Trunk comparison: Audi Q2 vs Mazda Mazda CX-5

Main Differences at a Glance

The Mazda CX-5 offers a significantly longer loading length: with the seats folded down, the trunk is 9.8 in (17%) longer, and with the first row of seats upright, it is 7.1 in (23%) longer than in the Audi Q2. The width of the Mazda's trunk opening is 4.7 in (13%) larger.

In contrast, the Audi Q2 has a significantly deeper trunk well (distance from loading edge to trunk floor) — 2.4 in (120%) greater than the Mazda. Smaller differences such as the opening height (+0.8 in / 3%) or the narrowest width (+2.4 in / 6%) are less relevant and have not been highlighted here.

What Impact Do These Differences Have on Usability?

The longer loading areas of the Mazda CX-5 (both with folded and upright seats) and the larger opening width make it more practical for long or wide items: skis, furniture boards, garden furniture, or longer moving boxes can be accommodated more easily and loaded more simply through the larger opening.

Those who frequently transport bulky, elongated, or wide cargo clearly benefit from the CX-5.

The deeper trunk floor of the Audi Q2, on the other hand, creates greater vertical depth in the cargo space. This is advantageous when stacking a lot or when smaller items are to be "recessed" (e.g., bags, tools, groceries), making them lie more stably and less visibly.

Combined with the shorter loading length and narrower opening, however, this means that long or wide items fit less often or must be placed at an angle.

Conclusion: For regular transport of long/wide loads, the Mazda CX-5 is the better choice. For variably stackable, deeper-lying cargo or a "hidden" storage area, the Audi Q2 can be more practical.
