How safe is the 2018 Mazda6?

Even with all of the attention and focus put on the car’s new engine and design, the manufacturers didn’t miss anything when it comes to safety. There are loads of standard and available technologies that epitomize modern vehicle safety.

High beam control/adaptive front lighting

These available features make nighttime driving as painless as possible. High beam control is a system that automatically adjusts your brights when it senses an oncoming motorist. So you don’t blind anyone, the Mazda6’s high beams will turn off and turn back on when the road ahead is clear. Adaptive front lighting is the car’s unique ability to slightly pivot its own headlights when going around turns. Your headlamps will turn in the direction you are going to you can always have the best visibility possible.

In an effort to keep drivers aware of their surroundings, these features alert you when a vehicle is approaching you from a direction you can’t normally see. When in reverse, sensors monitor the area behind you and will beep if a car is coming too close. This is very helpful when backing out of a tight parking stall. Blind spot monitoring subtly lets you know when a car is in your blind spot by activating a small light on your corresponding side-view mirror.

Have you ever wanted to just set a constant following distance instead of a speed? Radar cruise control does just that. Radar cameras watch the vehicle in front of you and will alter your speed depending on how you set your desired following distance. Other safety features included on the 2018 Mazda6 are street sign recognition, smart brake support, and lane-keep assist.
