Trunk comparison: Mazda Mazda CX-60 vs VW Tiguan

Key Differences

The most notable difference is that the Mazda CX-60 offers a 3.9 in (≈11%) longer trunk with the first row of seats upright compared to the VW Tiguan.

All other differences are significantly smaller: with the seats folded down, the Mazda's advantage is only 0.4 in (≈1%), the trunk opening is 0.8 in (≈3%) higher, and the narrowest width of the trunk in the Mazda is 1.2 in (≈3%) larger. Depth and loading edge height are practically the same.

Impact on Usability

The 11% longer cargo space with the first row of seats upright has the greatest impact in everyday situations: with full seating occupancy (passengers in the rear seats), significantly longer items can be transported in the Mazda — e.g., skis, long boxes, or building materials that would otherwise have to be placed crosswise or angled.

This makes the Mazda more practical for users who regularly need to carry long cargo while transporting passengers.

With the seats folded down, both models are nearly equally usable, as the 0.4 in difference is negligible. The 0.8 in higher opening in the Mazda slightly eases loading and unloading, for example when sliding in bulky boxes.

The 1.2 in greater minimum width in the Mazda can slightly simplify fitting very wide items but remains a minor advantage. The same loading edge height means comparably comfortable loading between both vehicles.
