Does my Mazda have adaptive cruise control?
I just bought a new Mazda 3. I was really excited, but the dealer didn’t really take the time to tell me about all of the features. Does my Mazda have adaptive cruise control? Also … what the heck does adaptive cruise control actually do?

It’s standard on all 2019+ Mazdas, including your Mazda 3, regardless of which trim level you selected.
Adaptive cruise control is sort of like old-school cruise control, in that it lets the car handle acceleration without you having to constantly adjust the speed with your foot on the accelerator (gas pedal). But using fancy sensors and modern technology, adaptive cruise control can do a whole lot more.
Modern adaptive cruise control systems can automatically keep a safe distance from cars ahead, based on how many car lengths of space you want (three or more is ideal for safety). It can also slow down the car, all the way to a dead stop, if the car senses an obstruction in the road. And some can even adjust your speed to keep you at or below the speed limit, too.
These modern safety features can also help you save money on car insurance, versus cars without them. But for even bigger savings, you’ll want to download America’s top-rated car insurance app,
