IIHS tweeted today that the "2018 Mazda CX-5 is now a TOP SAFETY PICK+ when equipped with specific headlights." Here's the IIHS page for the 2018 Mazda CX-5.

It also looks like NHTSA now has two variants of the 2018 CX-5 listed. If you search for "2018 Mazda CX-5" at https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings you will see 2018 Mazda CX-5 "Later Release" (5 stars!) and "Early Release" (4 stars).
I could not find any details on exactly what the cutoff date is for the "Later Release". Does anyone happen to know where/how to find that information?
Note that this applies to two trims only:
- Grand Touring (built after March 2018)
- Sport trim equipped with i-ACTIVSENSE package (built after March 2018)
