The 2026 Mazda CX-90 arrives with small changes. This includes the addition of Polymetal Gray Metallic as a newly available exterior color. Meanwhile, the Premium Sport trim is now available on the Turbo S models. This variant adds blackout details like a gloss black honeycomb front grille and black chrome signature wing. That’s not all. Premium Sport models also include black metallic 21-inch alloy wheels, black chrome fender badges, black bumpers, and door garnishes, as well as black side mirrors. Every model comes standard with the full i-ActivSense driver assistance suite.
Higher trims of the 2026 Mazda CX-90 feature plenty of upscale features like heated and ventilated front seats, heated and ventilated second-row captain’s chairs, and a heated steering wheel. Some also include a head-up display, a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, and Nappa leather seats. However, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto only come on the larger 12.3-inch touchscreen. The smaller 10.25-inch display only has wired smartphone integration. Additional driver assistance features, such as a surround view camera, are only available on the range-topping Premium Plus model.
