This year’s International Engineering Sourcing Show (IESS) is currently being held at the Chennai Trade Centre in India, and our attending sister site – paultan.org/BM – managed to spot two familiar faces at the event.
Parked at the entrance of the venue is a Perodua Bezza, which was shipped over to India by the Malaysia Automotive Robotics and IoT Institute (MARii), along with a Perodua Myvi placed in the ‘Malaysia Pavilion’ on the show floor.
However, these cars aren’t being previewed as part of a pre-sale exercise. Instead, they are meant to promote the capabilities of our local automotive vendors so they may secure international business opportunities moving forward.
The IESS provides exporters of engineering products and services to develop business contacts with leading importers, buyers, dealers, distributors and wholesalers of engineering products from America, Europe, Africa, Latin America, ASEAN, Australia, New Zealand and CIS countries.
This year, Malaysia, via MARii, is an official partner for the event, with the goal of exposing local automotive vendors to the export market.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Fun fact: in Pakistan, the perodua bezza is sold as a Toyota Bezza!
There’s no such thing as a Toyota Bezza. Stop conning us.
I heard from my Indian friends in India that they are all excited with the Myvi and Bezza
Wow, even India is excited and got confidence with Perodua. 1.6 billion population want the car!
I am so proud of Perodua. The Game Changing National Car Brand that goes international showing their Game Changing cars. Our first National Car, Perusahaan Otomobil Nasional Sdn Bhd, already Game Over as they only can rebadge Geely cars. Habisla Proton!
Another “my friends” story. Yeah sure….
I am not conning you. It’s what I’ve read somewhere!
Sorry, my bad. It has a Daihatsu badge and is sold by Toyota there… LOL
I wish Proton was more proactive like Perodua to market their cars in India
Copy paste: “I wish Perodua was more proactive like MITI to market their cars in India
Bezza is 150mm longer than 4m
“promote the capabilities of our local automotive vendors”
When they take a look at our loooonggg list of crony vendors and how they played out Proton by charging ridiculous prices all for the sake to satisfy and old man’s wet dream, why would they want to do business with us? They have a much more capable automotive industry. Take a look at the Hindustan Ambassador! MITI and Marii being there is a joke!
Syabas P2! To 1Bil homeland India ppl & more !
Tahniah dan syabas to our sole national automaker P2 for flying the Malaysian flag and doing us proud.
Which part of P2 is national?
The workers maybe?
The mainland Indians will look at these cars and think: “Why is Malaysia promoting Daihatsu rebadges that cannot compete with Suzuki and Honda here?”
Dei Bezza & new Myvi where got rebadge. They only use Daihatsu platform but with all original design. It’s Daihatsu that’s rebadging the new Myvi in Indonesia.
Reskinning a body is like a Korean doing plastic surgery. You still don’t change what’s on the inside. Which are hand-me-down dinosaurs.
There’s nothing original with Perodua. Even their logo was adapted from Toyota.
Logo was not from Perodua, shut up if you don’t know, In 1997, we did local competition for new logo, a student from Lim Kok Wing compete with her design proposal, and won first prize. Her design selected and used as new logo. I was there as GM then

No coincidence why so similar. You’re not fooling anyone here but yourself.
Yes, Bezza and Myvi are designed entirely by Perodua themselves. These are the only 2 models that are not rebadged.
Sez the Perodua salesman, but we know the truth.
Copy paste: “Lucky Indonesia has given us such a reliable car. For 30 years Perodua could not give us good and high safety spec. we needed a foreign Government and foreign car company to give this to the rakyat of Malaysia”
Proud to be Malaysians… our bezza and myvi are 99.9% design by perodua malaysia. Not like the other one, already 30 years but still not take the ‘pelajaran’ from mitsubishi. Gudluck, congrats, syabas, tahniah, etc to Perodua !!
Malaysians know a sweet potato about cars.
Indians need Bezza in diesel engine. If no diesel engine it will not be succeed.

99.99% design by malaysian…LOL..maybe caveman malaysian yang design kot? ha ha ha ha

Father: Perodua?
