2026 Mazda CX-90 3.3 Turbo Premium Plus: Green Bro
Quick Answer: 2026 Mazda CX-90 3.3 Turbo Premium Plus
The Premium Plus tops the regular-fuel 3.3 Turbo line at $50,270 MSRP, adding Nappa leather-trimmed seats, Front Cross Traffic Alert and Brake, and the 360-degree View Monitor with See-Through View and Trailer Hitch View on top of everything the Premium Sport already has — including that trim's confirmed 5,000-pound towing capacity and Mi-Drive Towing mode. It's still the 280-hp regular-fuel tune of the 3.3-liter turbo inline-six, not the higher-output Turbo S; the jump to 340 hp and premium fuel starts at a separate, more expensive pair of trims. For a buyer who wants the nicest cabin and the most driver-assist tech without stepping into Turbo S territory, this is the ceiling of the standard-tune lineup.
The trailer-hitch camera view most trims don't get
The 360-degree View Monitor itself isn't new at this trim — the See-Through View feature that shows what's directly around the vehicle appears on the Premium Sport too. What's new on the Premium Plus is the Trailer Hitch View specifically, which puts a camera-assisted view of the hitch area on the center display — genuinely useful for anyone hooking up a trailer solo in a driveway rather than having a second person guide them back. Paired with the Front Cross Traffic Alert and Brake addition (catching cross-traffic pulling out of a driveway or a Route 22 side street before you do), the Premium Plus's driver-assist additions are the kind that matter in specific, real situations rather than being marketing checkboxes.
Nappa leather is a genuine step up in material quality over the leather on the Preferred and Premium Sport, and it's the last trim where that's true before the Turbo S versions repeat the same Nappa leather at a higher price point tied to the more powerful engine. Mechanically, the Premium Plus is identical to the Premium Sport: 280 hp, 332 lb-ft, standard AWD, 5,000-pound towing capacity, EPA-estimated 23 city / 28 highway / 25 combined on regular 87-octane fuel.
Premium Plus vs. jumping to Turbo S
The Turbo S Premium Sport starts at $54,140 — a $3,870 jump from this trim — and its real reason to exist is the retuned engine: up to 340 hp and 369 lb-ft versus this trim's 280 hp and 332 lb-ft, at the cost of needing premium 91-octane fuel to get there. If the extra power justifies the cost and the fuel bill to you, the Turbo S Premium Sport guide covers that trade in detail. If 280 hp already feels like plenty for Route 22 merges and highway passing, the Premium Plus is very likely the smarter buy — you get the same top-tier driver-assist and interior features without paying the engine-and-fuel premium.
Who actually buys the Premium Plus
Buyers who want the CX-90's most complete comfort-and-safety package without the Turbo S's fuel requirement, and anyone who's decided the 280-hp tune is genuinely enough power for how they actually drive. It's a common landing spot for buyers replacing a luxury-badge 3-row who want equivalent feature content at a lower price point.
Frequently asked questions
What does the 2026 CX-90 3.3 Turbo Premium Plus cost?
MSRP is $50,270, before Mazda's $1,530 destination charge, New Jersey's 6.625% sales tax, and registration fees. The pricing & leasing guide covers the full out-the-door math.
Is the Premium Plus the same engine as the Turbo S?
No — the Premium Plus runs the standard 280-hp, regular-fuel tune of the 3.3-liter turbo inline-six, the same as the Select, Preferred, and Premium Sport. The 340-hp Turbo S tune, which recommends premium fuel, is only available on the separate Turbo S Premium Sport and Turbo S Premium Plus trims.
What does the Trailer Hitch View actually show?
A camera-assisted view of the area directly around the vehicle's trailer hitch, displayed on the center screen — it's part of the 360-degree View Monitor package and is specifically useful for lining up a trailer hitch without a second person spotting.
Does the Premium Plus have Nappa leather?
Yes — Nappa leather-trimmed seats are standard, a step up from the leather on the Preferred and Premium Sport trims. The two Turbo S trims also use Nappa leather, with the Turbo S Premium Plus adding premium accents on top.

The bottom line
The Premium Plus is the top of the regular-fuel CX-90 lineup for a reason — Nappa leather, the most complete driver-assist package short of Turbo S, and a trailer-hitch camera that solo trailer owners will genuinely use, all without the premium-fuel requirement that comes with more power.
