Trunk comparison: Mazda Mazda CX-60 vs VW Caddy Wagon

Key Differences

The Mazda CX-60 offers significantly more cargo length with the seats folded down: +22.4 in (49%) compared to the VW Caddy Wagon. The VW Caddy Wagon has a significantly higher trunk opening: +15 in (50%). The depth of the trunk (loading edge to trunk floor) is 0.8 in (100%) greater in the VW.

The loading edge of the Mazda is +6.7 in (30%) higher above the ground than the VW. Small differences under 10% that therefore have less impact: VW has +3.5 in (9%) more cargo length with the first row of seats upright, +3.5 in (9%) more width at the narrowest point, and +1.6 in (4%) more width at the opening.

Implications for Usability

The significantly greater cargo length of the Mazda with folded seats makes it better suited for long items such as slats, pipes, furniture parts, or long sports equipment. If you frequently need to transport long loads, the CX-60 offers noticeable advantages.

The higher trunk opening of the VW greatly facilitates loading tall or bulky items (e.g., boxes, large carton goods, upright furniture parts).

Combined with the slightly greater trunk depth, this means the Caddy can accommodate bulky and tall cargo more easily, even though the pure cargo length with folded seats is smaller.

The 6.7 in higher loading edge of the Mazda makes lifting heavy loads into the trunk more strenuous and complicates rolling transport carts or boxes. The VW with its lower loading edge is more convenient for everyday loading and unloading, especially with heavy or rolling cargo.

The very small width differences (≤9%) are hardly noticeable for most uses; together with the higher opening of the VW, they do provide an advantage when loading wide or awkward items.

Practical Summary

Choose the Mazda CX-60 if primarily transporting long items (more cargo length with folded seats). Choose the VW Caddy Wagon if ease of loading, lower loading edge, and more vertical space for bulky or tall cargo are important.
