Top 10 Safest Affordable Midsize Cars of 2015

10. Mazda6 - Top Safety Pick+

While the 2015 Mazda6 is a Top Safety Pick+, it’s the only Top Safety Pick+ vehicle to have scored “acceptable” on the front small overlap crash test. In fact, it’s the only vehicle on this top 10 list that didn’t score the highest “good” rating on all five crash tests. Still, the Mazda6 performs well in the front crash prevention category when equipped with optional equipment, which is how the sedan earned its Top Safety Pick+ rating.

The 2015 Mazda6 is priced from $21,985 including destination and comes standard with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with 184 hp while returning an EPA-estimated 25 mpg in the city and 37 mpg on the highway.
