2026 Mazda CX-90 Trims Guide – First Look

A smart way to compare 2026 Mazda CX-90 trims

The 2026 Mazda CX-90 lineup gives shoppers six Inline 6 trim levels to consider: 3.3 Turbo Select, 3.3 Turbo Preferred, 3.3 Turbo Premium Sport, 3.3 Turbo Premium Plus, 3.3 Turbo S Premium Sport, and 3.3 Turbo S Premium Plus. Each one shares the same three row CX-90 identity, but Mazda separates them by power, design direction, cabin materials, and convenience features. If you want the full vehicle overview first, start with our 2026 Mazda CX-90 research hub.

Mazda positions the CX-90 as a three row SUV that blends family flexibility with a more premium, driver focused feel. Official Mazda highlights include seating for up to eight passengers, available second row captain’s chairs, available panoramic moonroof, standard rear biased i-Activ AWD, and Kinematic Posture Control that helps minimize body roll while enhancing cornering feel. That means trim shopping is not only about choosing a price point. It is also about deciding how much performance, upscale finish, and specialized equipment you want in your CX-90.

The lineup also has a few details that make the 2026 model year stand out. Mazda emphasizes the new CX-90 3.3 Turbo S Premium Sport, which brings the higher output Turbo S powertrain together with a darker sport themed presentation. Mazda also highlights flexible 3-row seating, expansive cargo space, and trim-dependent towing capability that ranges from 3,500 to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped. The best way to compare these trims is to think about daily priorities first, then match them to the feature set that supports that routine.

• Trim lineup Mazda lists: 3.3 Turbo Select, Preferred, Premium Sport, Premium Plus, Turbo S Premium Sport, Turbo S Premium Plus
• Seating note Mazda lists: Up to 8 passengers, depending on configuration
• Handling feature Mazda highlights: Kinematic Posture Control

Select and Preferred make a strong case for everyday family use

CX-90 3.3 Turbo Select is the trim to start with if you want the foundation of the lineup without jumping immediately into the upper tiers. Mazda says Select includes a 280-horsepower 3.3L Turbo Inline 6 engine, standard i-Activ AWD, leatherette-trimmed seats, and 3-row seating for up to eight passengers. That gives Select a straightforward role in the range. It is the trim for shoppers who want the CX-90 experience, three row flexibility, and Mazda’s Inline 6 layout in the most accessible form.

Preferred adds a more polished comfort story without changing the overall mission of the vehicle. Mazda highlights a power sliding-glass moonroof with tilt feature, leather-trimmed heated front and second-row seats, and 21-inch alloy wheels with Silver Metallic finish. For many shoppers, that combination will feel like the point where CX-90 starts to move from practical family SUV into a more premium daily driver. If you want to spend more time with the cabin details and seating environment, our Mazda CX-90 interior guide is a helpful next step.

These two trims are especially important because they establish the baseline personality of the CX-90. Select focuses on core usability and room for passengers, while Preferred adds the kind of comfort touches many buyers want every day. If your goal is a family-centered SUV with Mazda refinement and no need for the more specialized trim personalities higher in the lineup, this is where the conversation begins.

• Select highlight Mazda lists: 280-hp 3.3L Turbo Inline 6 engine and 3-row seating for up to 8
• Preferred highlight Mazda lists: Power sliding-glass moonroof with tilt feature
• Wheel upgrade Mazda lists: 21-inch alloy wheels with Silver Metallic finish on Preferred

Premium Sport and Premium Plus add more utility, visibility, and upscale finish

CX-90 3.3 Turbo Premium Sport is the trim that brings a more athletic look and a broader utility story to the standard output lineup. Mazda highlights 5,000-pound towing capacity, Mi-Drive with Sport, Off-Road, and Towing Modes, plus 21-inch alloy wheels with Black Metallic finish and Black exterior trim. That makes Premium Sport a strong fit for buyers who want their CX-90 to feel more visually assertive while also gaining more trailering capability and more selectable drive behavior.

Premium Plus takes that formula and leans further into premium equipment. Mazda says this trim adds Nappa leather-trimmed seats, Front Cross Traffic Alert and Brake, and a 360° View Monitor with See-through View and Trailer Hitch View. Those are the kinds of upgrades that make a difference in daily use, especially for drivers who want richer materials and more confidence when maneuvering in parking lots, tight driveways, and trailer situations. If you want a closer look at the design side of the vehicle, our Mazda CX-90 exterior guide explores the styling details that help separate these trims visually.

This middle part of the lineup is where many shoppers will likely narrow their decision. Premium Sport adds a darker visual character and stronger towing focus, while Premium Plus adds more luxury and visibility technology. If you know you want more than the entry trims but do not necessarily need the higher output Turbo S powertrain, these are the two models that deserve the closest look.

• Premium Sport utility Mazda lists: 5,000-pound towing capacity and Mi-Drive with Sport, Off-Road, and Towing Modes
• Premium Sport design Mazda lists: Black exterior trim and 21-inch Black Metallic finish wheels
• Premium Plus technology Mazda lists: 360° View Monitor with See-through View and Trailer Hitch View

Turbo S trims are for buyers who want the stronger CX-90 personality

The biggest performance shift in the lineup comes when you move into the Turbo S models. Mazda says the new CX-90 3.3 Turbo S Premium Sport offers up to 340 horsepower from its 3.3L Turbo Inline 6 engine when using the recommended premium fuel. Mazda also highlights 21-inch alloy wheels with Black Metallic finish and Mazda Driver Personalization System, giving this trim a distinct role as a more powerful and more sport themed option for shoppers who still want practical second-row bench seating.

CX-90 3.3 Turbo S Premium Plus sits at the top of the lineup and focuses on the richest interior treatment. Mazda highlights Nappa leather-trimmed seats with premium accents, second-row Captain’s chairs with center console, and ventilated front and second-row seats. That makes it the flagship trim for buyers who want the strongest gasoline CX-90 paired with the most upscale seating and passenger environment Mazda offers in the Inline 6 range.

These trims are not only about horsepower. They also reflect two different luxury priorities. Turbo S Premium Sport keeps a darker visual theme and stronger bench-seat practicality, while Turbo S Premium Plus is the trim for shoppers who want the fullest premium presentation. If advanced displays, connected features, and camera technology matter most to your decision, our Mazda CX-90 technology guide is worth reviewing next.

• Turbo S Premium Sport power Mazda lists: Up to 340 horsepower with recommended premium fuel
• Turbo S Premium Sport feature Mazda lists: Mazda Driver Personalization System
• Turbo S Premium Plus comfort Mazda lists: Ventilated front and second-row seats with second-row Captain’s chairs and center console

CX-90 trim shopping gets easier when you focus on how the SUV will feel every day

One of the most useful ways to shop the 2026 Mazda CX-90 is to think less about trim names and more about daily use. Some buyers will want the value and broad practicality of Select. Others will move toward Preferred for its upgraded comfort touches. Premium Sport is a stronger fit for those who want more towing confidence and a darker design direction, while Premium Plus brings more premium cabin materials and added visibility technology into the picture.

The Turbo S models then take the same idea in a more performance-minded direction. Mazda makes it clear that CX-90 can be configured around several different priorities, from passenger capacity and towing support to camera visibility, premium seating, and a more powerful Inline 6 experience. Even details like the available panoramic moonroof, flexible 3-row seating, expansive cargo space, and multiple power outlets help show why trim choice matters so much on this SUV.

Once you know whether you care most about power, passenger layout, luxury details, or towing utility, the lineup becomes easier to sort through. That is the advantage of using a trims page and a blog like this together. One helps you compare features at a glance, while the other helps connect those features to real shopping priorities.

• Seating flexibility Mazda highlights: Second-row bench or available dual captain’s chairs
• Cargo note Mazda highlights: Up to 14.9 cu ft of initial cargo space, expandable with folded rows
• Moonroof note Mazda highlights: Available panoramic moonroof on select models
