Trunk comparison: Mazda Mazda CX-60 vs Skoda Karoq

Key Differences (Summary)

Clear focuses emerge in cargo space: The Mazda CX-60 offers a longer loading area, namely +6.7 in (11%) with the seats folded down and even +8.7 in (29%) with the first row upright compared to the Škoda Karoq.

The Karoq, on the other hand, scores with significantly more vertical space: the trunk opening is +6.3 in (21%) higher and the depth between the loading edge and trunk floor is +5.9 in (1400%) greater than in the Mazda.

Impact on Usability

Practical consequences of these differences:

• Mazda CX-60 — better for long items: The longer loading area (both with folded seats and with the first row upright) makes the CX-60 more suitable for long loads like boards, skis, or long furniture parts. When length matters, the Mazda offers a clear advantage.
• Škoda Karoq — better for tall/stacked and bulky cargo: The higher opening and significantly greater depth make it easier to load tall or bulky items and create more vertical volume; crates, moving boxes, or tall luggage can be accommodated more often. Due to the deeper loading floor, items can also lie deeper and more stably, which helps when transporting stackable cargo.
• Ergonomics and everyday use: The higher trunk opening and deeper loading floor of the Karoq simplify loading tall objects but can make reaching into the trunk a bit more difficult because the loading edge may be higher and the floor lower. The Mazda is advantageous when it comes to transporting long items without folding many seats.
