Summer road trips require the right interior space for your family's needs. Each Mazda SUV delivers different passenger and cargo configurations, designed for specific family sizes and travel requirements. Here's how the interior dimensions compare across the lineup to help you choose the right match.
CX-30: Compact Urban Solution
The CX-30 offers 572 litres of cargo space behind the rear seats, expanding to 1,280 litres with seats folded. Front passengers get 1,059 mm of legroom, while rear passengers have 922 mm. This five-seat crossover works well for smaller families who value easy parking and fuel efficiency without giving up storage for weekend trips.
The compact size makes city driving simple, while the interior layout maximizes usable space. You get SUV practicality in a package that fits urban life.
CX-5: Mid-Size Family Favourite
The CX-5 provides 871 litres behind the second row and 1,680 litres maximum cargo capacity. Rear passengers enjoy 1,007 mm of legroom, and the wider body creates more shoulder room at 1,451 mm front and 1,392 mm rear. Five passengers travel comfortably with space for extended family trips and gear.
This model handles growing families who need more room than compact SUVs offer. The extra space makes a real difference on longer journeys.
CX-50: Adventure-Ready Design
The CX-50 balances outdoor capability with interior comfort. You get 889 litres of cargo space behind the rear seats, expanding to 1,595 litres total. The 2,815 mm wheelbase creates generous interior room, with rear passengers enjoying 1,012 mm of legroom. Five seats handle most family configurations while leaving room for camping gear or sports equipment.
The rugged design supports active lifestyles, and the interior space accommodates the gear that outdoor adventures require.
CX-70: Premium Two-Row Space
The CX-70 focuses on luxury and space efficiency. Cargo capacity reaches 1,131 litres behind the second row and 2,147 litres maximum with moonroof configuration. The extended wheelbase provides 1,000 mm of rear legroom, and the wider cabin delivers 1,504 mm of front shoulder room. Five passengers travel with elevated comfort and plenty of storage.
This model suits families who want premium features and extra space without the bulk of a three-row SUV.
