You’ve heard that the new Perodua Bezza sedan is a five-star ASEAN NCAP rated car. Now it’s official. The New Car Assessment Program for Southeast Asian Countries has released the official crash test results for P2’s first sedan and it’s five stars for the 1.3L Advance variant and four stars for the 1.3L Premium X (MT and AT) and 1.0L Standard G (MT and AT).
The Bezza scored high, achieving 15.38 points out of 16 points in Adult Occupant Protection (AOP). It also did well in Child Occupant Protection (COP) with 85% compliance, a score that gives the model four stars in COP.
However, variants other than the 1.3L Advance will be given the maximum four stars as they do not come standard with dual frontal seatbelt reminders (SBR) and Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), which is an ASEAN NCAP requirement for five stars.
“Perodua has made such tremendous achievements with the production of this new sedan model. It is their first sedan and also the first Perodua to be installed with VSC. Furthermore, it is also Energy Efficient Vehicle (EEV) compliant. With all these excellent features and by gaining five-star ASEAN NCAP rating for variant with VSC, the Bezza will definitely get a competitive edge to other cars within its category,” said ASEAN NCAP chairman, Prof Dr Wong Shaw Voon.
“ASEAN NCAP released the ‘Affordable Safety’ concept back in 2014. In principal, the concept will ensure that even the cheapest car will comply with ASEAN NCAP’s basic requirements. Axia is one example of a four-star car that met this concept. I believe the Bezza has moved further than basic requirements by installing VSC and dual SBR for its higher variant, but still offers an affordable price to the consumers,” added ASEAN NCAP secretary-general, Khairil Anwar Abu Kassim.
Standard safety kit for the Bezza includes dual front airbags, ABS with EBD and Isofix child seat mounts (top tether). The range topping 1.3L Advance adds on the above-mentioned VSC and dual front seatbelt reminders that earned it five stars.
The Bezza will be officially launched on July 21 and is now open for bookings. Prices have just been officially released, from RM37k to RM51k. Read our first drive report.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Maybe I’ll wait for the New Saga 1.5 Auto .. should be cheaper than this
Sticker price may be cheaper but maintenance will contra or maybe cost even more. Think twice. You know the history of P1. You go and ask 10 pipu, at least 9 will tell you not to buy P1, the 1 pipu is probably the luckiest person in the world or P1 salesman themselves who will tell you P1 no problem
Not really, Perodua today wasnt Perodua of yesteryear. Their parts starts failing more often than Proton. And Perodua component is more expensive than Proton. So, dont be stupid I guess
All can slander but can you provide the proof?
Proton already can close shop. Last month only sold 4000 cars. With this from Perodua, you can kiss our RM1.5 billion goodbye.
Please lah Proton, please close shop. Buat malu sahaja. You have sucked over RM20 billion the past 20 years. Those are official figures. Unofficial figures is about RM100 billion cause your No 1 fan was Tun Mahathir. And when he was PM, he used to take billion freely from Petronas with one hand and give it to Proton with the other hand
All unaccounted for and not audited. These are the invisible hands that helped Proton since 1985. No records, no audit and even signed off by the audit houses
Kunta you wanna sell car or your cool story? Badmouthing p1 won’t make this car better lor, it is ady overpriced
Global NCAP sure below 3 star… Asean life is cheaper…
U have a point actually.If someone buying a P2 with assumption that it would be bullet proof like the toyota then they are only fooling themselves. Daihatsu which owns P2 is owned by toyota. But their strategy is very different. Toyota focuses on quality n reliability while daihatsu focuses on budget and low cost. Reliability is no longer Daihatsu’s focus especially for the developing market including Malaysia since they found out that Malaysians prefer cheap product.
After getting 5 stars, I don’t know where the Proton cEO is going to hide his face. The EX CEO lied to the whole world that their Iriz had a super long list of orders and Proton will be doing so well with the super sales of the Iriz.
I hardly see any Iriz on the road…..this is Proton culture. A culture of lies
Perodua Bezza = “Ternyata berjaya”
Proton Saga = “ Ternyata gagal”
Proton Persona = “Ternyata merana ”
ko takder keje lain kah?
itulah kerja dia. perodua upah dia ikut jam kot.
Ya, bayaran lebih lumayan drpd P1
Whatever, the fact is this car is overpriced. A segmenter with weak engine, better go for more powerful one.
I’m jumping ship now. You can wait as long as you want. Soyonara
U ingat ini Titanic ? Ini saiz sampan la… nanti u drown horrifically in icy water too.
Perodua is good, no bullshit. Unlike Proton keep teasing for years. This Bezza only take a month from spyshot to leak to open booking and to launching.
Meanwhile… the crash test result for perdana Mk III is…. oops. Proton haven’t submitted
Perdana will fail the crash test. VSC pun tak ada. How to pass. Maybe get 1 star. But knowing Proton, they will cheat. They will pay angpau to the NCAP officers or bring them GRO to massage their bird. Then the NCAP officers will give Perdana 5 stars.
This is build on Axia chasis ? eerrr… why not on something bigger like the Alza for this price
That’s not how it works. A vehicle’s platform can be tweaked for bigger or smaller cars. Even if they did build a bigger car from a different platform, it will only make it a segment higher and priced accordingly.
Because proton will die even faster. Already now almost into coma state
Because they always sell overpriced cars here
Because you can easily stretch a chassis, the new one are rather modular, like legos. Cutting it down, not so much.
It is funny to see proton executing their WAITING campaign. Wait for saga. Wait for saga. Wah, Lucking i didnt book the other car.
From here you still can tell proton marketing is still managed by the same clowns.
Same clowns who buy Proton manage Proton
This is what people say, menyesal dulu pendapatan. Better hold your horses. Buying can be done anytime.
Iriz 1.3 with VDC at 40k is better than VSCless bezza at same price. You call them clown?
Yes, and you too.
Obviously you dun have brain
I was wrong about P2. May be i should move from P1 to P2
Lol this is Asean NCAP not Euro or Australian
Syukurlah kamu dah insaf kembali ke jalan yang benar
Can we trust the result, since P1 bashers says ASEANNCAP cannot be trusted since dah kena dedak, so we shud not trust this result as well.
Some more P2 never tested their car on the road. How to trust them? Trust salesmen tokok kah?
I dont think we should trust ASEAN NCAP in any sense.
P1 scandal still lively in the internet world, yet P1 Supporters keep saying people’s bash on ASEAN NCAP… Pity to the P1 owners that trust you !
U din read properly. I fully support what u said b4. Since we cannot belip ASEAN NCAP result for P1, so we shudnt belip the same result for P2 lah.
Proton stopped paying you already?
Like Sam Loo said Perodua also pay money to AseanNCAP to get 5 stars.
Be aware that TAKATA air bags, think twice folks.
Who told you that takata airbag only affect toyota and perodua? It’s a worldwide recall, please talk about actual facts or go back to your primary school.
Whois is Sam Loo ? Samy Veloo you mean
Kudos Perodua, killed Proton with just a sedan. Not even Saga can achieve 5 stars ANCAP. Someday we will see Mahathir in tears cause Proton is in the grave.
Iriz got 5 star lor
Despite having a Tapau Hook, consumers that value safety should not let P2 off the hook that the dual SBR is omitted. Seriously, how much would that simple reminder buzzer cost vs the lives of errant front seat people who do not buckle up. This is why Eu mandates the annoying buzzer to save lives. No one likes it, but at least they will live to complaint about the buzzer after a crash. Cars can be cheap, lives shouldn’t. Use the budget for the ‘look at me’ eco sticker and put it to the SBR please.
Respect. I’m curious what the new New Saga will bring to the game. Next up should be side impact protection and VSC on all cars… just drop the alloy rims and install VSC instead… and while you’re at it, the hill start assist should be fitted to the manual cars at least. There it’s really useful. On an automatic car it isn’t necessary… just put into D, and the car won’t roll backwards.
Perodua give chance to Proton to earn some sales for Saga and Perodua.
If all those feature made standard across all Bezza variants later Proton close shop sold off factory then how?
Appreciate a bit lah your rival willing to give face knowing that it was Proton historically that always trying to piss Perodua with Tiara, Savvy, Iriz but luckily failed spectacularly until the stupid secret deal embargo finally lifted allowing Perodua to produce own sedan and defeat Proton in its own game.
So now let’s enjoy the show Proton inevitable demise and extinction much to the joy and relief for the rest of rakyat. Happy Doomsday to Proton! Rest In Pain R.I.P!!!
You are really late in technology advancement. Cars nowadays have really low idle speed. As low as 600 rpm. This can be Toyota, nissan or VW. It is because of emission control. With rpm so low, the car will roll back even at small gradient. Different cars use different method. Most Europe cars using electric parking brake to activate. Jaguar uses a mechanism in the gearbox to prevent the car rolling backwards.
There is definitely something not right here. Only 2 airbag can get 5 star. Proton must be damn stupid to offer more airbags in Iriz to achieve 5 star. As a consumer, Asean NCAP has lost their credibility as this clearly shows it can be manipulated.
All Iriz variants got 5 star. Proof that youre pretty ignorant. Smart comment though, but youre not.
The difference between 4 star and 5 is just VSC / ESC. Airbags will help in occupant protection score.
Syabas P2
The rating speaks louder. Whats up with the silence p1 fan? No jibe on p2-milo-tin, no more. Haha
You have to understand, since Proton had spent so much money to buy camo stickers to tease all their shitty sedans for months, they ran out of money to pay all the P1 fanboys to comment here.
Search at google, “pemandu preve mati” vs “pemandu myvi mati”. The results will speak for itself.
This test cant really translate to real world condition.
P1 has more HPF parts than jepunis rivals hence better safety. Remember when the T-boned Preve?
Just 2 airbags but can get 5 stars ancap? Hmmm..something doesnt look right here.
Asalkan top-tether tidak sengaja cabut balik.
Masa eksiden, airbags lagi berguna bagi orang bujang dari top tether
Belajar scoring system NCAP ye.
Beza utk 4 star dan 5 star cuma ESP.
Adult occupant protection dan child occupant protection mempunyai skop pemarkahan berbeza.
is it that hard for manufacturers to incorporate SBR and VSC? Its a mandatory feature for other countries already.
one move one kick. typical. that’s why no improvement. can’t they just think for the future.
I love the L shape rear passenger seat, it will be good for back ache and teach kids to sit upright
Jepunis says safety is only for those who can afford it, not for poor MY pipu. Our lives r like livestock and we support them and dun persoal them.
Proton you heard that. Please wake up from your dream la. Malaysians want Japanese technology and reliability, smoothness and power in their cars. Proton cars sucks!!!!
Power? OMG obviously you never drive turbo car
Plotong sure in big trouble.. Thanks to Toyota for the 5 star rating
I find it hypocritical when, despite what ever ruling for safety driving, yet important safety features are set by standard class of the car you are buying, example: lower spect with 4 airbag and higher spect with 6 airbag. One can argue about affordability or car build for instant,but should safety be the 1st priority? It should be a standard of any Malaysian or imported car alike to have full safety feature without separation on grade or segment class. This has nothing to do with the original article but again perhaps its something to ponder about.
Yes. Because adding more equipment means higher car price. It’s that simple
Then why Iriz 1.3l with VDC is cheaper?
Why cars in Langkawi are cheaper?
Adding more equipment on the same car lah bodoh. Not to other cars. So if base spec bezza is 37k, u add equipment of course become more expensive. Simple logic.
Perodua guna airbag dari local vendor autoliv hirotaka lahh…
Takatak takatak takatak lol
john, u talk banyak n u sound just like a keyboard warrior. get a real life la. geez.
Just bcoz I highlight that makers shud test to ensure safety, reliability & durability b4 gip to consumers, but u on the other hand, just trust whatever the jepunis says?
Well TaKata I din warn u, yeah.
In Toyota article, you said no need to test so much, now you said need to test? What are you? Two headed snake?
There are 2 johns, you must be a newbie
There is only 1 but he make it look like 2 to confuse you
john is a piece of garbage like proton
welldone p2
With this Japanese quality beauty launched, Proton sales will drop from 5000 a month to just 800 a month. One Bezza model alone has twice the monthly sales of the entire Proton fleet. Shame on you Proton = The lousiest car manufacturer in the world and everyone agrees
Lame comment
Much more safer than the junk Iriz. Price same as iriz but Bezza is 3 times better
Pompuan sembang psl kete… kete belum ade atas jln dh judge kete bezza bagus kete proton teruk. Aku pkai inspira 4 thn senyum je. Xde major problem.
Aku pakai Inspira 5 tahun gak, lenyek abih and still go strong. Ok la itu kete Jepun but rigidly follow maintenance di Potong 5S still drive ok.
Price is more expensive than Iriz lor, but the quality is still in question.
I did not study the ANCAP for other car, but from the photo, is this normal for the tyre to “crush” inside towards to the driver? Driver’s leg still no impact? I think the shorter engine bay area have disadvantage as the crash will direct reach to tyre room…
Yes. It is normal. As long as the front doors can be opened (either the driver walk away no injuries or paramedics to enter car for rescue operation).
All the bashing of P1 and P2 and missing the point. How come ASEANCAP gave 5 stars for cars with 2 airbags? That also include for Iriz. Its my opinion that the lowest spec should be used for benchmarking thus both these cars should be awarded with 4 stars. “Malaysian Life Matters!”
2 airbag also can get 5 star?
how about car with 6 airbag?
Dua-dua bashers stupid!!.. yang kaya cukong2 taukey Proton & Perodua.. kita dapat bayar hutang shaja.. LOL
