Based on dummy readings in the impact tests, the Mazda 6 scored maximum points for its protection of the 1½ year infant. Forward movement of the 3 year dummy, sat in a forward-facing restraint, was not excessive but the dummy's head contacted the rear head restraint on rebound. Although the contact was not hard, the car was penalised for poor control of the dummy movement, losing all points for the head. The passenger airbag can be disabled to allow a rearward-facing restraint to be used in that seating position. Clear information is provided to the driver regarding the status of the airbag and the system was rewarded. The child restraints which the car is designed to accommodate could be installed without a problem, except for the Group II/III restraint in the rear outboard seats which needed careful guidance of the ISOFIX probes in order to be properly fitted. Cars before VIN JMZGJ622621142289 have different cut-outs for the ISOFIX anchorages and installation of child restraints may differ slightly from the cars assessed by Euro NCAP.

The bumper scored maximum points for its protection of pedestrians' legs. However, the front edge of the bonnet offered poor protection to the pelvis of a struck pedestrian and scored no points. On the bonnet surface, head protection was predominantly good or adequate.

The passenger compartment remained stable in the frontal impact. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of both the driver and passenger. Mazda showed that a similar level of protection would be provided for occupants of different sizes and to those sat in different positions. In the side barrier test, dummy readings showed good protection of all body areas. However, the driver's door was found not to be fully latched when the car was inspected after the test and the car was penalised. There were no such problems in the side pole test and the car demonstrated adequate protection of the chest and good protection of all other body areas. The seat and head restraint provided good protection against whiplash injury in the event of a rear-end collision.
