Trunk comparison: Mazda Mazda CX-60 vs Skoda Elroq

Key Difference

The decisive advantage lies in the cargo volume with the first row of seats upright: The Mazda CX-60 offers a cargo floor that is 7.1 in (23%) longer than the Skoda Elroq.

Practically, this means: with all seats in the normal position, the Mazda can hold significantly more long cargo (e.g., long boxes, skis, boards) without folding down the seats.

Other Differences and Impact on Usability

When all seats are folded down, the difference is small (Mazda +2.4 in / 4%) and therefore hardly noticeable in everyday use: with fully folded seats, both models offer similar total cargo depth. The height of the trunk opening is the same, so loading behavior regarding head clearance does not change.

The loading edge of the Mazda is 2 in higher than that of the Skoda, which makes lifting heavy items into the Mazda somewhat more strenuous; the Skoda is ergonomically more favorable here (difference here is 7%, thus below the 10% threshold).

The depth from the cargo floor to the edge as well as the narrowest width of the trunk differ only slightly (±1–2.4 in), so plywood sheets or wide suitcases can be handled similarly in both vehicles, with the Mazda offering slightly more width in some areas.

Conclusion

For users who frequently need to transport long items without folding seats down (e.g., craftsmen, athletes with long sports equipment), the Mazda CX-60 is clearly advantageous due to the 23% longer cargo floor with the first row of seats upright.

For users who mainly drive with folded seats or value easier loading, the differences are minor and the Skoda Elroq remains a practically equivalent, sometimes ergonomically more favorable alternative.
