Mazda released the first CX-5 back in 2012. It’s a compact crossover SUV that offers a roomy interior, making it a fine option as a family vehicle. But when it comes to trunk space, what can you expect from the Mazda CX-5?
The 2022 Mazda CX-5 has 59.3 cubic feet of space trunk space with the rear seats down. With the seats up, the trunk space drops to just 29.1 cubic feet.
As important as the amount of cargo space is in a vehicle, it’s not the only thing worth considering, especially if you’re going to buy a new car for your family. In this guide, we’ll explain in greater detail how much cargo space the 2022 Mazda CX-5 has, as well as the interior and exterior measurements of the crossover SUV.
2022 Mazda CX-5 Trunk Dimensions
The first thing you should know about the 2022 Mazda CX-5 is that it comes in eight different trims. However, in terms of cargo space, you won’t find a single inch of difference between them. Below, I’ll describe the exact cargo space ratings of the CX-5.

Overall, the 2022 Mazda CX-5 has a decent cargo volume rating for a compact crossover SUV. With the second row of seats folded down, you can increase its cargo volume by about 93% compared to the amount of space you get with the seats up.
However, t’s important that you understand how cargo volume rating works. While the CX-5 can theoretically hold onto 59.3 cubic feet of cargo in one trip, this doesn’t take into account the design of the trunk. That means you’re generally looking at an overstated rating that includes tiny pockets where you cannot place groceries or travel bags in.
