CardinaleWay Mazda Peoria - What to Know About the 2026 Mazda CX-90
The 2026 Mazda CX-90 brings three-row versatility together with the refined driving character Mazda is known for. From first impression to daily commute and weekend getaways, this SUV is designed to elevate each mile with premium materials, intuitive technology, and confident performance. If you want a family-friendly crossover that still feels engaging from behind the wheel, the CX-90 earns a place at the top of the list.
Under the hood, the CX-90 delivers a smooth, responsive experience with an available turbocharged inline-6 that balances power and efficiency, as well as a plug-in hybrid configuration for those who prefer electric commuting with the flexibility of gasoline for longer trips. Standard all-wheel drive contributes to planted handling, and Mazda Intelligent Drive Select offers modes for Normal, Sport, Off-Road, and available Towing—so the CX-90 adapts quickly to your plans and road conditions. Chassis tuning and features like Kinematic Posture Control are engineered to maximize stability through corners without sacrificing comfort.
Design is a core part of the CX-90 story. The exterior blends elegant proportions with sculpted lines that catch the light and convey motion even at a standstill. Inside, the cabin focuses on calm—the layout is uncluttered, the materials are carefully chosen, and available enhancements like Nappa leather and rich accent trims create a welcoming space. Seating for up to eight means you can bring more people or pack more cargo, and available second-row captain’s chairs make it easier to navigate the third row. An available panoramic moonroof adds natural light to every seat, turning routine drives into something more uplifting.
Technology in the CX-90 is all about seamless connection. The center display presents key information clearly, while smartphone integration keeps your favorite apps within easy reach. With connected services through the MyMazda app, you can locate your vehicle, check status, or start it remotely for a cool or warm cabin before you step inside. Helpful camera tech—including an available 360-degree view with see-through perspectives—simplifies parking, tight maneuvers, and trailer alignment. Driver personalization can remember seat, mirror, and interface preferences to make every start feel familiar.
Confidence is built into the CX-90’s safety strategy. An extensive suite of i-Activsense features helps you monitor the environment, alerting you to hazards and supporting your steering and braking when needed. Systems such as Smart Brake Support, Blind Spot monitoring and assistance, lane keeping support, and driver attention monitoring work in the background to reduce surprises. Available advanced views around the vehicle help when visibility is compromised, and robust crash protection underscores Mazda’s commitment to occupant safety.
Whether you are upgrading from a compact crossover or stepping out of a full-size SUV, the CX-90’s blend of composure, space, and thoughtful details stands out.
