WHAT ARE THE STANDARD SAFETY FEATURES on the 2026 CX-5, RAV4, and CR-V?
Posted on September 15, 2026
2026 TOYOTA RAV4: Toyota Safety Sense 4.0
Every 2026 Toyota RAV4 includes Toyota Safety Sense 4.0 as standard. Key features include the Pre-Collision System with Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Departure Alert, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Traffic Sign Recognition, and Proactive Driving Assist.
Toyota's standout feature is Proactive Driving Assist (PDA), which can provide gentle steering and braking support in everyday situations, such as approaching a curve, following slower traffic, or passing pedestrians.
2026 Honda CR-V: Honda Sensing
Honda Sensing comes standard on every 2026 CR-V. Standard equipment includes the Collision Mitigation Braking System, Lane Keeping Assist, Road Departure Mitigation, Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow, and Driver Attention Monitor.
Its signature feature is Road Departure Mitigation (RDM), which can detect when the vehicle is leaving the roadway and automatically provide steering correction and braking, making it especially helpful on highways and rural roads.
2026 Mazda CX-5: i-ACTIVSENSE
Every 2026 Mazda CX-5 is equipped with the i-Activsense safety suite. Standard features include Front and Rear Collision Warning & Braking, Blind Spot Assist, Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Speed Limit Assist, and Emergency Lane Keeping.
The CX-5 stands out with rear cross-traffic braking. Instead of only warning the driver when reversing, it can automatically apply the brakes if a collision is imminent.
Why Mazda Approach Stands Out
Mazda's human-centric philosophy focuses on supporting the driver rather than replacing them. Just as importantly, key technologies such as Blind Spot Assist, rear automatic braking, and Mazda Radar Cruise Control are standard on every CX-5 trim, so drivers receive the same high level of safety across the lineup.
