Verdict
The Jetour T2 costs RM156,800, RM23,559 less than the RM180,359 Mazda 6 Sedan, yet brings 241 hp, 375 Nm and all-wheel drive against 163 hp, 213 Nm and front-wheel drive. It is also the more practical five-door, with a 580-litre boot, 15.6-inch screen, 360-degree camera and autonomous braking. The Mazda is 100 kg lighter, has a 30 mm longer wheelbase and a rated 5.7 L/100 km economy figure, but it is the less equipped choice on safety assistance and cabin hardware.

Pick the Mazda 6 Sedan if you prefer a 1,393 kg sedan with a 2,830 mm wheelbase, rated 5.7 L/100 km fuel economy and five-star EuroNCAP and ANCAP ratings.
