2026 Mazda CX-90 3.3 Turbo S Premium Sport: Green
Quick Answer: 2026 Mazda CX-90 3.3 Turbo S Premium Sport
The Turbo S Premium Sport starts at $54,140 MSRP and is the entry point into Mazda's retuned, higher-output version of the CX-90's 3.3-liter turbo inline-six — up to 340 hp and 369 lb-ft, versus the 280 hp and 332 lb-ft on every 3.3 Turbo trim below it. Reaching that full rating means running recommended premium 91-octane fuel rather than the regular 87 the standard Turbo tune uses. Equipment-wise, it sits close to the 3.3 Turbo Premium Sport — 21-inch black-finish alloy wheels and towing capability carry over — while adding the Mazda Driver Personalization System, which saves seat, mirror, and climate settings per driver profile. The 2nd-row bench and 8-passenger seating carry over from the rest of the lineup; only the Turbo S Premium Plus above this trim swaps in captain's chairs.
The same block, a genuinely different tune
It's worth being precise about what "Turbo S" means on the 2026 CX-90, because it's easy to assume it works like some other manufacturers' turbo engines, where output simply scales up on better fuel. It doesn't work that way here: the 3.3 Turbo and 3.3 Turbo S are two fixed, distinct calibrations of the same e-Skyactiv-G 3.3-liter turbocharged inline-six block. The standard Turbo tune is rated 280 hp / 332 lb-ft on regular 87-octane and stays there regardless of what fuel you put in. The Turbo S tune is rated up to 340 hp / 369 lb-ft specifically when using Mazda's recommended premium 91-octane fuel — run it on regular and you'll get a real number, but not the rated 340. Curb weight also climbs to about 4,945 pounds on Turbo S models, roughly 100 pounds over the standard Turbo's 4,846, from the retuned engine hardware. EPA estimates hold steady at 23 city / 28 highway / 25 combined for both tunes.
Mazda's own product copy describes the reasoning plainly: the Turbo S Premium Sport "offers up to 340-hp... when using the recommended premium fuel. That means you won't have to sacrifice the powerful driving dynamics you want for the spacious, 2nd-row bench seating your family needs" — in other words, Mazda built this specifically so buyers who want both genuine power and an 8-passenger bench don't have to choose. That bench-plus-power combination is exactly what separates this trim from the Turbo S Premium Plus above it, which trades the bench for captain's chairs.
What separates it from the regular Premium Sport
Beyond the engine, the two Premium Sport trims are closer than their price gap ($6,660) might suggest. Both get 21-inch black-finish wheels and the confirmed towing capability with Mi-Drive's Sport/Off-Road/Towing modes. What the Turbo S version adds specifically is the Mazda Driver Personalization System — useful in a household where more than one person regularly drives the CX-90 and wants their seat and mirror positions to come back automatically. For a buyer torn between the two, the real question isn't equipment; it's whether the 60-horsepower jump and the premium-fuel commitment are worth the price.
Who actually buys the Turbo S Premium Sport
Drivers who want the CX-90's most engaging highway performance — passing on I-287, merging onto Route 22 with authority — without giving up the practicality of 8-passenger seating, and who are comfortable budgeting for premium fuel to get the full rating out of the engine they're paying extra for.
Frequently asked questions
What does the 2026 CX-90 3.3 Turbo S Premium Sport cost?
MSRP is $54,140, 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.
Do I have to use premium fuel in the Turbo S Premium Sport?
Mazda recommends premium 91-octane fuel to reach the rated 340 hp / 369 lb-ft. The engine will run on regular fuel, but won't produce its full rated output on it — budget for premium if the extra performance is the reason you're choosing this trim over the standard Turbo tune.
Does the Turbo S Premium Sport still seat 8?
Yes — it keeps the standard 2nd-row bench and 8-passenger, 3-row layout. Only the Turbo S Premium Plus, one trim above this one, swaps in 2nd-row captain's chairs and drops to 7-passenger seating.
How much more power does the Turbo S get over the regular Turbo?
Up to 60 additional horsepower (340 vs. 280) and 37 additional lb-ft of torque (369 vs. 332), on the recommended premium fuel. Both figures are fixed ratings for each tune, not a range that shifts continuously with fuel quality.

The bottom line
The Turbo S Premium Sport is the trim for a buyer who's decided the extra 60 horsepower is worth a premium-fuel commitment, but isn't ready to give up the 2nd-row bench and 8-passenger seating for captain's chairs. It's the sweet spot between the standard Turbo lineup and the range-topping Turbo S Premium Plus.
MSRP figures exclude Mazda's $1,530 destination charge plus taxes, title, registration, and dealer-installed options; the dealer sets the actual selling price. The 340-hp/369-lb-ft rating requires recommended premium 91-octane fuel per Mazda's published specifications; using regular fuel will reduce output below the rated figure. Fuel-economy figures are EPA estimates; actual mileage varies with driving conditions. Equipment and availability can shift with configuration and production timing.
