Passive Safety

Mazda6 / Overview / Passive Safety

Mazda 6 facelift's triple-H body structure is made of high-tensile steels and was launched with reinforcements to practically every part of the body shell so that it is very effective at dispersing impact energy away from the cabin and the fuelsystem. On the inside, Mazda 6 facelift's standard safety package includes active front head restraints, six airbags, brake and clutch pedals that do not intrude into the cabin during frontal impact, impact-absorbing trim on the pillars and roof side rails, and ISOFIX child safety seat anchors and top tethers at the outside of each rear seat.
