Trunk comparison: Mazda Mazda CX-60 vs Mercedes Benz GLC

Summary

None of the measured values exceed the 10% threshold, so there are no differences that need to be particularly highlighted according to your criteria.

The existing deviations are small to moderate and mainly concern trunk length in various seat positions, the narrowest width of the cargo area, and the height of the loading edge.

Key Differences

With the front seats upright, the Mazda CX‑60 offers a trunk that is 2 in (≈5%) longer than the GLC, providing slightly more usable cargo space lengthwise for everyday use with full seating. When all seats are folded down, the GLC is 0.8 in (≈1%) longer—a practical advantage, but very minor.

The narrowest width of the trunk is 2.4 in (≈6%) greater in the GLC, which makes storing wider or irregularly shaped items easier. The width of the trunk opening differs by only 1% in favor of the GLC.

The height of the trunk opening and the depth from the loading edge to the floor are the same in both models. The Mazda’s loading edge is 1.2 in (≈4%) higher above the road than the GLC’s.

Implications for Usability

In practice, the differences are small but lead to noticeable advantages and disadvantages in specific situations: Those who frequently transport longer items (e.g., skis, long boxes) with the rear seats upright benefit slightly from the Mazda’s longer cargo space.

Those loading wide or bulky items (board packages, wide suitcases) have advantages with the GLC due to its greater narrowest width; the slightly larger opening width also helps when loading wider objects.

The higher loading edge of the Mazda makes lifting heavy items somewhat more strenuous and can be a factor with frequent loading and unloading. When transporting very large quantities with seats folded down, both vehicles are practically equivalent since the 0.8 in length difference and other deviations are minor.

Conclusion

No difference exceeds 10%, so both models are very similar in everyday usability. Your priorities are decisive: slightly longer cargo space with seats up (Mazda) versus somewhat more width for bulky loads and a lower loading edge (GLC).
