Finding the right first vehicle for your teen can be overwhelming. Safety, value, and confidence all matter, which is why Goodwin Mazda is proud to share that many new and pre-owned Mazda vehicles have been named on the 2025 IIHS list of recommended vehicles for teen drivers. Learn more and try these models out at our dealership.
A Trusted Safety Standard
The IIHS teen vehicle recommendations are based on strict criteria that include high crash-test scores, dependable handling, and strong safety technology. Mazda’s presence on this list reflects the brand’s commitment to protecting new drivers with quality engineering and advanced safety features.
A majority of recent Mazda models include the i-Activsense® safety suite, which is a big reason for their presence on the list. This collection of intelligent systems is designed to help alert, support, and protect the driver. Common i-Activsense® features include:
- Blind Spot Monitoring
- Rear Cross Traffic Alert
- Mazda Radar Cruise Control™ with Stop & Go
- Smart Brake Support
- Lane Departure Warning with Lane-Keep Assist
Recommended New MAZDA Models
Mazda’s newest generation of vehicles continues the safety-first philosophy. The 2025 Mazda3 Sedan and Mazda3 Hatchback both earned IIHS recommendations as small car options for teens. Those seeking a compact SUV will appreciate the Mazda CX-30 and Mazda CX-50, while families wanting more space can consider the midsize Mazda CX-70 and Mazda CX-90.
Trusted Pre-Owned MAZDA Picks
If you’re shopping for a pre-owned Mazda vehicle, you’ll find several recommended models. These include select model years of the Mazda3, Mazda6, Mazda CX-30, and Mazda CX-9. These vehicles provide great long-term value, reliable engineering, and safety credentials that make them ideal for teen drivers.
