What’s New for the 2026 Mazda CX-90

The 2026 model year brings focused updates that enhance convenience and technology.

2026 Mazda CX-90 Powertrain Options and Pricing Overview

Three distinct engines define what you’ll experience behind the wheel. The base 3.3 Turbo delivers 280 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque through a turbocharged inline-six, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. This setup achieves 25 MPG combined while providing confident highway merging and acceleration.

The 3.3 Turbo S bumps output to 340 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque when running premium fuel. This high-output variant transforms the three-row SUV into something genuinely engaging to drive. The plug-in hybrid pairs a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with electric motors for 323 combined horsepower, up to 27 miles of electric-only range, and 56 MPGe combined efficiency.

Every configuration includes standard all-wheel drive for confident traction in varied conditions. Pricing runs from $38,800 for the base Select to $58,500 for the PHEV Premium Plus, with all figures excluding the destination charge.

3.3 Turbo Trims: Refined Power for Every Driver

The standard turbo trims form the backbone of the lineup, sharing that smooth turbocharged inline-six while differing in features and materials. Towing capacity reaches 3,500 pounds on the Select, jumping to 5,000 pounds on Preferred, Premium Sport, and Premium Plus variants.

3.3 Turbo Select

Starting at $38,800, the Select establishes what the CX-90 experience delivers without unnecessary complexity. LED headlights, automatic climate control, and comprehensive safety features come standard. The cabin seats eight passengers across three rows with leatherette upholstery and quality materials throughout.

This trim makes sense for buyers who want the CX-90’s fundamentals without paying for luxury touches they might not use. The turbocharged engine provides ample power for loaded highway driving, while the straightforward feature set keeps ownership costs reasonable.

3.3 Turbo Preferred

Priced at $42,950, the Preferred adds meaningful daily conveniences. Genuine leather seats replace the leatherette upholstery from the Select, a power liftgate simplifies cargo loading, and heated and ventilated front seats deliver comfort in varying temperatures. The 12.3-inch infotainment display becomes standard here, improving navigation and entertainment functionality.

Blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert enhance safety awareness in parking lots and heavy traffic. This trim maintains eight-passenger seating while elevating interior quality noticeably over the Select.

3.3 Turbo Premium Sport

The Premium Sport starts at $46,980 and brings athletic character through 21-inch Black Metallic alloy wheels and black exterior trim. Mi-Drive adds Sport, Off-Road, and Towing modes that adjust throttle response and transmission behavior. Inside, leather seats in black or greige replace synthetic materials, while heated front seats and a power sunroof enhance comfort.

Front and rear parking sensors assist in tight spaces, and the total of six USB-C ports ensures devices stay charged throughout the cabin. Seating configurations include seven-passenger captain’s chairs or eight-passenger bench options. The 12-speaker Bose system completely transforms cabin acoustics.

3.3 Turbo Premium Plus

At $50,270, the Premium Plus tops the standard turbo range with Nappa leather seats and Signature headlight and taillight elements. Front Cross Traffic Alert with Brake adds protection when backing out of parking spaces, while the 360° View Monitor includes See-through and Trailer Hitch View for comprehensive visibility.

Advanced safety technology reaches full expression here, with features that reduce driver fatigue during long commutes. Both seven and eight-passenger seating remain available, letting families choose their preferred configuration.

3.3 Turbo S Trims: Elevated Performance

The Turbo S variants add 60 horsepower over the standard turbo, delivering 340 horses and 369 lb-ft of torque on premium fuel. That power increase genuinely changes the driving character, providing sports-car acceleration in three-row practicality. All Turbo S models achieve 5,000-pound towing capacity and offer seven or eight-passenger seating options.

Many San Juan Capistrano drivers appreciate the Turbo S’s combination of everyday usability and genuine performance capability. Browse our new vehicle inventory to see which Turbo S configurations we currently have in stock.

3.3 Turbo S Premium Sport

New for 2026, the Turbo S Premium Sport starts at $53,940 and features dark contrast exterior trimming that sets it apart visually. This configuration includes nearly the complete feature roster while focusing on athletic character. The turbocharged six pulls hard from low RPMs, delivering immediate thrust when you hit the accelerator.

Sport suspension and larger wheels sharpen handling without compromising ride quality. This trim appeals to enthusiasts who want aggressive styling backed by real performance.

3.3 Turbo S Premium Plus

At $57,370, the Turbo S Premium Plus combines maximum turbocharged performance with every available luxury feature. Ventilated front and second-row seats provide cooling airflow, while second-row captain’s chairs include a center console for added convenience. Nappa leather with premium accents creates a thoroughly upscale environment.

This represents the most capable gasoline-only configuration you can buy, rivaling luxury brands that cost significantly more. The powerful engine makes highway merging effortless while passengers enjoy refined comfort throughout.

PHEV Trims: Electrified Efficiency Meets Luxury

All three PHEV models share identical powertrains producing 323 combined horsepower, up to 27 miles of electric-only range, and 56 MPGe combined efficiency. The system seamlessly blends a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with electric motors and battery pack. Every PHEV seats seven passengers, eliminating the eight-passenger bench option due to battery packaging.

PHEV Preferred

Starting at $50,495, the PHEV Preferred serves as your entry into electrified CX-90 ownership. Synthetic leather upholstery, heated front seats, and the full driver-assistance suite come standard. The feature list exceeds what the base turbo trims offer, reflecting the PHEV’s premium positioning.

The 27-mile electric range handles typical errands and commutes, while the gas engine eliminates range anxiety on longer trips. This configuration delivers hybrid capability without excessive luxury additions.

PHEV Premium Sport

Priced at $55,300, the PHEV Premium Sport adds sporting character through larger wheels and enhanced suspension. The electric motors provide instant torque that complements the turbo four’s power delivery, creating surprisingly quick acceleration.

Interior upgrades mirror the gasoline Premium Sport, including leather seating and premium Bose audio. The electrified powertrain operates silently during electric-only mode, creating a serene cabin environment.

PHEV Premium Plus

At $58,500, the PHEV Premium Plus tops the entire CX-90 lineup. Genuine Nappa leather upholstery, ventilated front and second-row seats, and every available technology feature come standard. This delivers a thoroughly modern luxury SUV experience while offering the environmental benefits of plug-in operation.

Short trips operate in whisper-quiet electric mode, while longer journeys benefit from impressive hybrid efficiency. For families seeking both luxury and reduced environmental impact, this trim offers everything without compromise.
