Trunk comparison: Mazda Mazda CX-5 vs Durchschnitt Wagon

Summary of the Largest Differences

Two clear differences exceeding 10% stand out in the comparison: The depth of the trunk (loading edge to trunk floor) of the Mazda CX‑5 is 0.4 in or 25% larger than the average wagon.

At the same time, the loading edge of the CX‑5 is 5.1 in or 21% higher above the road. All other dimensions (length with seats folded or first row upright, widths, height of the trunk opening) differ only slightly (<10%) and are practically equivalent.

Implications for Usability

The greater trunk depth means more usable volume vertically: the CX‑5 offers slightly more "insertion depth," so bulky or higher stacked items can fit deeper inside the vehicle. This is advantageous for voluminous luggage or when you want to place items more stably in a row.

The significantly higher loading edge, however, makes loading and unloading more strenuous, especially with heavy or large items: objects must be lifted further and higher, placing them on the loading edge requires more effort, and frequent handling is less comfortable than with a lower wagon.

In short: the CX‑5 offers somewhat more usable interior volume due to the deeper loading floor but pays for it with a noticeably higher lift when loading.

For users who often load heavy items, the mid-size wagon is more practical due to the lower loading edge; those who more frequently transport bulky but not extremely heavy cargo benefit from the slightly deeper loading floor of the CX‑5.
