The 2026 Mazda CX-90 is a three-row SUV engineered for drivers who want premium craftsmanship, confident performance, and everyday versatility in one meticulously tuned package. Researching locally around Milwaukee means looking beyond simple specs to how a vehicle fits real routes like I-94, the Zoo Interchange, or a quick jog across Layton Avenue. The CX-90 stands out because it brings a rear-biased architecture, standard i-ACTIV AWD®, and an e-SKYACTIV®-G 3.3L Inline 6 Turbo to a class dominated by front-drive-based layouts and conventional powertrains. Inside, the cabin is crafted with intention, offering flexible seating for seven or eight, available premium materials, thoughtful power outlets including 2nd- and 3rd-row USB-C ports on select models, and available features like a panoramic moonroof and Bose® audio. And with Mazda’s i-Activsense® safety technologies, including standard driver-assistance systems and available 360° View Monitor with See-through View, the CX-90 adds smart confidence to busy city streets and weekend getaways alike.
On paper, the 2026 Mazda CX-90 impresses with power and traction. On the road, it delivers balanced control that feels settled over expansion joints and composed through long sweepers—exactly what you want merging onto the Marquette Interchange or navigating quick lane changes along I-43. The heart of the lineup is Mazda’s e-SKYACTIV®-G 3.3L Inline 6 Turbo paired with a responsive SKYACTIV®-Drive 8-speed automatic and standard i-ACTIV AWD®. Turbo models deliver up to 280 hp and 332 lb-ft of torque, while Turbo S models reach up to 340 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque when using recommended premium fuel. With Mazda Intelligent Drive Select (Mi-Drive) modes—Normal, Sport, Off-Road, and available Towing—the CX-90 adapts to the moment, and when properly equipped with a tow hitch, it can tow up to 5,000 pounds. Ground clearance checks in at up to 8.1 inches, and Kinematic Posture Control helps reduce body lift to keep the vehicle feeling planted through corners.
Slide into the 2026 Mazda CX-90 and you’ll find a cabin engineered for quiet comfort and smart convenience. Mazda’s craftsmanship shows up in the stitching, the materials, and the way controls fall to hand. The available panoramic moonroof fills the space with light, while the available Bose® system delivers rich audio for podcasts on Lincoln Memorial Drive or playlists on a family trip to the lakefront. It’s easy to keep everyone connected—Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ bring familiar apps to the center display, while Mazda Connected Services lets you remotely start the engine, lock or unlock doors, and locate your vehicle using the MyMazda app. Select models add handy features like the 360° View Monitor with See-through View for low-speed maneuvering, plus the Mazda Driver Personalization System, which can recognize and recall preferred driver settings to make every departure feel tailored.
The 2026 Mazda CX-90 is a 2025 IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+, a recognition that reflects its robust safety engineering and advanced driver-assistance technologies. Standard i-Activsense® features help alert you to hazards and support driver awareness when traffic gets dense around the Stadium Interchange. Available aids like Front Cross Traffic Alert and Brake, Cruising & Traffic Support, and the 360° View Monitor help with tough visibility angles and stop-and-go congestion. From backing out of tight downtown spots to monitoring lane position on longer commutes, the CX-90 helps add calm to your daily drive.
