Fortunately, we’ve compiled a list of the top SUVs with the best safety ratings, discussing their general features, safety and uses: 1. Mazda CX-5 The Mazda CX-5 is one of the safest SUVs on the market. It has scored an overall crash test rating of 4 out of 5 stars from NHTSA and achieved superior protection in the front end, side, roof strength, seat belts, head restraints and roll cage tests.
