It looks like the Perodua Bezza, which has been around since 2016, is getting a mid-life facelift, and given that examples of the refresh have been spotted on transporters heading out of Rawang in a number of sightings, it looks like it won’t be much longer before the sedan makes its official appearance.
Reader Ahmad Mukhlis sent in a set of spyshots, and the car has also been sighted in a separate set of photos posted on local site Car-Ideologi, and a number of exterior changes are clearly evident. There’s a new front bumper, the lines in the rakish design reminiscent of that seen on the Bezza concept from 2010, and the rear bumper has also been revised, now featuring faux vent cutouts and a diffuser in the same vein as that on the Myvi and facelifted Axia.
Elsewhere, expect the Bezza to get the same treatment as that given to the Axia facelift – this means ESP on more variants and the addition of ASA 2.0 on the range-topping version. We may also see changes to the rear back rest angle too.
The Bezza was given a mild update in 2017, less than a year after its debut. At that point, there was only one exterior change alongside some interior aesthetic changes, and this was an addition of a deeper skirt on the rear bumper to cover more of the underside of the car – the new bumper on the facelift looks to be a further improvement of this.
There should be no changes to the engine options or output – presently, the Bezza is available in 1.0 litre and 1.3 litre versions, paired with a five-speed manual gearbox or four-speed automatic transmission. In the Bezza application, the 1KR-VE 1.0 litre three-cylinder VVT-i engine develops 67 hp at 6,000 rpm and 91 Nm at 4,400 rpm, while the 1NR-VE 1.3 litre mill offers 94 hp at 6,000 rpm and 121 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm.

Are those LED headlights?
This game changing sedan will completely wiped out Saga sales.. Habislah Saga game over!
This new game changing Bezza comes with new features such as LED headlights, more safety features and new stylish design. This will for sure game the Saga over as the Saga still comes with halogen headlight, boring design and lack of safety features
2020 will be a tough year for Proton indeed. When people saw this news, they will for sure cancel their plan to book Persona and Saga next year and book the game changing Bezza FL instead. People trust in Perodua quality and SC
Proton need to learn from their closest rival Perodua how to facelift a car. Proton recent facelifted cars (PIES) are all game over because of boring and outdated design. Only their Chinese rebadged X70 have up to date design
Lol proton saga latest design is mile away better than ugly bezza with stupid rear bumper so hight to the sky and boxy shape with generic headlamp that look like unfinished render … this so cal facelift just trying hard to hide the ugly back by adding those diffuser for no reason lol
Proton sales already kaput. They are living solely on China’s invention, the Boyue.
Proton is just a shameful company living on the benefits of China and Geely
Tak payah fikir, taknak pening. beli je Bezzaa
Kalau tak pikir sekarang, kalau tak pening sekarang, nanti dah beli bezza, hari-hari pening dan pikir kenapa la beli bezza dan bukan persona.
CH-R-esque bumper
Because of the good sales of SAGA in past 3 months, BEZZA sales were under pressure, so Perodua quickly facelifted with old stocks.
Proton should learn Perodua strategy, don’t give rival a chance to be ahead, fight back as soon as sales fall short.
Oh mai…kataxxx bawah tempurung still not satisfiy p1 ody beaten badly by p2. Still noisy noisy here to show off his denial n ignorance attitude. Still cant accept tat bezza sales is alot better than saga. Oh mai. Saga baru capai sales 3k sudah riuh sekampung. Bezza average sales 4k+ every month no bising. Take last year bezza sales 49,911 / 12months equal 4,159 a month. While saga baru naik 3k last few months jer sudah riuh sekampung. Patut pun kataxxx bising2 bawah tempurung. Otaxxx fikir dlm tempurung saja. Oh mai.
I know overall Bezza sales more than Saga but I mentioned here is past 3 months Saga is better than Bezza. U ni bra top tak erti data jualan kereta, jangan cemburu sgt Saga jual lebih Bezza dlm bulan September, October dan November.
The best frog under the drain.
Only frog people likes frog cars such as Beza.
Is that a Bezza Type R? LoL
Reduce the price a bit, or not people would still go for a 1.6L persona compared to this 1L tin. More value for money
Ask the Grab driver if they want a CampXpro Perosna 1.6CVT which drink fuel like no tomorrow for KL city drive.
I think I’ll wait for the second gen, hoping they make it a bit wider.
there is T.Vios and City for you.
here goes the bumper engineering company berukdua again
And still no bloody temperature gauge. It shows that our automotive engineer truly a ‘belacan mangkuk hayun’ that have zero capabilities – simple thing don’t know how to do.
Front looks better than the current one though. Love it

Habislah saga!
So many ways to design a car. This is how to make is ugly. But I think it adds 10 bHP base on my butt dyno
I must admit, the new Perodua Bezza FL design is indeed very good looking instead of the previous design. So when this game changing sedan with better design starts selling, then nangislah Saga! Proton Saga will be game over soon…
Don’t know already what will happen to Saga FL if this game changing Sedan with better look launch next year. I can predict that the Bezza FL will for sure game the Saga and Persona over as Bezza now comes with handsome design
They need more than just a new front and rear bumpers as Saga is scalping it by its hide. They can no longer hold back a resurgent Proton.
Definitely pick this over Persona, because this is a better highway cruiser with the insensitive steering, Persona steering too direct means one small mistake then whole car kena buang to parit like the other x70
If you go fast on highways, you will want your steering to be sensitive la. Or else, when your car loses control as what Perodua cars usually does at high speeds, your numb steering won’t allow you to countersteer to safety. Do you prefer to have better steering feel or end in a ravine?
Habislah Persona, even after the persona facelift, the bezza is still the top seller in its segment, this new bezza proves further that persona will be game over with the old style bumper, proton must start to act faster to release persona with more stylish bumpers and skirtings like peroduas because that’s the way to improve sales, GEAR UP your way to GAYA-NESS!!
Persona rivals are City, Vios, Almera & 3.
Truly the real game changer!
Perodua..
1.design please jangan kurus cekeding sangat.We do hope that upgrade ke enjin 1.5, more wider please and rim size 15″.
2. The current price is like current basic persona auto, or reduce the price to make more competitive with new saga.
Hope will get 1.5engine…
You buy a car based on bumper? Proton always have better handling. Persona is cheap and its a driver’s car.
Eh Viva elite rims sia ..
