Trunk comparison: Mazda Mazda CX-60 vs Opel Astra Wagon

Key Differences (highlighted: >10%)

Three significant differences stand out from the data: The height of the trunk opening of the Opel Astra Sports Tourer is 3.5 in or 12% higher than that of the Mazda CX‑60. The depth of the trunk (distance from loading edge to trunk floor) is 5.5 in or 1300% greater in the Astra compared to the Mazda.

The loading edge of the Mazda is 5.1 in or 21% higher above the ground than that of the Opel. The other dimensions (length and width differences of 2–1.6 in / 2–4%) are comparatively insignificant.

Impact on Usability

The higher trunk opening in the Astra makes it easier to store tall items (e.g., crates, bulky groceries, strollers) because less tilting or angling is required.

Combined with the significantly greater depth between the loading edge and trunk floor, the Astra offers more usable vertical and storage space behind the loading edge — meaning taller cargo fits better and can be pushed further down or deeper into the vehicle.

The significantly lower loading edge in the Opel (conversely, the higher loading edge in the Mazda) makes lifting heavy items into the trunk much easier in the Astra; loading in the Mazda requires more effort and is ergonomically less favorable, especially with heavy or bulky loads and frequent use.

The Mazda, on the other hand, offers about 0.8 in more width at the narrowest points and at the opening — an advantage only for very wide items, which usually has little practical impact. Likewise, the length differences of 3–4% are so small that they are hardly relevant in normal use.

In summary: For frequent loading of heavy, tall, or bulky items, the Opel Astra Sports Tourer is clearly more practical due to its higher opening, greater depth reserve, and lower loading edge.

The Mazda CX‑60 offers slight advantages in width but has disadvantages in daily loading due to the higher loading edge and reduced usable depth.
