Trunk comparison: Mazda Mazda CX-60 vs Opel Astra Wagon
Key Differences
Most dimensions are close between the models: the Mazda CX‑60 offers a 2.8 in (4%) longer cargo floor with the seats folded down, while the Astra Wagon has 3.5 in (9%) more depth with the first row of seats upright.
The width at the narrowest point is 2 in (5%) greater in the Astra, the width of the trunk opening is 1.6 in (4%) larger in the Mazda, and the height of the opening is 0.8 in (3%) higher in the Astra.
Two differences stand out clearly: The depth of the trunk (loading edge to trunk floor) is 0.8 in (+100%) greater in the Opel Astra Wagon than in the Mazda. Additionally, the loading edge of the Mazda CX‑60 is 5.9 in (+25%) higher above the road than that of the Astra.
Impact on Usability
Trunk Depth (Astra +0.8 in / +100%)
Greater depth between the loading edge and trunk floor means the Astra has somewhat more vertical space just behind the loading edge.
Practically, this means taller or bulky items can be more easily placed in the cargo area because there is more interior height directly behind the loading edge.
Also, hiding cargo below the edge (e.g., flat boxes) is easier. Although the advantage is only 0.8 in, it is significant percentage-wise because the starting value in the Mazda is very small.
Loading Edge Height (Mazda +5.9 in / +25%)
The significantly higher loading edge of the Mazda makes lifting heavy items into the trunk more strenuous: boxes, furniture pieces, or beverage crates must be lifted higher.
For rolling carts, rolling suitcases, or lighter rolling loads, the Astra is more comfortable due to the lower loading edge—less effort, easier rolling in and out.
However, the higher loading edge of the Mazda can protect loading of slippery or moisture-sensitive items because they are positioned further from the road edge.
In summary: For frequent loading of heavy or rolling loads and for easily placing tall items, the Opel Astra Wagon is more practical due to the lower loading edge and greater interior depth.
The Mazda CX‑60 scores with an overall higher loading edge (protects against road dirt) and a slightly larger opening width of the cargo opening but is less comfortable when lifting loads.
