Test details:
The Mazda 6 was redesigned for the 2009 model year. Frontal ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test conducted by Mazda as part of frontal crash test verification.
Restraints/dummy kinematics — Dummy movement was well controlled. During rebound, the dummy's head hit the roof rail and sunvisor.
Injury measures — Measures taken from the head, neck, and chest indicate low risk of injuries to these body regions in a crash of this severity. Forces on the right tibia indicate that injuries to the lower leg would be possible. Head acceleration from the roof rail/sunvisor hit was low.
