New & Used 2026 Mazda CX-90 for Sale nearWeyerhaeuser, WI

Is the 2026 Mazda CX-90 a good car?

Yes — you rate it 5/5, and our experts rate it 6/10. The model scores 8/10 across Look and feel and Safety.

The 2026 Mazda CX-90 is a three-row midsize crossover SUV that leans into a premium look and feel while still aiming to be engaging to drive. It pairs that upscale presentation with solid safety ratings and a standard gasoline powertrain that is fairly fuel efficient, plus an available plug-in hybrid powertrain if you want another option.

The trade-offs are clear: the powertrain can feel unrefined, the third row is cramped, and the technology is unintuitive. Even so, if you want a family SUV with style and driving enjoyment, it has a strong case.

Good and great deals account for 36.3% of listings, so there is some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2026 Mazda CX-90 reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The CX-90 is presented as a premium-feeling SUV with a fairly fuel-efficient standard gasoline powertrain, and Mazda’s own expert notes emphasize its value, safety, and efficiency. The powertrain is described as surprisingly fuel efficient unless you regularly push it hard, and the plug-in hybrid option broadens the ownership picture for shoppers who want another route.

Mazda also includes a first scheduled maintenance visit on the house.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that the same refinement issues you notice on a test drive can remain part of daily ownership.

What should I look for when buying a used 2026 Mazda CX-90?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 93.8% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a vehicle history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re considering a higher-mileage example or one with optional equipment. Focus on how the powertrain behaves at low speeds, how the technology responds, and whether the cabin and third row fit your needs in person.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base Select trim gets the smaller 10.25-inch infotainment display, wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa compatibility, while higher trims move to a larger 12.3-inch screen, wireless smartphone integration, and wireless charging. If you want the most complete equipment set, the Premium Plus trim adds several useful safety upgrades.
• Powertrain: The standard turbocharged 3.3-liter inline-six uses a 48-volt mild-hybrid system and idle-stop technology, while the plug-in hybrid pairs a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with a 68-kilowatt electric motor and a 17.8-kilowatt-hour battery pack. The PHEV can travel 26 miles on electric power.
• Safety package: Standard equipment includes forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitors, rear cross-traffic alert, safe-exit warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, and adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability. Premium Sport and higher trims add active blind-spot monitors, lane-keep assist, head-on traffic avoidance steering assist, Cruising & Traffic Support, and post-collision braking. Premium Plus adds front cross-traffic alert, automatic intersection braking, automatic rear braking with pedestrian detection, and a surround-view camera system with see-through and trailer-hitch views.
• Infotainment: The base Select trim uses a 10.25-inch display with wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while other trims get a 12.3-inch screen with wireless smartphone integration and wireless charging. The larger display is touch-sensitive only when you’re using smartphone integration.
• Fuel efficiency: The official combined rating for the 3.3 Turbo and Turbo S is 25 mpg, and the plug-in hybrid has a 26-mile electric-only range.

Which 2026 Mazda CX-90 trim should I buy?

The 2026 Mazda CX-90 is offered in 10 trim levels: Select, Preferred, Premium Sport, Premium Plus, Premium Sport, Premium Plus, Preferred, Premium Sport, Premium Plus, and Premium Plus.

Here's the short version:

• Select: This is the entry point, and it makes the CX-90’s upscale design more accessible. You get the smaller infotainment screen, wired smartphone integration, and the core driver-assistance suite, so it suits you if you want the lowest starting point and can live without the extra convenience features.
• Preferred: This is the better everyday choice if you want a step up from the base trim without chasing the most expensive versions. It adds the larger screen and wireless smartphone features, which makes it easier to live with.
• Premium Sport: This is the best-value trim if you want a stronger mix of equipment and safety tech. It adds the more advanced driver-assistance content and the more complete tech experience, making it a smart middle ground.
• Premium Plus: This is the trim to target if you want the most complete safety and convenience package. It adds front cross-traffic alert, automatic intersection braking, automatic rear braking with pedestrian detection, and the surround-view camera system.

Premium Sport and higher trims also add the more advanced safety and driver-assistance features noted above.

Is the 2026 Mazda CX-90 safe?

The 2026 Mazda CX-90 earned the highest Top Safety Pick+ award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), and it earns a five-star overall rating from NHTSA, with four-star ratings for driver and front passenger protection in a frontal-impact collision.

It earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

Standard driver-assistance features include forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitors, rear cross-traffic alert, safe-exit warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, and adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability. All but the base Select trim have front and rear parking sensors.

Premium Sport and higher trims also add active blind-spot monitors, lane-keep assist, head-on traffic avoidance steering assist, Cruising & Traffic Support, and post-collision braking. Premium Plus adds front cross-traffic alert, automatic intersection braking, automatic rear braking with pedestrian detection, and a surround-view camera system with see-through and trailer-hitch views.

One caveat is that the steering-assist features are not especially sophisticated, and they do not work well in some situations where similar systems in other vehicles do better.

Should I buy a 2026 Mazda CX-90 or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2026 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2026 if:

• 36.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 93.8% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2026 updates are minor, limited to wheel, color, and trim changes that unify the lineup.

Consider the 2025 if:

• It offers unusual powertrain choices and a premium interior with entertaining driving dynamics.

The bottom line: If you want the freshest version of the CX-90 with the current lineup structure, the 2026 is the straightforward pick. If you’re shopping mainly on value and can find a well-kept 2025 at a better price, that earlier model year still gives you much of the same appeal.
