2026 Mazda CX-90 3.3 Turbo Select
MSRP $40,830 including destination and delivery, and the least expensive way into a CX-90. Three rows, seating for up to eight, i-ACTIV AWD® and the 280-hp turbocharged inline-six are all standard on this trim. What changes further up the ladder is the tow rating and, on the two Turbo S trims, the engine tune.
What the Turbo Select Carries as Standard
This is the bottom rung, so the useful question is what you already have. Three rows, all-wheel drive and a turbocharged inline-six are not upgrades on this ladder — they are where it starts. Two things genuinely change above this trim, and both are named below.
A 280-hp Turbocharged Inline-Six
The 3.3 Turbo makes 280 hp and 332 lb-ft on regular fuel, from this trim up. There is no V6 and no four-cylinder in this lineup; the only engine step is the Turbo S tune on the two S trims at the top.
Three Rows, Up to Eight
Three rows with the second-row bench standard, seating up to eight. The eight-seat configuration is available at the bottom of the ladder as well as the top — captain’s chairs are what reduce it to seven, not the trim.
i-ACTIV AWD®, Standard
All-wheel drive is standard from this trim through the flagship. There is no front-wheel-drive CX-90 and no all-wheel-drive upcharge to add anywhere on the ladder.
3,500 Lb, and Where That Changes
This trim tows 3,500 lb. Mi-Drive Towing Mode is standard from the 3.3 Turbo Premium Sport upward and takes the rating to 5,000 lb — the one step on this ladder that matters more than any styling difference if you tow.
Where This Trim Sits
Six trims, one body, one drivetrain. This is the bottom rung, so the trims compared here are the two directly above it, which are the ones a 3.3 Turbo Select shopper is usually still weighing — the full ladder, the colour palette and the rest of the specifications are on the CX-90 model page.
3.3 Turbo Select
3.3 Turbo Preferred
3.3 Turbo Premium Sport
Choose the 3.3 Turbo Select If…
You want three rows and all-wheel drive, you tow either nothing or under 3,500 lb, and the 280-hp inline-six is plenty. Everything above this trim is equipment, a higher tow rating or a stronger engine tune.
Choose a Trim Above It If…
You tow more than 3,500 lb, or you want the 340-hp Turbo S tune. The tow rating goes to 5,000 lb from the 3.3 Turbo Premium Sport up, and the Turbo S engine arrives on the two S trims at the top of the ladder.
Other CX-90 Trims in Detail
MSRP includes destination and delivery. Excludes tax, title, license, a $895 dealer documentary service fee and a $16.50 tag fee.
What Every Trim Already Carries
Worth stating plainly, because it is half of the decision: the items below are the same on this trim and on the five above it. The tow rating and the engine tune are what genuinely move up this ladder — nothing here does.
i-ACTIV AWD® on Every Trim
- i-ACTIV AWD® standard from the 3.3 Turbo Select through the flagship
- No front-wheel-drive CX-90 exists and there is no all-wheel-drive upcharge to add
- A turbocharged inline-six on every trim — no V6 and no four-cylinder in this lineup
Three Rows
- Three rows, up to eight passengers with the standard second-row bench
- Optional second-row captain’s chairs reduce that to seven
- Three rows on every trim in the lineup
25 MPG Combined
- 23 mpg city / 28 mpg highway / 25 mpg combined
- The same EPA figure on the 3.3 Turbo and the 3.3 Turbo S
- 3-yr/36,000-mile basic and 5-yr/60,000-mile powertrain warranty
The 3.3 Turbo Select at Dean McCrary Mazda
The 3.3 Turbo Select is the bottom of the six-trim CX-90 ladder at MSRP $40,830, including destination and delivery. The next trim up, the 3.3 Turbo Preferred, is MSRP $44,980. This trim already carries three rows, seating for up to eight, i-ACTIV AWD® and the 280-hp turbocharged inline-six. Dean McCrary Mazda stocks the CX-90 lineup on the I-65 Service Road in Mobile.
Is the Entry Trim Enough?
For most three-row shoppers, yes — with one exception worth being precise about. The 3.3 Turbo Select has the same turbocharged inline-six, the same standard i-ACTIV AWD®, the same three rows, the same up-to-eight seating and the same 25 mpg combined as the trims above it. The exception is towing: this trim is rated at 3,500 lb, and Mi-Drive Towing Mode becomes standard from the 3.3 Turbo Premium Sport upward, which is what takes the rating to 5,000 lb. The other genuine step is the 340-hp 3.3 Turbo S tune on the two S trims at the top. Everything else between here and the flagship is comfort and materials.
