2026 Mazda CX-90 FAQ
Does the 12.3" screen work as a touchscreen?
Yes. For 2026, trims with the 12.3" display include touchscreen capability in addition to the familiar Mazda Commander knob.¹
Is premium fuel required for the Turbo S?
Not required. Turbo S delivers up to 340 hp on premium 91-octane; it can run 87-octane with output around 319 hp.¹
How does AWD help in our weather?
i-Activ AWD is designed to anticipate low-traction situations (wet leaves on DE-9, slush near Tybouts Corner) and shift torque proactively for stability.⁶ ⁷
Which should I pick—7 or 8 seats?
Choose 8-passenger if you need max capacity; opt for captain’s chairs (7-passenger) to make third-row access easier for kids and teens. Multiple 2026 trims offer both layouts.¹
Any car-seat tips for the second-row center?
The center LATCH anchors are wider (500 mm/19.7 in) than standard, so rigid-LATCH bases aren’t compatible there. Use a LATCH-with-webbing model approved for 500 mm spacing or install with the seat belt; always use the top tether when applicable.⁸
What should I expect for real-world MPG?
Mazda lists 23/28/25 mpg (city/hwy/combined) for both Inline-6 engines.¹ Your results will vary with passengers, cargo, weather, and route.
