Trunk comparison: Mazda Mazda CX-60 vs VW Taigo

Main Differences (highlighted: >10%)

The Mazda CX-60 offers a longer cargo area: with the seats folded down, the trunk is +6.7 in (11%) longer than the VW Taigo; with the first row upright, it is even +6.3 in (20%) longer.

The VW Taigo, on the other hand, has a significantly greater trunk depth (loading edge to trunk floor): it is +7.9 in (1900%) higher than the Mazda.

Other, smaller differences: the height of the VW Taigo's trunk opening is +1.6 in (5%) higher, the Taigo's loading edge is +0.4 in (1%) higher above the ground, the narrowest trunk width of the Mazda is +2 in (5%) larger, and the width of the Mazda's trunk opening is +3.9 in (10%) larger.

What are the implications for usability?

Because the Mazda CX-60 primarily offers a longer cargo area, it is better suited for long, flat items (e.g., slats, furniture boards, skis) and for transport tasks where the rear seats are folded down. The greater width of the Mazda's trunk opening (plus 3.9 in) makes loading and unloading wide or bulky items easier.

The VW Taigo offers more vertical volume due to the significantly higher trunk depth: it can better accommodate tall or bulky items that "stand" in the trunk rather than being laid flat.

The slightly higher trunk opening (+1.6 in) supports accommodating tall cargo but does not make a dramatic difference. The small difference in loading edge height (+0.4 in) hardly affects lifting.

In short: For long and wide cargo, the Mazda is the more practical choice; for more vertical volume or tall cargo, the Taigo is better suited. Smaller differences in opening height and narrowest width only have a limited impact on everyday usability.
