2026 Mazda CX-90 Performance and Capability
The 2026 Mazda CX-90 Inline 6 lineup is powered by an e-SKYACTIV®-G 3.3-liter turbocharged inline-six engine offered in two states of tune. CX-90 3.3 Turbo models produce up to 280 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque, while 3.3 Turbo S models deliver up to 340 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque when using recommended premium fuel of 91 octane or higher.
Both versions pair a SKYACTIV®-Drive 8-speed automatic transmission with manual-shift mode, and i-ACTIV AWD comes standard across the lineup.
EPA-estimated fuel economy for the inline-six lineup is 23 MPG city, 28 MPG highway, and 25 MPG combined. Depending on wheel size, ground clearance is 8.0 or 8.1 inches.
Properly equipped CX-90 models can tow up to 5,000 pounds. Towing capacity varies by trim and equipment, with the 5,000-pound maximum available on the 3.3 Turbo Premium Sport and higher trims when equipped with the required Genuine Mazda hitch and Towing mode.
Three-Row Seating and Cargo Space
The 2026 Mazda CX-90 offers three rows of seating with room for up to eight passengers. Depending on trim and configuration, shoppers can choose between second-row captain’s chairs and bench seating, making it easier to prioritize passenger capacity, second-row comfort, or third-row access.
Behind the third row, the CX-90 provides up to 14.9 cubic feet of cargo space. Folding the third row expands capacity to as much as 40.0 cubic feet, while folding both the second- and third-row seatbacks opens up to 74.2 cubic feet of cargo room.
Because seating configurations vary by trim, comparing them in person can be especially helpful if you’ll regularly use all three rows.

An available 360° View Monitor provides a composite view of the area around the vehicle. On equipped models, See-Through View can help provide additional visibility around the CX-90, while Trailer Hitch View can assist when lining up with a trailer. The 360° View Monitor is available on the 3.3 Turbo Premium Plus and 3.3 Turbo S models.
