Trunk comparison: Audi A6 Sedan vs Mazda Mazda CX-60

Key Differences

The Audi A6 offers a longer cargo area: with the seats folded down, the trunk of the A6 is +8.7 in (13%) longer, and with the first row upright, it is +6.7 in (17%) longer compared to the Mazda CX‑60. The trunk opening of the Mazda is significantly higher: it is +10.2 in (52%) above that of the A6. The depth of the trunk (loading edge to trunk floor) is considerably greater in the Audi: the A6 has +4.7 in (1100%) more here.

The loading edge of the Mazda sits overall +3.1 in (12%) higher above the road. Additionally, the width of the trunk opening in the Mazda is +5.9 in (16%) larger; the narrowest internal width differs only minimally (+0.8 in / 2%).

Impact on Usability

- Cargo length: Due to the longer cargo area in the A6, longer items (skis, furniture parts, long boxes) can be transported more easily. With the seats folded down, the A6 gains significantly in usable length.

- Height and width of the opening: The Mazda is better suited for tall or bulky items that need to be loaded frontally through the opening (e.g., tall boxes, larger crates, or bulky furniture parts) due to its significantly higher opening and wider loading opening.

- Loading edge and floor depth: The higher loading edge of the Mazda means more lifting when loading — heavy cargo is more strenuous to load in the Mazda.

The A6, on the other hand, has a significantly greater floor depth (lower trunk floor relative to the loading edge), which on one hand can provide more usable volume and a lower center of gravity for loaded items, but on the other hand, the lower-lying cargo may need to be lifted or reached down further when loading and unloading.

- Practical consequence: For longer cargo and stable, lower-lying storage space, the Audi A6 is better suited. For bulky, tall, or wide items where opening dimensions and entry height are decisive, the Mazda CX‑60 has the advantage. Smaller differences like the narrowest width are hardly relevant in practice.
