Trunk comparison: Ford Escape vs Mazda Mazda CX-60

Key Differences

There are no measurements with a difference of more than 10%. Many dimensions are identical: the trunk length with folded seats as well as with the first row upright is the same, the height of the trunk opening is the same, and the narrowest interior width of the trunk is also identical.

Small deviations in favor of the Mazda CX-60: the loading edge is 1.6 in higher on the Mazda (+6%) and the width of the trunk opening is 1.2 in larger (+3%). The Ford Kuga has a 0.4 in greater depth from the trunk floor to the loading edge (≈0% difference).

Impact on Usability

Since there are no differences over 10%, the practical effects are overall minor. Nevertheless, small usage differences arise:

• Higher loading edge on the Mazda (+1.6 in / +6%): Lifting heavy objects into the cargo area requires slightly more effort or a higher lift. For regular transport of heavy loads or bulky items, this can minimally complicate loading and unloading.
• Wider opening width on the Mazda (+1.2 in / +3%): Bringing in wider items is somewhat easier. For wide suitcases or bulky parts, this can be a small advantage, but in many everyday situations the difference is marginal.
• Slightly greater depth on the Ford (+0.4 in): This difference is negligible and hardly affects cargo volume in practice.

Conclusion: Both models offer practically the same trunk dimensions.

Those who frequently load and unload large, heavy loads might prefer the slightly lower loading height advantage of the Ford; those who occasionally transport particularly wide items benefit minimally from the Mazda's wider opening. For most users, however, the differences are insignificant.
