- New Signature trim for the CX-90 Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV) highlights Mazda's highest craftsmanship and safety offerings
- Winter-friendly features expanded across multiple trims, including heated steering wheel, wiper de-icer, and heated 2nd-row seats
- 2026 CX-90 has a starting MSRP1 of $47,100
RICHMOND HILL, ON, Dec. 11, 2025 /CNW/ - Mazda Canada Inc. today announces pricing for the 2026 CX-90 lineup, designed with families in mind with seating for up to eight, along with the signature driving dynamics that Mazda is known for. For 2026, the CX-90 receives improved in-vehicle technology with the addition of standard Alexa voice commands and packaging changes offering Canadians a more refined, technologically capable, and winter-ready three-row crossover.
Like the CX-70, the CX-90 is built upon Mazda's electrified Large Platform. This is part of what gives CX-90 its dynamic prowess, thanks to engineering decisions like a double wishbone front suspension, multilink rear suspension and standard i-Activ AWD. This hardware is seamlessly blended with advanced software, like Mazda Kinematic Posture Control (KPC) technology. Tuned for driving precision, KPC suppresses body lift on tight corners to offer a more intuitive handling characteristic and help all occupants to maintain a more natural posture. All of this works together seamlessly to offer surefooted and confidence-inspiring driving.
