A detailed look at how two of Australia's most popular Sedans compare on price, running costs, safety, and everyday livability.
Specifications and pricing correct at time of publishing. Prices are RRP before on-road costs unless stated otherwise. Always confirm with the manufacturer or dealer before purchasing.
Price Breakdown
The Mazda 6e starts from $49,990 before on-road costs, while the MG 7 opens at $44,990. That makes the MG 7 the more affordable entry point by $5,000.
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 $54,989 and $49,489 respectively.
The Mazda 6e qualifies for FBT exemption as an electric vehicle, which can dramatically reduce the effective cost for novated lease buyers. The MG 7, as a petrol model, does not qualify.
Over 5 years, the running costs favour the Mazda 6e by roughly $7,850 in fuel alone.
