CardinaleWay Mazda Corona - What to Know About the 2026 Mazda CX-90
The 2026 Mazda CX-90 arrives with poise, purpose, and a driver-first philosophy that elevates every mile. Built on Mazda’s large-architecture platform, this three-row SUV blends elegant design with confident performance, premium craftsmanship, and advanced connectivity. At CardinaleWay Mazda Corona, we view the CX-90 as the ideal balance of luxury and practicality for families and enthusiasts who want an elevated daily drive without sacrificing versatility.
Performance is the CX-90’s calling card. The available inline 6 turbo engine delivers smooth, linear power and a refined soundtrack that encourages long road trips and spirited weekend routes alike. Standard i-Activ all-wheel drive constantly monitors conditions to help you stay planted on dry pavement, rain, or light trails. Mazda Intelligent Drive Select offers modes for Normal, Sport, Off-Road, and an available Towing setting, so you can tailor the vehicle’s responses to your day. Kinematic Posture Control helps reduce body lift for more composed cornering, making the CX-90 feel agile and secure on winding roads and freeway ramps.
Efficiency-minded drivers will appreciate the available plug-in hybrid powertrain. The CX-90 PHEV can handle short daily errands on electric power when charged, yet seamlessly switches to its gasoline engine for longer journeys. It’s a practical approach that reduces fuel stops and keeps performance responsive, even with a full cabin or cargo area. For many households, the PHEV’s flexibility becomes a smart, confidence-inspiring way to transition into electrified driving.
Inside, the CX-90 is a quiet, thoughtfully arranged space designed for real-life use. Depending on configuration, it accommodates up to eight passengers, with available second-row captain’s chairs that make third-row access simple. Premium materials, available Nappa leather seating, and an available panoramic moonroof create an airy, upscale ambiance. Thoughtful storage solutions, easy-to-fold seating, and generous cargo flexibility make it simple to load strollers, sports gear, or a week’s worth of luggage without compromising comfort.
Technology enhances every trip. An available 360-degree view monitor with see-through and trailer hitch views supports tricky parking and alignment tasks. USB-C charging points positioned throughout the cabin help keep every device powered, and Mazda Connected Services enables remote features like engine start, lock and unlock, and vehicle status checks from your smartphone, along with available in-vehicle Wi-Fi. Add the available premium audio system and you have a rolling retreat that sounds as good as it drives.
