Bob Penkhus Mazda at Powers - What to Know About the 2026 Mazda CX-90
The 2026 Mazda CX-90 brings three-row versatility together with engaging driving dynamics, refined craftsmanship, and thoughtful technology—perfect for families who want more than a conventional SUV. From its sculpted KODO design to an interior tailored for quiet comfort, the CX-90 is engineered to elevate everyday driving while accommodating school runs, road trips, and everything in between. If you’re beginning your research, this guide lays out what matters most: performance confidence, premium cabin features, smart tech, and how to choose the right configuration for your lifestyle.
Performance is where the CX-90 stands apart. Mazda’s available inline 6 turbo powertrain delivers smooth, confident acceleration, while an available plug-in hybrid option adds the flexibility to drive electric for short trips and combine gas and electric for longer journeys. Standard i-Activ all-wheel drive helps you feel planted in changing conditions, and Mazda Intelligent Drive Select lets you tailor response with modes for everyday driving, spirited moments, unpaved paths, and towing. The chassis tuning remains faithful to Mazda’s driver-first philosophy—so you get a composed, connected feel without sacrificing ride comfort for passengers in all three rows.
Inside, the CX-90 balances upscale materials with practical space. Depending on configuration, you can seat up to eight or opt for available second-row captain’s chairs to give passengers their own space. An available panoramic moonroof brightens the cabin, while available premium audio and well-placed USB-C ports help everyone stay entertained and charged. The cabin is designed to be hushed and harmonious, with intuitive controls that keep your eyes on the road. When life demands flexibility, the CX-90’s cargo area and split-folding seats make quick work of bulky gear, grocery runs, and weekend luggage.
Technology in the CX-90 is purposeful and easy to use. The Mazda Connect infotainment system integrates with your smartphone, and Mazda Connected Services lets you remotely locate, lock, or start your vehicle from the app. Available driver assistance features—such as 360-degree viewing, smart braking support, lane-keeping assistance, and blind spot alerts—are designed to enhance awareness without intruding on the driving experience. The result is a confident, modern SUV that keeps you connected and supported whether you’re navigating city streets or heading into the mountains.
