Bob Penkhus Mazda South - Seating and Cargo Flexibility on the 2026 Mazda CX-90 for Canon City, CO Family Adventures
Planning weekend getaways around Royal Gorge Bridge, youth sports carpools, or a grocery run that somehow always turns into a warehouse haul calls for an SUV that adapts without fuss. The 2026 Mazda CX-90 brings a refined, three-row design that makes Canon City, CO family life feel easier the moment you open the doors. Choose seating for seven with second-row captain’s chairs or an eight-passenger layout with a bench for maximum capacity. With quick seatback releases and a low load floor, the CX-90 smoothly shifts from people mover to cargo carrier for strollers, coolers, bikes, or home improvement projects.
Inside, premium materials and calm ergonomics set the tone, but it is the thoughtful practicality that wins busy days. Available USB-C ports in the second and third rows, plus a front accessory outlet, keep everyone powered. And when the weekend heads into the mountains, standard i-Activ AWD® supports confident traction, while the available 360° View Monitor with See-through View and Trailer Hitch View makes trailhead parking and trailer hookups a breeze. One test drive is usually all it takes to see how these details come together in real life. Bob Penkhus Mazda South is proud to help families pinpoint the right configuration for comfort, gear, and growth.

Families often wonder how seating truly works when schedules get complicated. In the CX-90, the second row can be set up to prioritize either a clear aisle to the third row or a full-width bench for maximum seating. The third-row bench features a 60/40 split, so you can carry a longer item on one side and still keep a passenger seat available on the other. When both the second and third-row seatbacks fold, the continuous load floor creates an easy path for bulky items, from camping totes to flat-pack furniture. It is exactly the kind of functional design that proves its worth on the second Saturday morning with sports gear in the back.
Need to thread into a downtown space or line up a hitch for a family camper? The available 360° View Monitor’s See-through View can display areas around the nose and front tires that are typically hidden, and Trailer Hitch View adds helpful alignment guidance on the center screen. That means less second-guessing curbs and more confidence when the campsite is waiting. With Mazda Connected Services and the MyMazda app in the toolkit, you can also lock, unlock, or start the engine remotely, making early departures or after-practice pickups feel more seamless. It is a thoughtful approach that helps busy households find a calmer rhythm.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can the CX-90 fit both child seats and cargo at the same time?
Yes. With the flexible second-row and third-row split-folding seatbacks, you can secure child seats and still open space for a stroller, sports bags, or a week’s worth of groceries.
Which setup is better for growing families: captain’s chairs or the bench?
Captain’s chairs ease third-row access and personalize comfort, while the bench maximizes seating for eight. Many families choose captain’s chairs for everyday use, then fold the third row when cargo needs expand.
How does the 360° View Monitor help when towing?
Trailer Hitch View provides on-screen guidance to help center the hitch and ball, reducing guesswork during alignment. See-through View also aids in low-speed maneuvering around tight obstacles near the front end.
Are there charge points for all rows?
On select models, USB-C ports are available in the second and third rows, and the front row includes a 12-volt accessory outlet, so devices stay charged throughout longer drives.
