When it comes to flexible three-row SUVs, the competition is fierce. There are many standout SUVs, including the 2026 Mazda CX-90 and Mitsubishi Outlander. Heritage Mazda Towson is sharing all the reasons to make the Mazda SUV your top pick.
Premium Power
With its e-Skyactiv®-G 3.3-liter turbo inline-six engine, the 2026 Mazda CX-90 generates up to 280 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque. The available high-output option increases power to an exhilarating 340 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. The Mitsubishi Outlander falls short with just 181 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque. The Mazda SUV also has i-Activ AWD® standard, while AWD costs extra in the Mitsubishi model.
Towing Capacity
When properly equipped, standard-output 2026 Mazda CX-90 SUVs can tow up to 3,500 pounds. The high-output engine increases its towing power to a notable 5,000 pounds. The Mitsubishi Outlander, on the other hand, can only tow up to 2,000 pounds.
