Trunk comparison: Ford Focus vs Mazda Mazda CX-60

Key Differences

Three differences stand out between the two models: The Mazda CX-60 has a cargo space length that is 7.1 in (12%) longer with the seats folded down and a cargo space length that is 8.3 in (27%) longer with the first row of seats upright than the Ford Focus.

In contrast, the trunk depth (loading edge to trunk floor) in the Ford Focus is 7.1 in (1700%) greater than in the Mazda CX-60.

Impact on Usability

The greater cargo length of the CX-60 (both +12% and +27%) makes it more practical for long items such as furniture parts, skis, or longer luggage—both with folded seats and in normal operation with passengers. Those who frequently transport long, flat, or bulky items will noticeably benefit from the Mazda.

The significantly greater depth in the Focus means the trunk floor lies further below the loading edge: This creates more usable vertical space inside the trunk and allows items to be stored deeper or stacked cargo to be secured more safely.

Combined with a lower loading edge height (Mazda is 2 in higher) and a slightly higher opening height in the Focus (+1.6 in), the Focus overall offers easier handling of heavy or tall loads—less lifting over the edge and more volume capacity in depth.

Other differences such as the slightly wider opening width and narrowest width in the CX-60 (both under 10%) or the higher loading edge of the Mazda (≈7%) exist and can matter when loading or unloading bulky, wide parts, but are less decisive compared to the differences mentioned above.

Conclusion: For longer, linear cargo and more usable loading length, the Mazda CX-60 is advantageous. For frequent loading of heavy or tall items that benefit from a deeper cargo well and a lower loading edge, the Ford Focus is more practical.
