Omoda Jaecoo C9 vs Mazda 6 Grand Touring
Verdict
The Omoda Jaecoo C9 costs RM62,048 less yet brings the stronger numbers: 257 hp and 400 Nm against the Mazda 6 Grand Touring’s 185 hp and 250 Nm, plus a larger 660-litre boot versus 522 litres. It is also wider, taller and has a longer wheelbase, so it feels the more SUV-shaped family choice on paper. The Mazda counters as a lower wagon with known performance figures of 8.2 seconds to 100 km/h and 218 km/h, but it asks more in price and road tax.
Pick the Omoda Jaecoo C9 if you want the cheaper car with more power, more torque, a bigger boot, eight airbags and a seven-year warranty.
Pick the Mazda 6 Grand Touring if you prefer a lower wagon body, CBU assembly and the certainty of published 0-100 km/h and top speed figures.
