Trunk comparison: Mazda Mazda CX-60 vs Tesla Model Y

Key Differences

The Tesla Model Y offers significantly more cargo length: with the seats folded down, the trunk is 8.3 in (+12%) longer and with the first row of seats upright, the trunk is 5.1 in (+13%) longer than the Mazda CX‑60. All other measured dimensions are within single-digit percentages or exactly 10% (e.g., the height of the trunk opening on the Mazda +2.8 in / +10%) and are therefore less pronounced.

Impact on Usability

The longer cargo dimensions of the Model Y improve usability for long items (e.g., skis without roof racks, long furniture parts, boards) and make the vehicle more flexible when loading bulky, elongated cargo. For users who regularly transport long loads, the Model Y is more practical.

The Mazda, on the other hand, scores with dimensions that facilitate handling tall and wide cargo: the trunk opening is 2.8 in higher, the narrowest interior width is 3.5 in larger, and the opening width is 3.1 in wider than the Tesla.

Although these differences are below the 10% mark (except for the opening height, which is exactly 10%), they mean that wider or bulkier items fit more easily through the opening and can be better positioned in the rear. The same depth (loading edge to trunk floor) means the loading surface is equally usable in depth.

Practically speaking: those who need more length will tend to choose the Model Y; those who more often have wide or taller items to load or want easier maneuvering through the opening benefit more from the CX‑60. Smaller differences like the Mazda's 1.6 in higher loading edge (about 6%) can make regularly lifting heavy items slightly more difficult but are noticeable only in specific usage scenarios.
