Trunk comparison: Mazda Mazda CX-60 vs VW Touran

Key Differences

The most noticeable difference concerns the usable loading length with seats upright: The Mazda CX‑60 offers a trunk that is 25.2 in (188%) longer than the VW Touran when all seats are upright.

Additionally, the trunk opening of the VW Touran is 3.9 in (13%) higher than that of the Mazda. The loading edge, however, is 4.7 in (19%) higher above the ground on the Mazda compared to the VW.

Other differences (trunk lengths with seats folded down, widths) are each under 10% and thus comparatively minor.

Impact on Usability

Thanks to the significantly longer loading surface with seats upright, the Mazda CX‑60 is better suited for long or bulky items that need to be transported without folding down seats (e.g., long packages, sports equipment, or luggage with full occupancy).

This reduces the need to fold seats when traveling with multiple passengers.

The higher trunk opening of the VW Touran allows easier stowing of tall items and offers more vertical loading clearance – practical for boxes, crates, or tall luggage.

Additionally, the lower loading edge of the VW makes loading and unloading heavy loads easier; the lower loading edge is more ergonomic and reduces lifting compared to the higher Mazda.

With seats folded down, the length differences are minimal, and payload and width differences are also small. Therefore, those who regularly travel with folded seats or mostly lighter luggage will hardly notice any differences.

For frequent transport of long items with full seating, the Mazda is better suited; for easier handling of heavy or tall loads in everyday use, the VW is more practical.
