Trunk comparison: Mazda Mazda CX-5 vs Mazda Mazda CX-60

Key Differences

The most noticeable difference lies in the depth of the trunk (loading edge to trunk floor): the Mazda CX-5 has +2 in (400%) more here than the CX-60. All other reported deviations are small (<10%): the CX-60 offers +1.2 in (2%) more length with the seats folded down and +0.8 in (2%) more length with the first row upright. The height of the trunk opening is +1.2 in (4%) larger on the CX-5, and the loading edge of the CX-5 is +0.8 in (3%) higher above the road. The narrowest width in the trunk is +0.4 in (1%) larger on the CX-5, while the width of the trunk opening is +1.2 in (3%) wider on the CX-60.

Impact on Usability

The significantly greater depth in the CX-5 practically means more "vertical space" between the loading edge and trunk floor: this allows better stacking and more usable interior height in the cargo area, but together with the slightly higher loading edge (+0.8 in) can make handling heavy items more difficult because they must be lifted higher and then lowered deeper.

In short: the CX-5 offers more interior volume in depth but is somewhat less comfortable when loading heavy loads.

The CX-60 scores with slightly more length (with rear seats up and folded) and a wider trunk opening (+1.2 in), which makes loading long and wide items easier. The lesser depth to the trunk floor can make loading and unloading technically simpler (less deep lifting) but offers less stackable space at floor level.

The remaining differences (±1–4%) are marginal in practice: the minimally larger opening height and width at certain points hardly affect everyday usability.

Decision aid: if you often need a lot of stacking space or deep storage, the choice tends toward the CX-5; if you more often load long or wide goods and want a somewhat more convenient loading opening, the CX-60 is advantageous.
