The 2026 Mazda SUV Lineup: Start with What You Need

The 2026 Mazda3 Hatchback paves its own road. For drivers around Vancouver, WA, the Mazda3 Hatchback capacity provides a useful alternative to moving up to a crossover purely for additional luggage room. It seats 5, offers 20.1 cu. ft. of cargo volume behind the rear seats, and remains less than 15 feet long. If you're browsing our new Mazda inventory, it's worth looking beyond the Mazda3 's compact footprint. Start With the Numbers The 2026 Mazda3 Hatchback measures 175.6 inches long, 70.7 inches wide, and 56.7 inches tall, with a 107.3-inch wheelbase. Those dimensions make it easy to position in parking spaces and maneuver through busy streets without creating an overly cramped cabin. Front passengers have 42.3 inches of legroom and 37.6 inches of headroom. In the back, there are 35.1 inches of legroom and 37.2 inches of headroom. Total passenger volume is 92.8 cu. ft., with seating for 5. It's a sensible use of a relatively small exterior. For Vancouver drivers who spend most of their week commuting but still need room for friends or family, the Mazda3 doesn't require you to drive a larger vehicle every day simply to have usable rear seating. The Hatchback Earns Its Keep When You Open the Rear Cargo space is where the body style begins to make a strong argument for itself. The Mazda3 Hatchback provides 20.1 cu. ft. of cargo volume behind the rear seats. That's useful space for grocery runs, carry-on luggage, backpacks, sports equipment, and the other items that accumulate during a normal week. The liftgate also creates a larger opening than a conventional sedan trunk, which can make awkwardly shaped items easier to load. When 20.1 cu. ft. isn't enough, a 60/40 split fold-down rear seatback lets you extend the cargo area into the passenger compartment. Fold one section and you can carry longer items while retaining a rear seat. Fold more when cargo takes priority. Shoppers deciding between body styles can compare our Mazda3 Hatchback inventory with available Mazda3 Sedan models to see which layout works better for you. Small Dimensions Are Useful in the Real World At 175.6 inches long, the Mazda3 Hatchback occupies considerably less road and parking space than many crossovers. That can be useful when navigating downtown areas, squeezing into a garage, or simply trying to find a convenient parking spot. Yet you still have the wide- opening liftgate and folding rear seats when the weekend requires more equipment than the daily commute. Depending on trim, buyers can choose FWD or available i -ACTIV AWD®. For drivers dealing with Vancouver's rain and changing Pacific Northwest road conditions, available AWD adds another useful option without requiring the move to an SUV. There Is Plenty of Performance to Go with the Practicality Most 2026 Mazda3 Hatchback models use a 2.5L SKYACTIV®-G 4-cylinder engine producing up to 186 hp and 186 lbs. ft. of torque. Turbo models bring considerably more performance from a 2.5L Dynamic Pressure Turbo engine. With 93-octane premium fuel, output reaches up to 250 hp and 320 lbs. ft. of torque. That gives Mazda3 shoppers a fairly unusual choice in this segment: prioritize straightforward everyday performance or choose the turbocharged powertrain for considerably more punch. Explore our available Mazda3 models to compare engines, drivetrains, and trim features before deciding which combination suits your driving. Safety and Technology Haven't Been Overlooked The 2026 Mazda3 Hatchback earned a 2026 IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+, an important distinction for a vehicle likely to spend its life handling commuting, errands, and family transportation. Mazda's i-Activsense ® driver-assistance technologies include Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keep Assist, and Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go, with equipment varying by trim. Available technology includes a 10.25-inch center display, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration, wireless phone charging, and a 12-speaker Bose® premium audio system on select models. Bring Your Everyday Gear and Try It at Alan Webb Mazda Cargo figures are useful, but the easiest way to judge Mazda3 Hatchback capacity is to open the liftgate and see the space yourself. With 20.1 cu. ft. behind the rear seats, a 60/40 split-folding seatback, seating for 5, and an exterior length of only 175.6 inches, the Mazda3 Hatchback packs useful versatility into a genuinely compact footprint.

Fuel economy used to involve a fairly predictable compromise: choose the sensible car and accept that it might not be the one you particularly wanted to drive. The 2026 Mazda lineup makes that decision rather more interesting. Finding the best Mazda MPG for your driving habits in Vancouver starts with deciding how you want to get there. For some, plugging in makes perfect sense. For others, a hybrid or efficient gasoline model remains the simpler answer. The Plug-In Hybrids Lead the Numbers At the efficiency end of Mazda's 2026 range are the CX-70 Plug-in Hybrid and CX-90 Plug-in Hybrid. The 2026 Mazda CX-70 PHEV delivers an EPA-estimated 61 MPGe combined, while the CX-90 PHEV achieves an EPA-estimated 56 MPGe combined. Both allow drivers to make greater use of electric power for everyday journeys while retaining a gasoline engine for longer drives. That flexibility can be particularly useful for owners whose weekday mileage looks very different from their weekend travel. Drivers interested in electrification can browse our new Mazda inventory and compare the CX-70 PHEV and CX-90 PHEV to see how their passenger space, size, and features differ. The CX-50 Hybrid Makes a Strong Case for Simplicity Not everyone wants to plug in, which is where the 2026 Mazda CX-50 Hybrid becomes particularly appealing. It returns an EPA-estimated 38 mpg combined while retaining the practicality and useful proportions of a crossover. For drivers traveling around Vancouver and Southwest Washington, it offers an appealing middle ground. You get hybrid efficiency without having to think about charging stops or installing home charging equipment. Shoppers comparing Mazda SUVs can also explore our Mazda CX-50 inventory alongside the CX-50 Hybrid to decide which powertrain makes the most sense for their daily mileage. The Mazda3 Proves Gasoline Still Has a Place Conventional gasoline power remains entirely relevant, particularly for buyers who value simplicity. The 2026 Mazda3 Sedan achieves an EPA-estimated 30 mpg combined, making it the most efficient gasoline model in this group. The Mazda3 Hatchback follows closely at an EPA-estimated 29 mpg combined. Both provide a smaller alternative to Mazda's crossovers and make considerable sense for commuting, highway travel, and drivers who don't require SUV cargo capacity. Move into Mazda's gasoline crossover range and the numbers remain competitive. The 2026 Mazda CX-30 returns an EPA-estimated 27 mpg combined, while the CX-5 and CX-50 each achieve an EPA-estimated 26 mpg combined. That leaves buyers with a useful choice: prioritize maximum economy with the Mazda3 or gain the additional versatility of a Mazda crossover while retaining respectable fuel efficiency. Efficiency Is Only One Part of the Decision Good fuel economy is useful, but it shouldn't be the sole reason for choosing a vehicle. Safety gives the 2026 Mazda lineup another compelling argument. Mazda has been named the Safest New-Car Brand by Consumer Reports, and as of July 2026, more 2026 Mazda models had earned IIHS Top Safety Pick+ awards than any other brand. Recognized models include the CX-30, CX-5, CX-50, CX-50 Hybrid, CX-70, CX-70 Plug-in Hybrid, CX-90, CX-90 Plug-in Hybrid, Mazda3 Hatchback, and Mazda3 Sedan. For families comparing new Mazda SUVs or commuters considering a Mazda3, that breadth of safety recognition is significant alongside the fuel-economy figures.

Three-row SUVs tend to follow a predictable formula: maximize room, soften everything, add cupholders, repeat. The 2026 Mazda CX-90 paves its own way. It still seats up to 8 passengers and offers substantial cargo capacity, but Mazda has also given it standard AWD, an available 340 hp Inline-6, a plug-in hybrid option, and chassis technology aimed at making the drive itself worth thinking about. For families around Vancouver, Washington, the CX-90 is worth checking out. Big Enough for 8, Without Feeling Like a Box Mazda's KODO: "Soul of Motion" design philosophy gives the CX-90 proportions that look more composed than bulky. Available Piano Black accents and dark chrome badging can push the exterior in a sportier direction. Inside, configuration is important. The CX-90 can seat up to 8 passengers, with a second-row bench or available captain's chairs depending on trim. Cargo capacity begins at 14.9 cu. ft. behind the third row and expands to as much as 74.2 cu. ft. with the second and third rows folded. With the available 2-person second-row captain's chairs, maximum cargo capacity reaches 75.2 cu. ft. Available Nappa leather-trimmed seating, a panoramic moonroof, Bose® audio, and a hands-free rear power liftgate add comfort without changing the fundamental usefulness of the cabin. An Inline-6 Still Has Something to Say The standard powertrain is an e-SKYACTIV®-G 3.3L Turbo Inline-6 paired with an e-SKYACTIV®-Drive 8-speed automatic transmission. Standard 3.3 Turbo versions produce up to 280 hp and 332 lbs. ft. of torque. Turbo S models raise output to 340 hp and 369 lbs. ft. of torque when using recommended premium fuel. EPA -estimated fuel economy for 3.3 Turbo and Turbo S models is 23 mpg city, 28 mpg highway, and 25 mpg combined. Mazda also offers the CX-90 PHEV. Its e-SKYACTIV®-PHEV system combines a 2.5L engine with a 68-kW electric motor for 323 hp of total system output. Every CX-90 gets i -ACTIV AWD® as standard. The Chassis Gets Attention, Too Power figures only tell you how quickly an SUV can move. Mazda has also spent time considering what happens once the road bends. Kinematic Posture Control helps reduce body roll during cornering, while Mi-Drive provides different operating modes depending on powertrain and trim. Select inline -6 models offer Sport and Off-Road modes, with Towing mode added on applicable higher trims. PHEV versions add EV mode, with Towing mode available on select configurations. Properly equipped inline-6 models can tow between 3,500 and 5,000 lbs., depending on trim and configuration. That's useful capability, but the more interesting part is the combination: a three-row SUV with AWD, towing ability, and chassis systems designed to preserve some connection between driver and road. Six Inline-6 Trims, Plus Three PHEVs The gasoline CX-90 range begins with 3.3 Turbo Select, which includes leatherette-trimmed seating and standard i -ACTIV AWD®. 3.3 Turbo Preferred adds leather-trimmed heated front and second-row seats, 21-inch alloy wheels, and a power sliding-glass moonroof. Premium Sport raises maximum towing capacity to 5,000 lbs. and adds Mi-Drive Sport, Off-Road, and Towing modes. Premium Plus brings Nappa leather-trimmed seating and a 360° View Monitor with See-Through View and Trailer Hitch View. The Turbo S models introduce the 340 hp version of the 3.3L Inline-6. Turbo S Premium Sport adds the Mazda Driver Personalization System, while Turbo S Premium Plus brings equipment including ventilated front and second-row seats and available second-row captain's chairs. PHEV shoppers have 3 separate choices: Preferred, Premium Sport, and Premium Plus. Safety Goes Beyond a Long Equipment List The 2026 CX-90 earned an IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+ award and a 5-star overall safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Its i -ACTIVSENSE® technologies include features such as Smart Brake Support, Blind Spot Assist, Road Keep Assist, and Driver Monitoring, with equipment varying by trim. Available systems include Cruising and Traffic Support with lane centering, Head-On Traffic Avoidance Assist, and a 360° View Monitor. Vehicle Exit Warning is standard and can alert occupants to vehicles or bicycles approaching from behind before they open a door. Connectivity Changes with the Powertrain Mazda Connect™ provides Bluetooth® connectivity along with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration. A 3-month SiriusXM® trial subscription and 1 year of Mazda Connected Services are also included. On Inline-6 models, Mazda Connected Services can provide Remote Engine Start through the MyMazda app. PHEV models use connected functionality for features including remote charging and climate control instead. Select models also provide USB-C charging outlets in the second and third rows, because an SUV full of passengers inevitably becomes an SUV full of dying phones.
