The CX-90 is the SUV for those who crave driving pleasure wrapped in a premium package.
Premium interior craftsmanship · Engaging driving experience
Third row is kids-only territory · Infotainment requires patience
The 2026 Mazda CX-90 stands out with its refined interior and engaging driving dynamics that echo luxury without the exorbitant price tag. What really caught us off guard was how well it handles on a winding canyon road, making us forget we were in a three-row SUV. However, if you're planning to use that third row for adults on a regular basis, prepare for some grumbling—or at least some creative leg room negotiations. This SUV is perfect for small families who value a sophisticated driving experience and don't mind a bit of a learning curve with the infotainment system.
Our pick: 3.3 Turbo Premium Sport ($47,150)
vs. 2026 Volkswagen Atlas: While the Atlas offers more spacious third-row seating, the CX-90 outshines it with superior driving dynamics and a more upscale interior.
