Trunk comparison: Mazda Mazda CX-60 vs Toyota Corolla Wagon
Key Differences (highlighted: differences >10%)
Trunk depth (loading edge to trunk floor): The Toyota Corolla Touring Sports has a significantly deeper cargo area (+3.1 in / 700%) than the Mazda CX‑60. This means the floor of the trunk in the Corolla lies much lower below the loading edge.
Loading height above the road (loading edge): The loading edge of the Mazda CX‑60 sits higher (+3.9 in / 16%) above the road than the Corolla. So the trunk entry in the Mazda is noticeably higher.
Impact on usability
The combination of a deeper trunk floor in the Corolla and the lower loading edge makes loading heavy or bulky items overall easier: less lifting height from the ground, and more space "under" the loading edge for storage.
The downside is that items lie lower – you have to reach deeper or bend more to access smaller contents, and loose items can more easily slip into the recess.
In the Mazda, the higher loading edge results in more lifting effort when loading heavy loads. Advantages are a higher trunk floor position relative to the road and a smaller recess under the loading edge, so the cargo floor is easier to access and loading and unloading smaller items can be simpler and more organized.
Other, smaller differences (under 10%)
- Cargo length: The Corolla offers about +5.1 in (~8%) more length with seats folded down; with the first row upright, it's about +1.6 in (~4%) in favor of the Corolla.
This makes the Corolla somewhat better for longer items, but the difference is moderate.
- Width: The Mazda has about +3.5 in (~9%) more width at the narrowest point and about +2.4 in (~6%) greater opening width – an advantage for transporting wider items, but also below the 10% threshold.
- Height of the trunk opening: Mazda about +0.4 in (~1%) higher – negligible in practice.
Summary
Those who frequently load and unload heavy or bulky cargo at floor level (e.g., boxes, heavy suitcases) benefit from the Corolla: lower loading edge and significantly deeper trunk floor make loading easier and offer more space utilization under the loading edge.
Those who transport wider items or prefer easier, more organized access to the trunk have advantages with the Mazda due to the greater width and shallower trunk area, but must lift more.
