The Mazda CX-5 has a load-bearing body structure. The use of zones with programmable deformation in the body structure makes it possible not only to significantly dampen the impact force in a car collision, but also to prevent the doors from blocking due to skewed body panels. In addition, in a collision with a car, the engine, together with the front subframe, goes under the car, and not into the passenger compartment. All these measures provide a high level of passive vehicle safety.
