The boot space compared to other Mazda models
But how does the Mazda 6 stack against fellow warriors in the Mazda stable? The Mazda MX-5 RF and Roadster are like the minimalist cousins, boasting a rather snug 127 and 130 litres respectively - hardly a surprise given their weekend getaway vibe. The CX-30, on the other hand, steps up with 430 litres, making a compelling case for the 'more is better' camp. But it's the CX-60 that's the alpha in the pack with a boot you could possibly rent out as a studio flat in some parts of the world, offering 570 litres of space. The Mazda 6, with its 480 litres, finds itself in a curious middle ground: not the roomiest of the lot, but far from claustrophobic.

How does the boot space of the Mazda 6 compare to it's nearest competitors?
However, the true test comes when pitting the Mazda 6 against its ancestral rivals on the automotive battleground. It's like David and Goliath, except David's slingshot is filled with litres. The Mazda 6 faces tough competition from the Alfa Romeo Giulia, with both cars locked in a trunk-size duel at 480 litres. Yet, when it stares down the BMW X3, also wielding 480 litres, it's clear this is a battle of equals in terms of cargo. The Ford Galaxy, however, is the behemoth with 810 litres, making the Mazda 6 seem like it's brought a knife to a cannon fight. Nevertheless, in the realm of reasonably sized family cars, the Mazda 6 holds its own, offering a commendable boot size that blends practicality with the sleek design we’ve come to expect from Mazda.
