The 2026 Mazda CX-90 is Mazda’s flagship three-row crossover, blending upscale Japanese craftsmanship with the kind of driving engagement usually reserved for luxury brands. Built on Mazda’s electrified Large Platform with a longitudinal layout, double-wishbone front suspension, multilink rear suspension, and standard i-Activ AWD, the CX-90 is engineered to deliver confident handling alongside everyday family practicality. For 2026, the lineup gains standard Alexa voice commands across every trim, a new 3.3 Turbo S Premium Sport model with blackout exterior styling, and a new Polymetal Gray Metallic premium paint color. With seating for up to eight, three distinct powertrains, and a robust suite of standard safety technology, the CX-90 is built to elevate the way families travel.
CX-90 3.3 Turbo (Inline-Six)
The CX-90 3.3 Turbo is powered by Mazda’s e-Skyactiv G 3.3-liter turbocharged inline-six paired with M-Hybrid Boost, a 48-volt mild-hybrid system that sharpens low-speed throttle response and improves efficiency. The engine produces 280 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque on regular 87-octane fuel, and routes power through an 8-speed automatic transmission with standard i-Activ AWD. EPA estimates land at 23 mpg city, 28 mpg highway, and 25 mpg combined. With Mazda Genuine Towing Accessories, 3.3 Turbo Premium Sport and Premium Plus models can tow up to 5,000 pounds; Select and Preferred trims are rated up to 3,500 pounds.
CX-90 3.3 Turbo S (High-Output Inline-Six)
Turbo S models step up to a higher-output tune of the same e-Skyactiv G 3.3-liter inline-six, producing 340 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque on recommended 91-octane premium fuel (319 horsepower on 87-octane). EPA estimates remain 23 mpg city, 28 mpg highway, and 25 mpg combined. Every 3.3 Turbo S model comes standard with Mi-Drive (Mazda Intelligent Drive Select) for Normal, Sport, Off-Road, and Towing modes, plus a maximum tow rating of 5,000 pounds when equipped with Mazda Genuine Towing Accessories.
CX-90 Plug-in Hybrid
The CX-90 PHEV pairs a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine with an electric motor and a 17.8 kWh high-capacity battery. Total output is 323 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque on recommended 91-octane premium fuel, with an EPA-estimated 26 miles of all-electric driving range. The PHEV operates purely on electric power in a wide range of scenarios, including freeway cruising, and includes Mi-Drive with Sport, Off-Road, and dedicated EV modes. Every PHEV model can tow up to 3,500 pounds with Mazda Genuine Towing Accessories.
The 2026 CX-90 carries Mazda’s Kodo design language with a long hood, set-back cabin, and signature wing grille treatment that emphasizes its longitudinal-engine proportions. Every model rolls on at least 19-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, with 21-inch wheels standard on Preferred and above. Premium Sport variants add gloss-black grille mesh, black chrome badging, black metallic 21-inch wheels, and blacked-out exterior trim. Top-tier Premium Plus and Turbo S trims gain Signature LED headlights and taillights along with an Adaptive Front-lighting System that turns the lights with the road for improved low-light visibility.
Inside, the cabin is built around the driver. The 3.3 Turbo Select features a 10.25-inch center display with Mazda Connect, while Preferred and higher trims upgrade to a larger 12.3-inch center display with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ connectivity, both with touchscreen capability, along with wireless phone charging. Premium Sport and Premium Plus trims add a fully digital 12.3-inch instrument display, a head-up Active Driving Display, a frameless auto-dimming rearview mirror with HomeLink®, Mazda Online Navigation with over-the-air updates, and a Bose® 12-speaker premium audio system. Every 2026 CX-90 now includes standard Alexa voice commands for hands-free control of compatible smart-home and navigation functions. Three-zone automatic climate control with third-row vents and dual USB-C ports in every row are standard across the lineup.
Every 2026 Mazda CX-90 comes standard with Mazda’s i-Activsense suite of advanced driver-assistance technologies. Standard features across the lineup include:
Premium Sport, Premium Plus, and Turbo S trims add Cruising & Traffic Support, Emergency Lane Keeping with Blind Spot Assist, Road Keep Assist, Head-on Traffic Avoidance Assist, and Secondary Collision Reduction.
