The 2026 Mazda CX-90 proves a three-row family SUV doesn't have to drive like a lumbering tank. Mazda's largest vehicle blends luxury comfort, sharp handling, and real performance, thanks to a turbocharged 3.3-liter inline-six engine and standard all-wheel drive. It delivers the rare combination of family-friendly practicality and sports-sedan driving dynamics.
Most full-size SUVs force you to choose between comfort, space, and performance. The CX-90 doesn't. It's a vehicle built around 'ands,' not 'buts': fast and comfortable, roomy and engaging to drive, practical and genuinely fun behind the wheel.
Key features include a 340-horsepower engine, double-wishbone suspension, and Kinematic Posture Control (KPC) for reduced body roll. The 0-60 mph time is around 7.0 seconds, making it quicker than many rivals like the Hyundai Palisade, though not the absolute fastest in its class.
The cabin offers premium comfort with supportive seats and available luxury touches. Advanced safety tech, including excellent collision avoidance, is a standout feature. While not the most tech-laden brand, Mazda has implemented useful systems well.
Priced from around $56,065 for the Turbo S Premium Sport, the CX-90 presents a compelling value against competitors like the Ford Explorer ST and Jeep Grand Wagoneer, offering a more balanced and luxurious package for the money.
