Perodua Axia vs Perodua Bezza
Verdict
This is a very Perodua kind of decision: same 998 cc petrol engine, same 67 hp and 91 Nm, same five seats, but very different packaging. The Perodua Axia costs RM38,600 and gets a CVT automatic, a wider body and a longer 2,525 mm wheelbase. The Perodua Bezza is RM4,020 cheaper at RM34,580, has a manual gearbox and a huge 508-litre boot. For Malaysian buyers, the Axia is the easier city hatch; the Bezza is the cheaper, luggage-first sedan.
Pick the Perodua Axia if you want the CVT automatic, hatchback size and longer 2,525 mm wheelbase over boot space.
Pick the Perodua Bezza if you want the lower RM34,580 price, sedan boot and manual gearbox.
