A Closer Look at the 2026 Mazda CX-90
The 2026 Mazda CX-90 is the kind of three-row SUV that makes your research easy: it pairs responsive performance with premium interiors and smart, confidence-boosting technology. For Colorado Springs drivers comparing family SUVs, this model’s standard i-Activ AWD®, available 340-hp Inline 6, and thoughtful cabin design stand out right away. Seating for seven or eight means you can tailor the configuration to your crew, while available features like a panoramic moonroof, Nappa leather, and the 360° View Monitor elevate daily drives and weekend getaways alike. If you’re cross-shopping across the segment, note how many rivals still rely on four-cylinder power and optional AWD. With the CX-90, robust power and standard traction are baked in. At Bob Penkhus Mazda at Powers, our team can help you match the right trim and options to the way you drive around the Front Range, from school runs and I-25 commutes to scenic routes near Garden of the Gods.
Performance & Capability for Every Mile
The 2026 Mazda CX-90 delivers the poised, connected driving feel Mazda is known for—now optimized for a spacious, three-row platform. The e-SKYACTIV® G 3.3L Inline 6 Turbocharged engine provides up to 340 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque on Turbo S models (when using recommended premium fuel), while Turbo models offer a robust 280 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque. Standard i-Activ AWD® continually monitors traction needs to deliver smooth, predictable control, and the SKYACTIV-Drive 8-speed automatic adds crisp response. With Mi-Drive modes—Normal, Sport, Off-Road, and available Towing—you can adjust the vehicle’s character for your route. When properly equipped with a tow hitch, the CX-90 can tow up to 5,000 pounds, making it a smart partner for small campers or toys. Kinematic Posture Control helps reduce body lift in corners for added composure, which you’ll appreciate on winding roads up and down the Front Range.

Available USB-C ports in the 2nd and 3rd rows keep devices powered, and the 360° View Monitor helps with tight parking around the Powers corridor.

How the 2026 Mazda CX-90 Stands Out
- Standard AWD: i-Activ AWD® on every trim, while many rivals make AWD optional
- Inline 6 power: Available 340-hp e-SKYACTIV® G 3.3L Turbo vs. competitors’ common turbo-four setups
- Towing strength: Up to 5,000 lbs when properly equipped, more than many class alternatives
- Parking visibility: Available 360° View Monitor with See-through View and Trailer Hitch View
- Premium finish: Refined materials and available Nappa leather rival luxury entries
- Drive modes: Mi-Drive with Off-Road and available Towing for confident adaptability
Compared to typical three-row SUVs, the CX-90 brings a more engaging drive thanks to its available Inline 6 and balanced chassis. Standard i-Activ AWD® means you don’t have to hunt for traction packages, and the available 360° View Monitor gives you a clearer view when parking downtown or hitching a trailer for a weekend near Rampart Reservoir. Many competitors rely on smaller-displacement powertrains and lower towing thresholds; the CX-90’s available 5,000-pound rating (properly equipped) expands what you can bring along. For Colorado Springs families, this blend of muscle, traction, and premium finishes creates a compelling daily driver that also feels special for longer hauls along US-24 and I-25.
