The 2026 Mazda CX-90 is here, and it delivers exactly what families and driving enthusiasts alike have been waiting for. With room for up to eight passengers, premium interior finishes, and advanced driving dynamics, the CX-90 brings together practicality and the performance spirit Mazda is known for.
Dynamic Platform and Driving Experience
Built on Mazda’s electrified Large Platform, the 2026 CX-90 combines engineering precision with intuitive handling. A double wishbone front suspension and multilink rear suspension give it excellent stability, while standard i-Activ AWD ensures confident traction. Mazda’s Kinematic Posture Control (KPC) enhances cornering by reducing body lift, keeping passengers steady and comfortable.
Power and Performance Highlights
Under the hood, Mazda offers multiple powertrains to fit different needs. The 3.3 Turbo engine produces 280 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque, paired with an efficient 48-volt mild-hybrid system. For those wanting more muscle, the 3.3 Turbo S delivers up to 340 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque on premium fuel. Both options return an impressive 23 mpg city, 28 mpg highway, and 25 mpg combined.
If electrification is your preference, the CX-90 PHEV combines a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with an electric motor and 17.8kWh battery. This system generates 323 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque, with an all-electric range of up to 26 miles. Perfect for short commutes, it can also handle family road trips with ease, offering up to 3,500 lbs. of towing capacity.
Interior Comfort and Connectivity
Inside, the 2026 CX-90 makes comfort a priority. Depending on trim, buyers can enjoy black or white Nappa leather seating, captain’s chairs in the second row, ventilated seats, and ambient lighting. Advanced features like a fully digital 12.3-inch TFT display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and wireless charging come standard on higher trims.
New for 2026, Alexa integration across all models adds improved voice control, making hands-free commands more natural. With up to six USB-C ports spread across all rows, passengers stay connected no matter where they sit.
Safety and Peace of Mind
Mazda equips the CX-90 lineup with an extensive suite of i-Activsense safety systems. Standard technologies include Blind Spot Monitoring, Lane-keep Assist, Smart Brake Support, and Driver Attention Alert. Higher trims add advanced aids like a 360° View Monitor, Head-on Traffic Avoidance Assist, and Driver Monitoring to ensure maximum safety.
