Nissan Almera vs Perodua Bezza
Verdict
The Nissan Almera is the larger, stronger and costlier sedan: 99 hp and 152 Nm give it a clear shove over the Perodua Bezza’s 67 hp and 91 Nm, and its CVT also suits traffic better than the Bezza’s manual. But the Bezza fights back hard for running-cost buyers, using 4.4 L/100 km against 5.4 L/100 km and carrying 508 litres in the boot despite its smaller A-segment footprint. The RM49,308 gap is huge, so the Almera must justify itself on size, power and AEB.
Pick the Nissan Almera if you want the bigger B-segment sedan, the stronger 99 hp/152 Nm engine, CVT automatic drive and auto emergency braking.
Pick the Perodua Bezza if you want the much cheaper sedan, lower 4.4 L/100 km fuel use and the larger 508-litre boot.
