So you’ve seen the new Perodua Bezza in full – both through our comprehensive launch report and via our exclusive live stream – last night, complete with specifications, equipment and pricing. You can go to any Perodua showroom now to check it out, but if you’re too lazy or busy, or are waiting to do so later, you can also join us as we take a closer look at the national carmaker’s first ever sedan in our walk-around video.
Prices start at RM37,300 for the 1.0 Standard G variant, rising up to RM42,800 for the 1.3 Premium X and RM50,800 for this top-of-the-range 1.3 Advance. Automatic models are RM2,000 more expensive variant-to-variant, and the Advance is only available with an automatic transmission.
The Bezza is uncharted territory for Perodua – not only is it its first sedan, it’s also the first car to be designed in-house. It’s based on the Axia (and by extension the Daihatsu Ayla and Toyota Agya), but the whole upper body is unique to this car, and as such, has a design that suits the needs of Malaysian buyers (lots of leg- and shoulder room, big 508 litre boot).
Also new are the engines – the 67 hp/91 Nm 1KR-VE 1.0 litre three-cylinder engine on the base Standard G is based on the one on the Axia, but adds VVT-i. The 94 hp/121 Nm 1NR-VE 1.3 litre four-cylinder engine is all-new and incorporates Dual VVT-i. Transmission choices include a five-speed manual and a four-speed automatic, and all models are capable of over 20 km per litre.
Plenty of kit available too, such as keyless entry, push-button start, a handphone slot with a USB charging port, Mirror Link smartphone screen mirroring on the touchscreen infotainment system, an automatic engine start/stop system, Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) and hill start assist – all firsts for a Perodua.
As usual, you can browse CarBase.my for full specifications, equipment and options on offer. But enough writing – watch the video above to learn everything you need to know about the Perodua Bezza sedan, and sound off in the comments section after the jump. Thanks for watching!

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Habis laa, with a boot space like that surely the taxi drivers in Malaysia will want to ditch their ageing Iswara, Waja & Saga fleet for this Perodua Bezza. Another one up Proton’s arse sadly :(
Tak boleh jugak…if im not mistaken there is requirement by spad all urban taxi must hav 1.5cc engine and above.
Going to agreed with Hafriz say “the real game changer” Proton supporter don’t butthurt ok…
bla3 , new tech this & that
But only gain 1 hp 1 Nm , +1km/l
Lol, very funny like the 1MDB scandal.
Why want to drag my boss into this? Even FBI my boss not scared lah coz supported by Arabs
Apa beza?
Still no VSC across its range
Fetch passengers with an A-segment sedan?
U gotta be kidding me..
Not interested with taxi, kilang, nasi lemak, tea, kuih lapis comments.
Last night, Proton CEO and management all could not sleep. They were all worried sick about the Bezza. Now Proton sales are only 4000 units per month. Last year, Proton old only 100,000 cars. This year, looks like they can only sell 50,000 units.
Proton management is so worried. The RM1.5 billion already finishing. How to ask the Government another RM1.5 billion?
Haha you think they ever worry?
Fully loaded with people and baggage, can the car still move with extra 400kg … downhill maybe la
Hahahaha! Hoping to see them testing this car naik Genting fully loaded in Driven’s future series.
Yes.. when it is tested against Genting.. they will resort back to ‘it is good enough from to travel point A to point B’
Cute and practical car for advance version only.
Dual vvti , automatic engine start stop system ,vsc ,hill assist,bigger leg room than the Mazda 3 ….even Altis don’t have automatic engine start stop,its only 50k ,yes I booked blue colour…
Once you get your car, do a full review of it ok? Thank you
Cheapest 1.0 Axia RM 23k
Cheapest 1.0 Beza RM 37k
Difference RM 14k
That’s too much
I don’t understand
By right it should be less than RM 30k!
Maybe I should change my username to
Greedy P2
The cheapest axia is literally a tin kosong. No alarm, no radio, steel wheel with cap, no abs, etc. The only fair comparison is the Axia G, which is selling at 32k.
Exactly! Look at their fat profit margins!
It is a big let-down in the interior design of Bezza especially the air-con dials and surrounding switches. Looks inferior compared to Myvi and Axia. How come the deterioration? Each new model should look better and not the reverse. The passenger side console looks like a direct copy from Preve piano finished design!
The G and X model comes without the ESC. What a let-down. Perodua should have followed Proton Iriz lead by having ESC across all the models, because it is proven beyond doubt that ESC save lives. Where is Perodua social responsibility?
The Bezza is not cheap. At about 40K, Proton Iriz already have ESC, but only above 50K Bezza offer ESC.
And look at the Bezza back seat, it is so thin. Long distance will be very uncomfortable.
Judging from the response from many readers here, it looks like majority are praising sky high for Perodua.
For those who wants to book Bezza, I advise you to think twice and do your homework first. Don’t just jump into it. Money is hard to come by nowadays.
Perhaps wait until Iriz Sedan and the new Proton Saga is launched. Then do a comparison and test drive all the models. At least by then you will be able to make a better and informed decision. Buy now, you may regret later.
That’s my 2 cents.
I own an axia and i think bezza dial gauge looks nicer than axia.
Sorry lah rakyat no longer wait and believe any crap from Proton anymore.
Bezza all the way. Jimat minyak, kurang rosak, tiada bunyi tikus, kualiti terjamin, tidur malam pun lena.
Caring ,you have made wise comment and advise to the would be buyers.I agree ,that all buyers should do their homework first.
Fair point saying for 40k iriz has ESC and only 50k bezza has esc. then maybe you should compare the 50k iriz with the 50k bezza. seems to me that the bezza is a better choice.
As a consumer, we should boycott any new launched car without ESC. Knowing that ESC save lives yet out of profit driven, they let go their inner conscious.
It is like saying, those who cannot afford to buy above 50K, their lives are not worth protecting.
When the buying stops, the killing will stop!
I agree, we gotta pressure Perodua to give VSC to all.
At the moment, only Advance spec can be considered.
Senior motor journalist, Chips Yap said Perodua reads the internet. So hear us out Perodua, we want VSC for all specs. It can be done, so please do it.
How much rights you have as a consumer is gauge by how deep your pocket is
Perodua is still a business entity not a charity organisation
You want free safety, free food, free education go ask/beg from charity organisation not from a business entity
Its like complaining to Mcdonalds how come their food are only provided to people who can afford to pay because food is a necessity and it should be free
Proton also has no VSC in all their cars. Who can pressurise the RM1.5B sucker? Tun or Najib?
Safe but overpriced car
Toyota / daihatsu off-the-shelf parts / accessories Malaysian brand car, Perodua. Not owned the technologies. Low cost R&D. Kasi murah-murah la sikit.
Buy Bisa! Buy Bisa! Buy from P2! Mari! Mari! Mari! U see! U see! Pipu have confidence in us becoz we have so much confidence in this car that we dun need to test on the road b4 we sell. Our P2 even better than Mesidis, BMW, Hyundai, Honda, and some say Rolls Royce too, cuz all of them no confidence in their new car thats why need to camo test kau kau. We have so much confidence in our jepunis overlords, thats why dun need to test kau like them.
U see us so confident, straight from prototype to showroom. Kalahkan even our big brother toyota. Right now my bos got transfer applications by toyota salesmen Albert and Sammy. U see how confident toyota salesman on our untested car. They willing to ditch their godcar for our untested car.
So I say again, have confidence. Buy Bisa from me and I will intro u my fren from Nirvana. We will gip u best package. Early afterlife adopters will get early bird package, special from me!
Well Done Perdua. Thats one hell of a car. Now Proton can kiss good bye for good.
Thanks Hafis for that walk around… changed my perception on Perdua Bezza !
Bye bye affordable local cars. This is truly game changer (price changer) from affordable to overpriced
Nice walk-around tour :D Good job! Yesterday the showrooms in my area were full of people after launching. Seems like this is gonna be a popular model by affordability.
Tengok je tak beli pun
Civic 9th tailights. Whats with toyota/P2 ciloking hondas tailights? First civic 10, now civic 9.
RM50K for 1.3L car?! better stretch a bit, get almera, city and lower interest, end up u r paying the same amount. my nephews myvi SE already got rattling sound while my cheapo almera dont, despite mileage over 100K km. Please la, quality of P1 and P2 can never catchup with import car.
Almeira…. very2 ugly car of the years
Almera . Cornering . Long distance comfort .
Good job. Next upgrade add in temperature gauge, CVT and 1.5 engine version.
I’m happy to see how much Hafiz has grown since joining the Paultan team. In the beginning, I dislike his presentation, lots of unclear words in his pronunciation. Fast forward to present, I like his presentation as much as Johnathan’s (the one with the Bug).
Agreed! Hafiz now much confident than b4
“So this is not a rebadge car.”
That’s savage coming from Hafriz.
did he mention about regenerative braking????
To provide extra charge battery during deceleration
Only way for Proton to counter is release next gen Saga with Toyota/Honda engines, good spec, safety and no Mitsu crap.
Impressive specs/equipment, especially for the Premium and Advance models. Very good cd factor. Exterior design is OK except for the back, which looks like an oversize lady’s handbag or a bathroom cistern stuck on to the Axia’s rear. It’s practical I suppose but the large boot spoils the design a lot. The shark fin antenna also looks too big for a car this size. And for goodness’ sake, why can’t the Advance model have some soft plastics since it is 50k+? All in all, it is a strong contender in the small car segment.
Salam Hafiz.. This Bezza is not a game changer.. No projector headlamp.. Side mirror still have blindspot compare to iriz..
The only thing that perodua trusted by the customer is because its reliable engine + lightweight body and of course perodua have cheap product such as axia and viva..
Myvi is expensive for small trunk volume compare to persona.. Why people trust perodua because of the reliable engine compare to proton..
And how much perodua pay to paultan to say “Bezza is the real game changer”?
LOL, just because there’s no projector lamp and side mirror blindspot you discredited the Bezza?
You think you’re buying a Rolls Royce? Where everything is perfect?
I can continue to nitpick like you, why no 7 speed gear box, why no turbo, why no 10 air bags, why no auto wiper, why no memory seat, why no cooler box, why no heated seats, why no auto dim mirrors, why no BLIS, why no chair massage and the list can go on
And just because of that 2 small issues that doesn’t suit your own personal taste your’re discrediting Paultan’s writer and insinuating that they are corrupted?
I hope you understand what constitutes a libel or defamation.
i honestly do not understand why would anyone say this car is overpriced. the features provided for a RM50k car is incredible. i believe there’s no other car at RM50k that comes close to offering similar features. heck i think the features of this car is even comparable, if not better, with city, vios and almera.
