Well, here’s an interesting bit of hearsay. If that in a research note by an investment bank is to be believed, Perodua is said to be working towards introducing a new sedan this year. According to the RHB Investment Bank report, the model is understood to be a next-gen replacement for the current D63D Bezza, which was launched in 2016 and facelifted in 2020.
Sounds intriguing, but let’s look at how real the suggestion could be. We do know that the national carmaker is due to launch a new full model change (FMC) vehicle this year, and everything so far points to the all-new Axia, with the D74A said to be set for a mid-February Malaysian launch.
This timeline has been reinforced with word from the sales network that dealers are rushing to clear existing Axia stocks, and that no new units would be coming from the factory this month.
Given P2’s usual introduction strategy of launching one FMC and one facelift per year, the likely scenario for 2023 should be the debut of the Axia and the arrival of a facelift, likely that for the Aruz, which is the oldest model in the automaker’s range.
A new Bezza, if it follows the trend adopted for the current model, which is a sedan based on the Axia, should take some time to come about. If you follow the normal cycle, that should be sometime next year, which is a year behind the Axia.
Unless, of course, the new Perodua sedan development is already more advanced than we thought, working along the lines of a Perodua version of the fourth-gen Toyota Vios. Earlier this month, Daihatsu filed patent images of an unnamed sedan, which bears a striking resemblance to the Vios, with Indonesia’s Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DGIP). It was rumoured Perodua had a hand in developing the Vios, so this theory might hold some water.
If an all-new Bezza does appear this year, it will likely be made under the basis of a price increase. Going into 2023, the automaker said it would maintain prices of its models, but a completely fresh model would allow it the ability to redefine pricing.
However, there’s still a long wait list for the Bezza, with high demand from buyers for use as taxis and Grab vehicles, so bringing about a new – and potentially more expensive – car won’t exactly be an easy, straight up affair. As of January 11, the waiting period for a Bezza 1.0 G automatic – for orders made up to December 2022 – could stretch as long as 7.5 months, the shortest being for the 1.0 G manual, at 6.5 months.

Habisla Proton macam ni.
Yes bye bye sayonara to Proton Saga and Proton Persona Lipas.
Kill 2 birds with one stone. Bravo smart move by Perodua.
Confirm 1 million units sales soon!!
Habis La Vios ini macam !!!
While the Vios is offered with smaller engine capacities than what Malaysians are familiar with in other regions, unless Perouda wants to apply a RM10,000+ price jump to the Bezza replacement like they did with the Alza replacement, I highly doubt the fourth-gen Toyota Vios will form the basis of a Bezza replacement. However I’m not ruling out the fourth-gen Toyota Vios joining Perodua’s lineup as a new model.
New Bezza with 1.3L engine.
New Vios with 1.5L engine.
Both follow current price bracket, so no clash each other.
Simply perfect to kill all sedans by Proton n Geli. Kah kah kah.
Daihatsu doesn’t have new 1.3 engine. Toyota also doesn’t have new 1.5 engine. Both will reuse current engine
Does this means that the new generation Vios won’t coming to Malaysia?
Veloz say hi
It depends the decision made by Toyota and Daihatsu, as a parent company of Perodua. Maybe new Vios will come to Malaysia alongside this upcoming Perodua, but in different segment. Or maybe not at all.
The same but different in pricing 1st Toyota Veloz, 2nd Toyota Avanza, 3rd Daihatsu Sigra, 4th Perodua Alza. Now driving 2021 Toyota Calya 1.2G 4A/T MPV rm50K.
1.5L and dnga please, other like eco idle, lka, acc, lousy dashcam..etc no use items please dig out.
I wont be surprised the new basic Bezza 1.3 Auto will hit 50 grand.It will be another grand ripoff for a biasa 1.3 sedan.
Although it could come out looking ugly, it will no doubt be the B40 Type-R “cucuk” car of choice on the highways.. “kereta ni boleh cucuk BMW siot.. pergggh”
What do you expect from B40?
Not this year i think…
It’s coming 2024. They are not stupid by cannibalizing this year’s new model. Unlike some brand that launches 5 models in the same year.
Honda xsaman ke hehe
Sebiji copy H. City, mana acuan Vios nya ??,
Mmg mostly keta Malaysia baik proton or perodua ambek model luar sibiji. Proton ada jga la design sendri sebilangan ja. Perodua mmg mcm hampir full dri daihatshu n toyota. Kita masih level rebranding ja. Klo baju tu copy ory mcm tu ja la
This is what big player always do in automotive industry. So not a big deal lah bila Proton / Perodua pun buat macam ni sama
Perodua not fully rebadged.. because their RnD join together to build new model.. and Myvi Gen3 is not a rebadged model.. but Daihatsu Indonesia rebadged myvi gen3 for Sirion on Indonesian market.. this new Axia also first launch in Malaysia not in Japan or Indonesia.
Agreed..fyi bezza is originally design n make by perodua rnd…their not rebadged daihatsu model bcoz daihatsu dont have sedan model..but for the new model they will appear to share same platform as vios i think..perodua is much better for long using vehicle i think..
Betul bro, perodua almostly copy brand luar..♂️♂️
Hey Perodua, why can’t you just cull Theophilus Chin’s 2017 Myvi Sedan render instead of following the usual Daihatsu rebadging fashion??
Aiyakkk looks like Honda City wannabe.. different design please.. like current Bezza, unique design, ramai suka.
Probably they would again use the new Axia body to make the Bezza again to save money on R&D. The new Axia will be bigger, so I’m seeing a larger Bezza as well. If I’m Perodua, I would do it this year itself before Proton have any plan to replace the Saga. As rumours saying new Vios would be close to 100K, it won’t be a shock if Perodua launch their B-segment sedan at around 70K (this is not Bezza which is an A-segment sedan) based on the Vios and have that RM20K margin again.
So P2 to have 2 sedans then?
Proton cakap sebab lockdown, mereka ketinggalan 2 tahun
proton kereta xberkualiti..rupa pun xcantik..hrp aircond je sejuk.,puiit..
Aunty zeer will start raving about this car. Cheap & most importantly got ACC
Aku memang Tengah tunggu bezza baru ni. Yg ada Features macam alza baru dan myvi baru tu. Safety bezza 2020 dah jauh ketinggalan zaman kalau dibandingkan dgn alza baru dan myvi baru tu. Entah bila nak keluar.
Akan kluar hujung tahun 2023 new bezza with safety system like new myvi and ativa,stering pun akan sama seperti myvi baru..just wait!
yaris ativ 1.2 is bezza?
waiting for some b40 guy buy this b40 car and tell the world in fb group he’s driving terpaling canggih car in the world (lebih cangggih dari ativa). waiting for some b40 guy tell the world why you buy vios if you can get the cheaper copy cat bezza.
Better than pretend T20 buy X70 9yrs loan but cannot afford the Volvo-price spare parts and replace tyres with some Ding Dong or Gajah Tunggal tayar brand.
agree with you. x50, x70 is b40 car anyway. dont even care. bulky and ugly. try to do modi straight led lamp ala2 porsche but still ugly af. but doesnt make bezza better than them. still same level, ugly and “terpaling canggih”.
P2 should designs based on Alza 2023 with shorter height body with proper boot?
Urgly !!!!
Nice car nice soft tin can nice seat sure nipis nipis with many airbag and a prayer needed to drive.
Jgn masalah oil filter berulang dh la…bgi la engine sedap sikit..
% Myvi king welcome to the new era 2023 and the new era of perodua bezza 2023♥️❤️⚘️♥️❤️❤️
Maka bertambah jam lh jalan raya di malaysia..
New sampan.. Haha
Great job, Daihatsu!
Nak pakai buat grab ni, janganlah masukan eco idle, acc etc yg bukan2. Bagi lah reverse camera biasa tak payah 360 and leather seat jika prihatin.
Jommmm..
Kita Ramai2 Book at early bird
Hahahaha design mcm inspired by honda city/civic fanboy
Sebiji Honda city
Ada chance ke Bezza baharu variant yang top-spec nanti guna enjin 1.0L Turbo macam enjin Ativa tu?? That would be nice IMHO
City copy BMW, City say wahaha, BMW say WTF, now Perodua copy City, City boom to the sky.
Semkin mantap semkin maju perodua.ini mcm baru nampak elegant
bak kata org tu, Proton dah setaraf dengan toyota, honda, dll. Perodua bukan saingan proton skrg. Agaknya proton bersaing dari segi harga dan bukan kualiti.
New model bezza
Bezza memang cantik. Cuma 1 jer yang kurang. Tempat duduk belakang kurang se;esa kerana agak tegak. Jika ia diperbaiki rasanya xde apa nak komen dah selepas ni.
heard from the insider said they will adjust the back seat due to many complaints.. but yea the price also will up 5k++
