Biggers Mazda – What to Know About the 2026 Mazda CX-90

The 2026 Mazda CX-90 elevates the three-row SUV experience with a balance of refined design, engaging performance, and everyday utility. At Biggers Mazda, serving South Elgin, Schaumburg, and Palatine, we see shoppers choose the CX-90 because it blends upscale craftsmanship with confidence-inspiring dynamics, all wrapped in a family-friendly package that feels rewarding to drive. Whether your week includes school runs, client meetings, or weekend road trips, the CX-90 is built to streamline your routine and make every mile more enjoyable.

Powertrain choices lead the conversation. The responsive inline-6 turbo delivers smooth, confident acceleration and standard all-wheel drive that inspires traction in rain and snow. For drivers focused on efficiency, the available plug-in hybrid (PHEV) adds electric-only capability for short errands while seamlessly combining gasoline and electric power on longer journeys. Mazda Intelligent Drive Select adapts the vehicle’s behavior with Normal, Sport, Off-Road, and available Towing modes, so you can tailor the feel to your route, your trailer, or your mood. This is the rare three-row SUV that feels composed and eager without sacrificing comfort.

Inside, the CX-90 prioritizes serenity and smart packaging. Available seating for seven or eight, generous legroom, and thoughtful storage give families real flexibility. Materials and finishes are carefully chosen, so touchpoints look and feel premium, while available features like a panoramic moonroof, heated and ventilated seats, and an immersive audio system make daily drives feel special. When duty calls, fold-flat seatbacks open up a wide, useful cargo area for strollers, sports gear, or home improvement runs.

Advanced driver-assistance features help the CX-90 support your awareness. Available technologies can alert you to cross-traffic, monitor blind spots, aid lane-keeping, and assist in stop-and-go driving. The goal is simple – reduce friction, enhance visibility, and provide an extra layer of confidence without feeling intrusive. Pair that with the available 360-degree view monitor for stress-lightened parking, and you have a big SUV that still feels easy to place in tight spaces.

Technology integration is both robust and intuitive. The infotainment experience emphasizes clarity with seamless smartphone connectivity and natural voice control. Mazda Connected Services adds practical tools – start the engine remotely on cold mornings, check if you locked the doors, or locate your vehicle in a busy lot. Families will appreciate charge ports available to all three rows, while the clean cabin layout keeps screens and information focused on what matters most to the driver.

Choosing your CX-90 is straightforward when you align features with your lifestyle. Prioritize daily efficiency and short commutes – consider the PHEV. Want maximum passing power and a classic long-range road trip feel – the turbocharged inline-6 is a compelling match. If you plan to tow, confirm proper equipment to take advantage of the CX-90’s capacity and pair it with the Towing mode for a more settled, confident experience. Our team can walk you through seating choices, wheel options, and packages to build a configuration that fits without overbuying.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Is the CX-90 comfortable for a full family and their gear?

Yes. With seating for seven or eight and fold-flat second and third rows, the CX-90 adapts to passengers or cargo with ease. The cabin stays quiet on the highway, and smart storage solutions keep daily essentials within reach.

How does the plug-in hybrid fit into everyday driving?

The CX-90 PHEV can handle short trips on electric power alone, then seamlessly blend gasoline and electric power for longer drives. Charge at home overnight and enjoy responsive performance without changing your routine.

What makes Mazda’s all-wheel drive feel different?

It is designed to monitor road and driver inputs proactively, then route power to help preserve grip before wheels slip. That predictive approach enhances confidence on wet, snowy, or unpaved roads while maintaining a natural steering feel.

Should I choose seven or eight seats?

If you frequently carry three in the second row, the eight-passenger bench maximizes capacity. If you prefer easier third-row access and individual comfort, the available captain’s chairs provide a premium, family-friendly layout.
