Bob Penkhus Mazda at Powers - i-ACTIV AWD and the 360° View Monitor on the 2026 Mazda CX-90 for Monument, CO Drivers
In Monument, CO, a three-row SUV has to handle more than school runs and errands. It needs confident traction as storms roll off the Rampart Range, rock-solid stability on winding county roads, and technology that makes tight parking and trailhead turnarounds easier. That’s where the 2026 Mazda CX-90’s standard i-ACTIV AWD® and available 360° View Monitor with See-through View stand out. i-ACTIV AWD® continuously monitors wheel load, temperature, steering, and yaw data, then sends torque where it’s needed before slip occurs. It’s proactive rather than reactive, which you feel as seamless stability on slushy mornings and crisp cornering when the pavement dries out. The 360° View Monitor adds a new dimension to low-speed confidence—especially in cramped lots, angled driveways, and crowded trailheads—by creating a composite image of the area around your CX-90 and even providing Trailer Hitch View to simplify lining up a small camper or bike trailer.
For families balancing activities across the Tri-Lakes area, this capability doesn’t just reduce stress—it streamlines every maneuver. Mazda Intelligent Drive Select (Mi-Drive) lets you toggle Normal, Sport, Off-Road, and available Towing modes so throttle response, transmission mapping, and torque distribution match the moment. Add in wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ for seamless directions to Fox Run Regional Park or dinner on Second Street, and the CX-90 brings together the intuitive control you want with the tech you rely on. Available features like the panoramic moonroof elevate cabin ambience, while an available Bose® audio system keeps every playlist rich and detailed—perfect for longer drives to Castlewood Canyon or weekend excursions along Highway 105. It’s a polished blend of refinement and readiness tailored for Monument’s mix of suburban streets and gateway-to-adventure roads.
Drivers also appreciate how the CX-90’s i-Activsense® safety suite supports awareness without distraction. Standard features such as Smart Brake Support, Blind Spot Monitoring, and Lane-keep Assist provide timely alerts and automatic assistance in common scenarios—busy intersections, lane changes on I-25, and narrow two-lane roads. Available Driver Monitoring watches for drowsiness or inattention, while Head-on Traffic Avoidance Assist can help you steer clear in critical situations. And because the CX-90 rides on a platform tuned for responsive handling, the chassis complements the electronics with a natural, confident feel behind the wheel.
When you’re ready to compare trims or see technologies in action, Bob Penkhus Mazda at Powers can demonstrate i-ACTIV AWD® behavior on a variety of routes and show the 360° View Monitor’s See-through View in real-world tight spots.
