Verdict
These two sedans answer very different Malaysian needs. The BYD Seal 6 uses a 129 hp, 220 Nm rear motor and 56.64 kWh battery for a 410 km EV range, plus a 2,820 mm wheelbase that is 365 mm longer than the Bezza’s. But the Perodua has the larger 508-litre boot, against 460 litres. The Seal 6 makes sense if regular AC or DC charging fits your routine and its extra safety and cabin equipment matter; the Bezza remains the simpler petrol, manual alternative.
Pick the BYD Seal 6 if you can charge regularly and want 410 km of EV range, seven airbags, autonomous braking and a 360-degree camera.
Pick the Perodua Bezza if you want a 508-litre boot, a full-size spare wheel and a straightforward 1.0-litre petrol manual sedan.
