Trunk comparison: Mazda Mazda CX-5 vs Skoda Elroq

Key Differences (>10%)

Mazda CX‑5 has a significantly longer trunk with the first row of seats upright (+6.3 in / +20%). This practically means more usable cargo space without folding the seats — longer items (e.g. strollers, skis, longer boxes) fit more easily inside.

The depth of the trunk (loading edge → trunk floor) is +1.6 in or +400% greater in the CX‑5. This suggests that the CX‑5 offers a significantly greater vertical usable height in the cargo area: better stackability, more space for bulky or tall cargo, and a lower chance that items will protrude over the loading edge.

Impact on Usability

The combination of more usable length with seats upright and significantly greater depth makes the Mazda CX‑5 more flexible in everyday use for larger or bulky cargo without needing to fold down the rear seats.

Families, users with sports equipment, or occasional furniture transporters benefit from this: more luggage fits inside, items can be stacked higher and more securely, and there is more free space for combinations of passengers and cargo transport.

Other, Smaller Differences

The remaining values differ only slightly: the CX‑5 has +1.2 in (+2%) more trunk length with seats folded, a slightly higher trunk opening (+1.2 in / +4%), +2 in (+5%) more width at the narrowest point, and a +1.2 in (+3%) wider opening.

The loading edge in the CX‑5 is +2.8 in (+10%) higher above the road — this is at the threshold of a relevant difference and can make lifting heavy items somewhat more strenuous.

Conclusion

For users who frequently want to transport larger or tall cargo, the Mazda CX‑5 offers noticeable advantages due to the significantly greater usable length with seats upright and the substantially greater depth. For mostly small luggage or when a lower loading edge is important, the differences are less relevant.
