Perodua has announced that its new Bezza sedan will be open for booking at all 181 showrooms across the country from this Saturday, July 16. As detailed in both our first drive and initial specification stories earlier today, the car will go on sale in five variant forms, the 1.0L Standard G (manual and auto), the 1.3L Premium X (manual and auto) and the range-topping 1.3 Advance (auto only).
Explaining the name, Perodua president and CEO Datuk Aminar Rashid Salleh said that the new car breaks all conventions when it comes to what is expected from a compact sedan. “The sedan name takes inspiration from the word Beza in Bahasa Malaysia, which means ‘different’. And that is exactly what Perodua’s first EEV sedan is – distinctly different,” he explained.
As for the double ‘Z’ in the name, the company states that this somewhat resembles the number 22, which subtly alludes to how long the automaker has been around. The ‘Beyond Compact’ tagline, meanwhile, is supposed to communicate how the Bezza goes beyond drivers’ expectations of what a Malaysian sedan offers.
Aside from the equipment mentioned in the earlier stories, the Bezza features kit such as a shark fin antenna, remote boot release, one-touch power window with jam protection, front and front corner sensors, a reverse camera and reverse sensors.
A total of six colours will be offered for the Bezza, with two new metallic shades, Sugar Brown and Ocean Blue, being available for the 1.3L variants. These join the existing Lava Red, Ebony Black, Glittering Silver and Solid Ivory White in the exterior colour palette available for the car.
Read our first drive report on the Perodua Bezza, and you can check out the initial specifications of the sedan here.
I am afraid this Perodua Bezza will conquer world carmarket and destroyed the competitions. No more Ford,Mercedes,BME,….
Hope we can get it too in UK.
Perodua Bezza = “Ternyata berjaya”
Proton Saga = “Ternyata gagal”
Proton Persona = “Ternyata merana”
P2 Bisa = “Ternyata Berbisa”
Belum jual lagi dah berjaya?
Dah berjaya hantar org ke awal akhirat
Hopefully Perodua staff are not like Proton staff who fall asleep during office hours and MAS and Perkasa will come and defend them saying it is our culture to sleep during work hours
Will love to see the car selling price… P2 always come-out as the winner. P1 really need a proper management that can improve the quality and services, not just only focus on profiting !
If you don’t want us to sleep, what you want us to do? Kongkek awek at Proton factory?
Just wondering about the car price… Malaysian Rakyat prefer affordable and reliable at the same time.
Kenyataan yg RIAK.
Kereta sedan, berat kurang 1 ton, patutlah boleh jimat minyak. Tapi SAFETY, kurang meyakinkan. Apa berlaku kepada AXIA, tengah drive tetiba stereng locked…hampeh. Aku baru beli AXIA ADVANCE, harap2 taklah terjadi sedemikian. Aku pakai SAGA BLM, WAJA,
Alhamdulillah, mantap,stable dan daya pecutan ketika memotong amat meyakinkan.
Bezza ni tak tahulah berapa nipis metal body. JANGAN PERJUDIKAN SAFETY DENGAN SEDIKIT PERBEZAAN KOS.
Proton saga & Persona no VSC maa.. This Bezza gave VSC at top spec..
This is probably the last straw that broke Potong’s back
Bye bye Potong. Not many will shed a tear in your funeral
How thin is the metal sheet, given it’s a sedan and less than 1 tonne.
Say good luck when collision happens
What you smoking ? Expired weed ?
Are you also afraid of ghosts?

Perodua’s main competitor is mainly Proton.Apart from Proton,HYundai’s lower end models don’t really trouble Perodua.
In Kangarooland,Holden and Toyota have to close shop by early 2017.Why? They cost taxpayers subsidies to almost 2Billion Aussie dollars annually.250,000 jobs affected.
Here,the BAILOUTS/BUYOUTS and PERLINDUNGAN NEVER stops.It is like free flow beers and celebration.
I wont be surprised if GST will go up to bailout Proton next year,if Perodua controls 80 percent of national cars segment.
Proton is so stupid, instead of promoting their cars with proper names, they use bodoh lines.
for example, Iriz Betul betul Onz. OMG OMG!!! What is “ONZ”??????
At least Perodua says “Beyond Compact”…got meaning. But what is ONZ???
Means you turn on the car, hopefully, it can jalan.
Nowadays no need to ask, just google it. When it comes to suprima, pandai pulak google trying to find bad pics.
Topkek.
topkek and john are one person. aiseh john, just use one name lah.
Target market for melayu lah, u takan faham la… Kalau u boleh borak b melayu tu u kan faham la…
After slandering here and there tried to play with GST pulak
lawak sangat sampai semua pelawak tak boleh cari makan

I bash Potong also not to that level.
I admit defeat.
Oh man, why so desperate until pasting lyrics?
Too afraid of P1 1.0l turbo kah?
Kahkahkah
Proton 1.0 turbo? When? Haha!
Still campro & CVT bising Punch Powertrain inside Iriz, Preve, Suprima S, Persona, Exora & Saga. Perdana, I-VTEC Honda Engine maa..
I suggest you go to take medicine.
Ugly POS
Said the Saga owner
Wow… The specifications and gadgets list beats even some european marques (im looking at you volkswagen!)
July 16 2016, the day Toyota Vios and Honda City will live in infamy … and Proton too
UMW, HM, ETCM should just close shop for this weekend. No one will be coming as everyone will be jamming up Perodua showrooms. I’m going too, mana tau got free makan
The fact of the matter Malaysians are getting poor. This is what the general populous can afford and getting excited over. In any other country this car won’t get such “attention or admiration”. They probably get a Cooper or something along that size for better safety and better everything.
A sad fact where the country’s heading to. We are poor that’s why Perodua sells.
You have to thank Proton for that
I tak pergi la…i pergi drb hicom show room
Tengok je, tak beli pun
1.0l turbo saga lagi best!
Betul lah. Aku pun tengok je. Beli? Lain kali jelah. Cos? Safety, meragukan. Metal body, macam tin susu terkini. Terlalu ringan, speed laju sikit macam memandu atas angin. Petrol? Sekarang ni harga petrol pun okey. SAFETY COMES FIRST. FIKIR-FIKIRKANLAH.
Then buy Saga & Persona with no VSC
I have no idea Perodua has won how many rounds vs Proton. This time all Perodua sales persons will busy like hell again..
People of Malaysia please do not worry. As long as Malaysians are paying the heavy taxes imposed by the government, Proton Edar will not close shop. All the workers can sleep during working hours with good paid.
Yeah and when your jepunis overlord gip killing takata airbags you dun bash pulak.
Topkek
john, is that you? exact words used by john
where got P2 having issue with takata airbag.. lol
This is why Perodua is so successful – strong marketing strategy and positioning.
While Proton may offer better driving dynamic and more excitement but in the end, its products never really bring in much volume/demand which translates to their products miss the targeted market, if any. Proton seems to launch products just for the sake of launching new products without really underestanding the market and the sheer competition brought upon them by their competitors.
No doubt Proton always have ambitions (turbo-charged compact engines, export to foreign markets, many and I mean MANY teasers/spyshots) but they promised too much yet delivered too little. They made big claims of “the next game changer” yet they changed nothing.
Like it or not, Proton has become the elephant in the room which has to be addressed sooner or later. For now, there is no shame to learn from Perodua and continue to improve on their products and marketing strategy. In the end, it’s all about doing what’s best for the business – keep customers happy.
Nirvana will be welcoming another 300k occupants. P2 is Nirvana bestest saleperson.
Nirvana will be welcoming old Proton customers like you, not this new car with 5 stars safety
i really dont get why so many sedan in proton production. saga, persona, preve, inspira, perdana and each model hv too many variant.
Not really a lot cuz its segmented alredi.
Saga=A segment,
Persona=B segment,
Preve=C segment,
Inspira=phased out segment,
Perdana=D segment
Saga A segment???. Hahahahhahahahahahhahahahaha lol
Old saga hatch – savvy
Old Persona hatch – gen2
Preve hatch – suprima
Coming persona hatch – Iriz
I know bcoz i’m a Proton salesman ;)
Perodua launched straight away. Unlike tat garbage Proton. Cover up camouflage here and there. Too malu to launch ahh??
I would be worried if I were to book this car.
No testing Wat so ever, voila a new car?
No need testing meh?
If it is tested(read:camouflage) in Japan, then it should be OK. That also explain why no camo bezza here.
In other wors, so it should be OK for proton to have camo because it is tested here in My.
Wished they can offer 6 air bags on the advance option, then this car would be perfect.
Projector LED head lamp with DRLs pls….. add on another 4 airbags…
You asking for more airbags from P2? Hahaha… funny
Saya ingin booking 2018 Proton Saga
Sesekali, ku pun rasa teringin
Congratulations, but don’t stop at one. Book five.
Sel otak tidak bersambung. Patutlah nak beli saga.
Bezza takde turbo, tak best
1.0l turbo lagi best
Ecoboost berapa harga 1 biji? And still using the DSG.
Cari pasal.
You tarak baca ka?
It’s in p1 pipeline, not that unreliable Fiesta
Dream pipe. He meant
1.0 turbo… nanti sales 1 unit saja, u yang beli saja… apa macam?????
Ada turbo best wor, driving effortlessly when your car is full
Yes, turbo bocor is best
Saga is the best, Beza ni mcm amoi bagai, saya tak suka
I want to book 2020 Proton Wira, i know they will relaunch the brand then if company still exist..
Kalau Saga baru betul2 turun ke A segment, ini paling berpatutan harga kerana saiz yang paling besar di dalam segment ini. Tambah juga kalau ESC ada pada semua spec, lebih selamat dari kereta awal akhirat ni.
Sounds like P1 salesman… hutang vendor2 dh bayar lom??..
It’s by far the best equipped in term of safety specifications from Perodua. If it’s priced reasonably, then it would become another best seller from Perodua. One thing I don’t like about our usual auto marketing strategy i.e. opened for booking without even knowing the price of the car.
For 1.3 advance, looks best buy… hopefully p2 offer 1.5L…. add 4 more airbags, led projector hradlight n cvt…
U wont like to price tho..
Saga is doomed and proton in deep sh** now. A. sane one will go for this instead of saga. Not a perfect car but beat saga flat almost in all aspect.your iriz cant challenge the myvi,now your saga is expected to have zero sale.
Saga still looks bigger a bit car…. but from the spy shot looks like body not much changes… so, no wow factor if come out just a facelift…. then it will FAIL!!!!
the best selling Malaysian sedan is here, Proton sales potentially to drop below Nissan
More likely City, Vios, Almera and all Proton sedan sales will be eaten by this. But Proton will hurt way more.
Now Proton, rebadge VW Vento and sell @ rm30k to recapture back the market.
You missed one, first change the DSG to CVT or normal auto
Even myvi sales also maybe effected.. people who owned a myvi may opt for bezza for bigger family..
A bit of nitpicking of as expected well rounded design. The rear looks as if it was extrapolated from the saga (same design consultant, the korean LG) ; the dashboard is too bland, something similar to the 2016 Honda brio amaze would look much more better.
U read my mind.
For me, it seems that p2 need to study more in interior design. Out of proportion dashboard-gear console. Almost vertical rear bench. Not to mention the un-flush side aircon outlets.
Sekali eksiden..semua penumpang arwah.x bace berita dan buat kajian ke?buka la mata sikit.kalau x reti nak buka mata pergi google gambar eksiden P2..
Saga, well the current one I understand la. But the Iriz beats the Myvi in almost every category.Styling, handling, specs, price, safety, engines, technology and etc.Tye only parts which the Myvi beats the Iriz is space, brand and gearbox. The new Persona probably will have the same specs, tech and safety features as the Iriz and will probably beat the Bezza in all those categories.Sadly, Malaysian’s perception towards Proton will make Perodua win the sales round, again.. -RJT-
Wrong, Malaysian shun Proton and support Perodua largely because of Proton forever awful quality as a result of corny protectionism. This single factor has made Proton cars less reliable car and give customers a less pleasant ownership experience compared to Perodua. Most important, Perodua SC value their customers but Proton SC (especially those dealer runned) treat their customer very badly.
Proton weakness are not merely perception. Most accounts of horrible ownership expereince are true and many Perodua owners are ex-Proton owners themselves, they know why they switch brand and no longer support Proton. Once customer confidence is lost, you can’t gain it back by empty slogans and stupid, hollow marketing strategy, which Proton currently is doing. Proton has a painful route to gain back Malaysian confidence, although they had improved in some areas, I’m afraid what they did is not enough and probably too late.
I am one of those who really hoped that the iriz would sell well. The problem is that the iriz is a 95% there product. Superb styling, handling but you have to live with the shoddy gearbox, fuel consumption, small2 idiotic ergonomics (simple ones like clutch pedal force and travel, and the like) and iffy quality controls. Most new proton models feel like its r&d is not completed and rushed into production. Perodua on the other hand feels like a properly designed product, sometimes with bland design (most myvi designs are superb, except the latest ones, and now the bezza). So which one would you choose to live with everyday? Thats why most people will still gravitate to perodua.
Perodua Bisa.
Sekali kena,
mati semua.
Looks like they understand the local market in terms of pricing and specs. Hope the customers win too or … not lose too much.
Customers will lose their life.
What an awful downgrade from the concept. The concept looked fantastic. The mass production look is so sampah.
looks like you don’t understand the concept of ‘concept car’ in car manufacturing field.
Feel like the highspec will cost more then a highspec myvi…
don’t forget bro, high-spec Myvi comes with 1.5L engine but Bezza Advance only 1.3L Axia-based
I see this good car, if can export to India. They like this size of small sedan.
Based on Axia platform with 1.0 and 1.3, it is sitting on Toyota drivetrain and engine plus chassis.
People will still buy it based on Perodua Track record and quality.
I no longer support Proton after i purchased the Proton Preve in 2013. It give me hell a lot of problem ever since. starting from the gearbox
This car is already IN India, it’s called Toyota Etios
Dei, where got same like etios. Interior and exterior both different, bezza is way better. Sure the dimension and wheelbase might be almost similar but it is definitely different car altogether
Perodua used Takata airbags???
im expecting it will be another hot model from P2 just like myvi & axia..those FC almost hybrid level already!..plus VSC,new engine dual vvti..malaysians dont care bout handling in this segment, they only want a car thats good on FC and less problematic with good safety features
Provide the ABS across the range please.
Dont treat the malaysian like a fool.
Long time ago Perodua already treat Malaysian like fool…but still a lot bodoh go to buy.
Cuz we still have blind bashers that support them like sammy and Albert/ Albert Yong/ George Abdul/ Kuntilanak/ RBA john (all same person really).
Jepunis treats asean lives like livestock and we dun persoal them. Instead we persoal P1 that gip better safety throughout the full range. How saddings of MY pipu.
cannot bring out pretty ladies with this car
Married with kids… so…. cannot bring other ladies lah…
ABS already provided across variants. Please know your abc first before blindly commenting.
Realistic marketing, down-to-earth products, reasonable pricing, good reliability. Yes, there are lots of better and desirable models out there, but P2 makes some realistic products – cars that commuters use everyday, in a good reliable manners. I used to own the 1st gen Myvi – great interior space in a clever design. Super duper fast? No, I don’t need that, I need a comfortable car that fit my family well :) for the cyber troopers who keep bashing about cars, please spare a second and justify others’ need, and yours.
Ugly inside out. maybe a good engine though. And yes, this gonna hit Proton really hard !
Not proton….. but most B -segment kosong spec….
also will hit myvi/ iriz
P1 trying to interfere compact car marker via Iris : failure
Now P2 makes a bold move to capitalize sedan market …. we’ll see how it goes ..
Bringing good safety features that protect the driver is a failure u say?so i bet when the driver and passenger died in the car, u will call it as a success huh? I see plenty of Iriz on the road. Please define success from your perspective. Judging by sales of volume?in a business matter, yes. But for consumer benefit, Iriz is much more better than tin milo myvi. Ehh..go search myvi/alza accident la..then you know.
u mean this:
sg.news.yahoo.com/four-cheat-death-myvi-bursts-082858512.html
Dey brother, the industry is definitely driven by dollar and cents. Why would p1 or p2 venture into the business anyway?
Point is, p1 has been a complete failure in managing it’s business plan n strategy, coming up with models that are exclusive to a certain target group resulting in longer period to recoup it’s ROI.
While some may defend p1 as a national pride, majority of us can’t deny the fact p1 is far from producing the outcome it supposed to.
I own both p1 n p2 and quite with them. But let’s be honest, the volume speaks louder than your argument in this forum … p2 performs so much better as a profit-driven company than cash-stripped p1 who requires continuous support from the G.. I know deep down everyone agrees with me
hope P1 can come out with better car…healthy for market
Nothing to proud……. ..dis is only Toyol Ta – Daihat Tu kar through Perod Dua.
P2 / toyota = beautiful box with tyre…. nothing more
Is not really pretty without led DRL headlamps, the rear looks to normal…. just 1.3L spec is best choice… if P2 can offer 1.5L, Led headlamps, 6 airbags, 7 speed cvt…. i buy…
If 1.5L, then not EEV la bro..
if u want1.5L, then take Myvi/Alza better bro..
silly to place booking without knowing the exact spec and price…
Last time people went rage over prevé not-visible-but-u-can-book-anyhow style booking.
Where are those raged people now?
Double standards eh?
