2026 Mazda CX-90 3.3 Turbo S Premium Plus: Stamford Buyers Guide
Quick Answer: 2026 CX-90 3.3 Turbo S Premium Plus
The Turbo S Premium Plus, $57,570 MSRP, is the CX-90 flagship: Nappa leather-trimmed seats with premium accents, ventilated front and 2nd-row seats, and the only standard 2nd-row captain's-chair configuration in the lineup — dropping seating to seven in exchange for two individual, more comfortable middle-row seats instead of the bench every other trim carries. It shares the Turbo S's retuned 340-hp / 369-lb-ft engine, rated on premium 91-octane fuel, and the same up-to-5,000-lb towing capacity as every trim from Premium Sport up. EPA estimates: 23 city / 28 highway / 25 combined.
The only captain's chairs in the lineup
Every other 2026 CX-90 trim — Select through Turbo S Premium Sport — carries a 60/40-split 2nd-row bench and seats up to eight. Turbo S Premium Plus is the sole exception: it swaps that bench for two individual captain's chairs with a center console, dropping total capacity to seven but giving 2nd-row passengers their own dedicated seats, armrests, and (on this trim) ventilation to match the ventilated front seats. Families who regularly carry two 2nd-row passengers rather than three should weigh this trade-off carefully — it's a genuine comfort upgrade for those two seats, at the cost of the occasional third body squeezing in for a short trip.
Nappa leather with premium accents rounds out the cabin, making this the plushest interior in the CX-90 range, and it carries the same 340-hp Turbo S engine tune as the Premium Sport version below it — the Premium Plus badge here is about cabin and seating, not additional power.
The flagship, and the reviews that come with it
Travis B., after a recent purchase: "We worked with Eric at Riley Mazda to purchase a new CX-90. Eric was really easy to work with and professional from start to finish. He went out of his way to assist me with a difficult DMV situation to make sure the buying process went smoothly. I will go back to Riley Mazda for my next car purchase." That kind of going-the-extra-mile problem-solving is consistent with how the store's leadership frames the whole operation. Lida Mora, a longtime customer: "Riley Mazda in Stamford consistently provides exceptional and efficient service. That's why they remain my and my family's preferred dealer for nearly 10 years. Congrats to Curtis and the team on the new renovation!" Curtis Riley is the General Manager on the Riley Mazda team page and part of the third generation of Riley family ownership.
Frequently asked questions
Why does Turbo S Premium Plus seat fewer people than other CX-90 trims?
It's the only trim with standard 2nd-row captain's chairs instead of a bench — two individual seats instead of three-across seating, which drops maximum capacity from eight to seven.
What does Premium Plus add over the Turbo S Premium Sport?
Nappa leather with premium accents, ventilated front and 2nd-row seats, and the captain's-chair 2nd row — for $3,430 over Turbo S Premium Sport's $54,140. The engine tune is identical.
Does the flagship trim tow more than the others?
No. Towing tops out at up to 5,000 lbs when properly equipped, the same figure shared by every trim from Premium Sport through Turbo S Premium Plus.
Is this the same trim as the CX-90 PHEV's top trim?
No — the CX-90 Plug-In Hybrid is a separate model with its own PHEV Premium and PHEV Premium Plus trims, starting at $50,695 and running a different powertrain entirely. Turbo S Premium Plus is the gas-line flagship covered in this guide.
Where can I see one in Stamford?
Current Turbo S Premium Plus inventory is at Riley Mazda, 75 Myrtle Ave.
The bottom line
Turbo S Premium Plus is the CX-90 for buyers who've decided seven genuinely comfortable seats beat eight cramped ones, and who want the retuned 340-hp engine and the plushest cabin Mazda builds for this platform. It's a real flagship, not just the most expensive line on a price sheet.
