lane Keeping with Blind Spot Assist, Road Keep Assist, and Head-on Traffic Avoidance Assist. These advanced systems provide additional brief steering support to help you avoid changing lanes into someone in your blind spot or drifting off the road while driving, along with momentary steering assist to help you avoid a head-on collision with someone in another lane.

This trim also includes Auto Speed Limit Assist for the Cruise Control system, which helps ensure you remain at a safe speed while it's engaged. Cruising and Traffic Support further enhances the Cruise Control to provide lane centering and even going from a stop up to highway speeds under certain conditions. A Secondary Collision Reduction System is provided with the Premium model to help avoid additional collisions in the event of a crash, which can reduce further damage or injuries. These features beautifully enhance everything the CX-70 already brings to the road, taking things further and keeping you safer.

Looking at higher trims, even more impressive features are available and provided as you move up to something like the S Premium models. While the standard Driver Attention Alert works great, these higher trims include Driver Monitoring that can more easily detect things like drowsiness, further helping you avoid fatigue that can lead to a crash. You get Reverse Smart Brake Support with Pedestrian Detection at higher trims, along with Front Cross Traffic and Turning Across Path Alerts with Brake support, helping to detect a wide range of potential collisions and providing you with braking assistance to help you avoid them.

Passive Safety Systems

These kinds of active safety features are terrific, of course, but the Mazda CX-70 has many passive features that you might not always look for but help keep you safer on the road each day. Every model comes with a comprehensive airbag suite that includes dual front airbags, front knee airbags, front side-impact airbags, and side-impact air curtains with rollover protection to provide additional cushioning in the event of a severe collision. Dynamic Stability Control with a Traction Control System and Trailer Stability Assist are all standard, to help you stay safe and in control on the road, plus you get Roll Stability Control, Hill Launch Assist, and more to help you get the most out of every moment on the road.

Recognized as a Top Safety Pick+

As a Mazda dealership, you expect us to brag about the great safety tech and features found in the CX-70, but we're not the only ones who feel this is an incredibly safe vehicle. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), one of the leading agencies when it comes to testing vehicles for safety, has thoroughly tested the 2025 Mazda CX-70 and given it a Top Safety Pick+ rating, which is the highest rating they offer. 

It's earned top marks in every single category and even extra recognition for how well designed it is for use with child safety seats. Similarly, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has awarded the 2025 CX-70 a five-star overall safety rating, which is also the highest rating they provide. In other words, the IIHS and the NHTSA experts agree that this is an incredibly safe vehicle and a terrific choice for drivers who want a real sense of security on the road.
