Mazda recently released pricing for its 2026 vehicle lineup, and the automaker has bucked the upward trend seen in most of the auto industry. Some models became cheaper, and most came close to their fairly reasonable prices from the year before.

The new CX-50 became $600 cheaper for 2026, while the Mazda3 still starts at under $26,000, although it has become slightly more expensive. The CX-90 also saw a slight price bump, and we don’t yet have pricing for the newly updated CX-5. While the CX-50 got a decent price cut, its hybrid counterpart did not, actually increasing by around $800.


Interestingly, the two-row CX-70 is pricier than its three-row counterpart, outpricing the CX-90 by more than $4,300, representing an $1,805 price increase from 2025. The CX-30’s price tag grew by about $800, but all of Mazda’s SUVs come standard with all-wheel drive, and most are pretty well equipped out of the box.

While we’re missing prices for a few models, Mazda’s prices for 2026 are impressive. The automaker was able to hold prices close to their previous levels, despite facing additional costs from tariffs. Additionally, most of the automaker’s new models far undercut the national new-car average transaction price, which reached almost $49,000 in June of this year.

    But mazda today is a luxury brand. Paying premium is important here. If their cars had independent rear suspension I would pay even more.

      You can pretend the skyactiv inline six turbo is a slant six under the hood with respect to complexity, but you'll be disappointed.


  • MaintenanceCosts This is, in a way, a classic muscle car. It’s a powertrain that was designed to make sure a bigger, heavier XC90 remained competitive in a field of big turbo-six BMWs and Mercedes, put into a smaller CUV. The quarter-mile trap speeds are more impressive than the 0-60 times.

  • Kwi65728132 Nice but not my color combo, I did have the Lincoln LS which gave 277k miles of mostly trouble free service the only major repair was the trans at 209k.The biggest problem with the Lincoln LS was the American name but European car maintenance requirements.
  • Slavuta Now I remember that interview.. it was some GM manager talking. He said something along this - soon, if you want to drive yourself, there will be designated areas for that. Otherwise you will be driven by an automated vehicle.
