While it is not Mazda\u2019s top-selling product, the CX-90 has been gaining traction. During the first half of 2025, Mazda moved 28,060 units, marking a 23.8 percent increase compared to the same period the year before.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><br \/>\n<!-- --><br \/>\n<!-- --><br \/>\n<!-- --><\/p>\n<p data-wp-block=\"{&quot;dropCap&quot;:false}\" data-wp-block-name=\"core\/paragraph\">For 2026, the CX-90 returns with a modest list of updates, but also higher prices. Depending on trim, increases range from $380 to $1,805. The entry-level 3.3 Turbo Select now starts at $38,800, while the range-topping PHEV Premium Plus comes in at $58,500. These price hikes raise the question of whether buyers should consider a remaining 2025 model instead, especially when dealer discounts are taken into account.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><\/p>\n<p><!-- --><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2025-inventory-pricing-shows-substantial-discounts\">2025 Inventory Pricing Shows Substantial Discounts<\/h3>\n<p data-wp-block=\"{&quot;dropCap&quot;:false}\" data-wp-block-name=\"core\/paragraph\">Inventory listings on <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cars.com\/shopping\/results\/?include_shippable=true&amp;makes%5B%5D=mazda&amp;maximum_distance=all&amp;models%5B%5D=mazda-cx_90&amp;page_size=20&amp;sort=list_price&amp;stock_type=new&amp;year_max=2025&amp;year_min=2025&amp;zip=33101\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer\">Cars.com<\/a><\/em> show that unsold 2025 CX-90 models are still available, often with meaningful discounts. The 3.3 Turbo Select, for instance, can be found for as little as $35,354, the 2026 version by more than $3,000.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><\/p>\n<p data-wp-block=\"{&quot;dropCap&quot;:false}\" data-wp-block-name=\"core\/paragraph\">Moving up the ladder, the 3.3 Turbo Preferred Plus is especially striking, with examples listed from $37,360 and average discounts hovering around $4,000. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/features\/2025-mazda-cx-90-swaps-trims-new-premium-sport-grade-adds-dark-accents\">3.3 Turbo Premium Sport <\/a>is commonly priced from $43,695, while the 3.3 Turbo Premium Plus begins around $47,555, often running $3,000 less than the 2026 equivalent.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><\/p>\n<section class=\"styles_cardWrapper__L_XoW wp-block-the-arena-group-article-card-5050\"\/>\n<!-- --><\/p>\n<p data-wp-block=\"{&quot;dropCap&quot;:false}\" data-wp-block-name=\"core\/paragraph\">Higher trims also show the same pattern. The 3.3 Turbo S Premium is available from $48,481, while the 3.3 Turbo S Premium Plus starts around $53,494 with discounts reaching up to $4,000. Even variants like the Preferred, Premium Plus, and Premium Sport offer similar markdowns of $2,000 to $3,000, with examples starting in the mid-$40,000s and topping out in the high $50,000s, depending on the equipment.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><\/p>\n<p data-wp-block=\"{&quot;dropCap&quot;:false}\" data-wp-block-name=\"core\/paragraph\">These gaps suggest that for many trims, buyers can save several thousand dollars by opting for a 2025 model, even before accounting for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/carbuying\/2025-mazda-cx-90-lease-offer-june\">dealer incentives<\/a> or financing offers.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-s-new-for-2026-and-which-should-you-buy\">What\u2019s New for 2026 and Which Should You Buy<\/h3>\n<p data-wp-block=\"{&quot;dropCap&quot;:false}\" data-wp-block-name=\"core\/paragraph\">The 2026 CX-90 does add some value in exchange for the higher pricing. All trims now come with Alexa voice command integration, while packaging changes add features that were previously optional. A new premium paint option, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/features\/mazda-carbon-edition-mazda6-cx5-cx9\">Polymetal Gray Metallic<\/a>, also joins the color lineup. Higher trims offer improvements, including upgraded seating materials, enhanced safety features, and improved lighting.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><br \/>\n<!-- --><br \/>\n<!-- --><\/p>\n<p data-wp-block=\"{&quot;dropCap&quot;:false}\" data-wp-block-name=\"core\/paragraph\">For buyers who want the latest tech and cabin amenities, the 2026 CX-90 holds appeal. However, given the availability of heavily discounted 2025 models \u2013\u00a0especially on trims like the Turbo Preferred Plus and Turbo Premium Plus \u2013\u00a0the outgoing model year offers clear financial advantages without sacrificing much in terms of features.<\/p>\n<div class=\"styles_contributorBio__vbMqA\" readability=\"12.704545454545\">\n<div class=\"styles_contributorBioWrapper__PCRrp\" readability=\"20.522727272727\">\n<p class=\"styles_contributorBioEyebrow__vBEr_\">About the Author<\/p>\n<div class=\"styles_contributorBioTop__rVQN5\">\n<div class=\"styles_contributorBioOverview__UKfdP\">\n<div class=\"styles_avatar__M_SvZ styles_contributorBioAvatar___AUl4 styles_medium__VUJo5\"><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"styles_avatarImage__7mnVX\" sizes=\"100px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_16,q_auto:good,c_fill,ar_1:1\/NzowMDAwMDAwMDAwOTAyMDgz\/img6463.jpg 16w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_32,q_auto:good,c_fill,ar_1:1\/NzowMDAwMDAwMDAwOTAyMDgz\/img6463.jpg 32w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_48,q_auto:good,c_fill,ar_1:1\/NzowMDAwMDAwMDAwOTAyMDgz\/img6463.jpg 48w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_64,q_auto:good,c_fill,ar_1:1\/NzowMDAwMDAwMDAwOTAyMDgz\/img6463.jpg 64w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_96,q_auto:good,c_fill,ar_1:1\/NzowMDAwMDAwMDAwOTAyMDgz\/img6463.jpg 96w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_128,q_auto:good,c_fill,ar_1:1\/NzowMDAwMDAwMDAwOTAyMDgz\/img6463.jpg 128w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_256,q_auto:good,c_fill,ar_1:1\/NzowMDAwMDAwMDAwOTAyMDgz\/img6463.jpg 256w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_384,q_auto:good,c_fill,ar_1:1\/NzowMDAwMDAwMDAwOTAyMDgz\/img6463.jpg 384w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_640,q_auto:good,c_fill,ar_1:1\/NzowMDAwMDAwMDAwOTAyMDgz\/img6463.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_750,q_auto:good,c_fill,ar_1:1\/NzowMDAwMDAwMDAwOTAyMDgz\/img6463.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_828,q_auto:good,c_fill,ar_1:1\/NzowMDAwMDAwMDAwOTAyMDgz\/img6463.jpg 828w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_1080,q_auto:good,c_fill,ar_1:1\/NzowMDAwMDAwMDAwOTAyMDgz\/img6463.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_1200,q_auto:good,c_fill,ar_1:1\/NzowMDAwMDAwMDAwOTAyMDgz\/img6463.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_1920,q_auto:good,c_fill,ar_1:1\/NzowMDAwMDAwMDAwOTAyMDgz\/img6463.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_2048,q_auto:good,c_fill,ar_1:1\/NzowMDAwMDAwMDAwOTAyMDgz\/img6463.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_3840,q_auto:good,c_fill,ar_1:1\/NzowMDAwMDAwMDAwOTAyMDgz\/img6463.jpg 3840w\" src=\"https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/.image\/w_3840,q_auto:good,c_fill,ar_1:1\/NzowMDAwMDAwMDAwOTAyMDgz\/img6463.jpg\"\/><\/div>\n<div class=\"styles_contributorBioTitleRole__Yr4La\">\n<h2 class=\"styles_contributorBioName__kT2po\">Jacob Oliva<\/h2>\n<p class=\"styles_contributorBioRole__GMTa6\">Senior Editor<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Jacob Oliva has been an automotive journalist for more than a decade.
