Trunk comparison: Mazda Mazda CX-60 vs VW Tiguan Allspace
Key Differences
Two differences stand out clearly in loading behavior: The VW Tiguan Allspace offers a cargo area that is +5.5 in (14%) longer with the front seats upright than the Mazda CX‑60. Conversely, the Mazda CX‑60 has a cargo area that is +20.1 in (109%) longer than the Tiguan Allspace with all seats fully upright.
All other dimensions differ only slightly: The trunk opening of the Mazda is 1.6 in (6%) higher, the loading edge of the Tiguan is 1.2 in (4%) higher above the ground, the narrowest width favors the Mazda by 1.6 in (4%) larger, and the opening width favors the Tiguan by 2 in (5%) larger.
The depth of the trunk (loading edge to floor) is the same in both models.
Impact on Usability
The significantly greater loading height of the Mazda with all seats fully upright (+20.1 in / 109%) makes it more practical for everyday use when frequently transporting a full load of passengers: suitcases, shopping bags, or strollers can be accommodated much more easily with full seating.
For families or users who regularly drive with five people and still need a lot of luggage, the CX‑60 has the advantage.
The Tiguan Allspace’s advantage of +5.5 in (14%) length with the front seats upright addresses uses where longer items need to be loaded or seats are combined differently (e.g., folded rear bench/partial loading).
The additional length measurement facilitates transporting longer cargo, such as furniture parts or long sports equipment, provided the respective seat configuration is used.
The smaller differences (opening height, loading edge, and width dimensions) have less impact in practice but are noticeable: The higher trunk opening of the Mazda makes it easier to load taller items, the lower loading edge of the Mazda makes lifting easier, while the slightly wider opening of the Tiguan simplifies loading wider items.
Overall, the preferred use (regular full occupancy vs. frequent loading of longer items) determines which model is more practical.
