Price Breakdown
The Geely EX2 starts from $26,490 before on-road costs, while the Mazda 6 opens at $29,740. That makes the Geely EX2 the more affordable entry point by $3,250.
Once you factor in stamp duty, registration, CTP insurance, and dealer delivery, expect to add roughly 8-12% on top of the RRP depending on your state. That puts estimated driveaway prices in the ballpark of $29,139 and $32,714 respectively.
The Geely EX2 qualifies for FBT exemption as an electric vehicle, which can dramatically reduce the effective cost for novated lease buyers. The Mazda 6, as a petrol model, does not qualify.

Estimates from usable battery size and the car's max charge rates (7.4kW AC, 80kW DC). Real times vary with temperature, starting charge, charger output and the charging curve.
Feature Showdown
Both come with modern infotainment systems.
The Geely EX2 stands out with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, wireless charging, heated front seats, power tailgate, V2L and ambient lighting that you will not find on the Mazda 6. Which feature set matters more depends on your daily routine and priorities.
Drivetrain
The Geely EX2 runs a pure electric powertrain producing 85kW and 150Nm of torque, sent through its transmission to a RWD layout. It covers the 0-100km/h sprint in 11.5 seconds.
The Mazda 6 responds with a 2.5 litre in-line 4 cylinder 16 valve DOHC S-VT making 125kW and 226Nm, paired to a 6-speed manual / 5-speed automatic driving the front wheels.
The Mazda 6 has the clear power advantage at 125kW vs 85kW. For most buyers, the way each car feels day-to-day matters more than outright acceleration.
Space & Comfort
The Geely EX2 measures 4,135mm long on a 2,645mm wheelbase, 600mm shorter than the Mazda 6 at 4,735mm (2,725mm wheelbase). The longer wheelbase on the Mazda 6 generally means more rear legroom.
Boot space is 375L in the Geely EX2 and 519L in the Mazda 6, giving the Mazda 6 a 144L advantage.
