Perodua has revealed that its Bezza sedan has become the best-selling sub-1.0 litre sedan in Sri Lanka, and is leading the sub-1.0 litre segment in terms of sales, across all body-styles.
The automaker said that it had sold more than 1,500 units of the Bezza since the car was launched in the republic two years ago. This places the Bezza among the fastest-selling models Perodua has introduced there, along with the Axia, which has sold some 3,000 units since its introduction in 2015.
Brought in by official distributor Unimo Enterprises, the Bezza is available in a single 1.0 litre variant, with an automatic transmission. The pricing for the car remains as it was at point of introduction, at 3.69 million Sri Lankan rupees, but the current exchange rate means that it is now price at RM86,200 with conversion, a whole lot less than the RM103,000 it was when it debuted in June 2017.
“We congratulate Unimo Enterprises CEO and executive director Mahesh Gunathilake and his team for their hard work in promoting the brand and especially for the significant milestones they have achieved so far,” Perodua president and CEO Datuk Zainal Abidin Ahmad said.
“We work very closely with Unimo to provide product knowledge and technical training for their sales and service staff, so our valued Sri Lankan customers can rest assured knowing that their Bezzas and Axias are always in the best of hands,” he added.
Gunathilake said that Sri Lankan buyers love the Bezza and Axia for their compactness, practicality, quality, reliability, durability and fuel efficiency. “In particular, the Perodua Bezza has quite successfully introduced the compact sedan segment to Sri Lanka, a market long dominated by hatchbacks. Our customers really appreciate the bodystyle, increased comfort and cavernous 508-litre boot,” Gunathilake said.
Sri Lanka is the brand’s biggest overseas market, with over 15,600 Perodua vehicles having been sold there since 1997. Earlier this month, during the Myvi’s introduction in Mauritius, the automaker said it is aiming to export 3,270 cars this year, a 50% increase over the 2,184 units it managed in 2018.

Wow! Best selling sedan! Wait a sec, only 1,500 in 2 years?! WTH! Thats like only 2 units sold per day wei! Whats there to shout about?! Perodua shiok sendiri once again.
Business is slowing down with P2. They need some sort of good news so whatever they can goreng, they will goreng until the sky.
Proton sold 0 cars and exit from Indonesia. What a shame that game over Proton couldn’t even sell a single car in our neighbour country. This is why Proton needs to learn from game changing Perodua as Perodua are able to sell cars in the international market
Proton have sold cars even in Germany. Which significant market that Perodua has? Mauritius? Don’t make me laugh with your schoolboy argument.
say whatever u want, p2 bezza still the best selling sedan in sri lanka.. proton cannot sell at all lol!
P1 sells in Egypt by the hundreds each time they ship out. P1 tak kecoh pun.

Why so butthurt about Proton that you have to bring that up? This place is becoming like a middle-school playground. Oooh “my dad makes more money than your dad!” “Your mom is fatter than my mom!”
Pathetic.
LOL!! Proton fanboy got triggered by dupe account
They are living in denial and cannot accept the fact that game changing Perodua is successful in international market
Puh-lezz! Talk to my Mercedes E300 before you make another accusation. I’m no Proton fan but this Proton whacking in unrelated articles are seriously dragging the comment section down.
Perodua fanboys are just shaming the brand they are supposed to support. Now more and more fence sitters are supporting Proton just because they hate the vitriol coming from Perodua fanboys. Go figure.
Geely Boyue (Proton X70) is the best selling SUV in China. China market >>>>>>>>>>> Mauritius market. Can I also say that Perodua cannot sell at all? lol.
X70 is geely’s car, not proton’s
Neither is Kancil, Rusa, Kenari, Myvi, Viva, Alza, Nautica, Axia, Aruz. So?
It is the only one sub 1.0 litre sedan.
1,500 unit X Rm103K =
At least perodua brings rm105.5million from sri lanka. Proton? Subsidize the foreigner using malaysian tax.. Wth
Bring in Rm105.5million from Sri Lanka but have to give Rm 105.4million back to Japan as royalties. How to cari untung like that? No wonder they secretly beg money from gomen.
What? Come on? Pleasr Logic.. If perodua have to give royalty for toyota for their engine, it is just around 3% to 5% the engine price. Not the price of the car.. 95% parts for bezza are locals bro..
Which makes it even worse!!!! Because each part from Bezza is not locally developed so each part cost need to include royalties back to Japan suppliers. This coupled with whatever profits they have to send all back to Japan, I am not surprised why Perodua have never dared to declare their annual financial statements.
Sri Lanka household income usd 1300 only, Perodua suitable for them.
Sorry but with that income, the regular folk don’t even sniff at Bezza.
Bezza recond anyone?
Normally people in Sri Lanka drive 2.5L. No wonder that p2 leads the sub-1.0 class,as no other manufacturer is offering cars like that.
So Perodua just syiok sendiri to share this news, hahaha
1500 unit sudah consider best seller? lol
Well, their TIV is 2018 is just 13,081 cars…not many
Sri Lanka obviously very much lack choices of new cars….Financial situation also influenced the sales of new cars.
Was RM103 vs. Now RM 86. That means our ringgit are getting weaker and weaker, I wonder how ringgit perform for the next 3-5 years.
