The tested model of Mazda Tribute was introduced in 2001. During 2004 side airbags with head protection became standard equipment. This assessment applies to the Tribute with side airbags. The 'Limited' variant of the Ford Escape is based on the same vehicle and also has side airbags. It can be expected to provide similar crashworthiness.

Vehicles tested after 1 January 2008 require Electronic Stability Control in order achieve a 5 star rating. This vehicle was tested prior to this date and may or may not meet this new requirement.

Dual front airbags are also standard. ABS brakes are available on some variants. Electronic stability control is not available. The front seat belt buckles are mounted on the seats and the upper anchorages are adjustable. These features improve the fit of the seat belt. Pretensioners are fitted to the front seat belts to reduce slack in the event of a crash.
