Trunk comparison: Fiat Panda vs Mazda Mazda CX-60

Key Differences and Their Impact on Usability

The Mazda CX-60 offers significantly more loading length: with the seats folded down, the trunk is +24.4 in (56%) longer, and with the first row of seats upright, it remains +17.3 in (81%) longer than the Fiat Panda.

This makes the CX-60 clearly better suited for long items (e.g., slats, skis, furniture panels), for transporting large, flat loads, and for situations where the rear seats are regularly folded down to maximize loading length.

The Fiat Panda scores in pass-through and height availability: the trunk opening is +4.7 in (16%) higher than the CX-60, and the distance between the loading edge and the trunk floor is +7.1 in (1700%) greater.

This means taller, bulky items can be more easily accommodated through the opening, and there is more vertical space behind the loading edge.

In practice, the Panda is therefore advantageous in everyday use when frequently transporting tall or bulky parts or when the shape of the cargo is more vertical than horizontal.

Small differences such as the CX-60's 1.2 in wider narrowest width or the 3.5 in larger opening width are under 10% and have hardly noticeable effects in daily use.

Also, the CX-60's loading edge being 2 in higher (compared to the Panda) is relatively minor; in practice, it only means a slightly higher effort when lifting heavy items.

Conclusion: For long, flat, or folded seat configurations, the Mazda CX-60 is the better choice. For frequently storing tall or bulky items and somewhat easier loading (lower loading edge, larger opening height), the Fiat Panda is more practical.
