2024 Mazda CX-50

Find out which cars under $40,000 have received two of the industry’s best safety awards.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and Consumer Reports have released their annual list of recommended vehicles for teens, and the 2024 list offers more safety for less, as used- and new-car prices stabilize.

These cars offer panoramic moonroofs or sunroofs either as standard or optional equipment for 2024.

The 71 vehicles that qualified for the awards for 2024 is an increase of 23 over 2023, when stricter requirements began to take effect.

An increasing number of vehicles with sticker prices of $40,000 or less, some much less, offer heated mirrors.

The biggest changes to the 2024 CX-50 are wireless phone charging for the 2.5 S Premium, plus new dampers and recalibrated power steering.
