When a three-row SUV handles the daily grind with poise and then feels invigorating on an open stretch, it earns a special place in your routine. That’s where the 2026 Mazda CX-90 3.3 Turbo S Premium Sport makes its mark. It elevates Mazda’s three-row formula with a stronger tune of the e-SKYACTIV®-G 3.3L Inline 6 Turbocharged engine, standard i-ACTIV AWD®, and design cues that amplify its confident stance. Step inside and the harmonious cabin reveals itself: materials feel premium to the touch, the layout is intuitive, and the drive is defined by a reassuring calm backed by athletic capability.

Pair that with the Mazda Driver Personalization System, and your seat, mirrors, and other preferences can be ready the moment you slide behind the wheel. It’s a modern, quietly confident setup that fits busy lives.
