Verdict
The RM35,419 gap between the RM34,580 Bezza and RM69,999 QV-E buys a fundamentally different car: the EV has a 201 hp, 285 Nm motor, 370 km range and six airbags, against the Bezza’s 67 hp, 91 Nm petrol engine and two airbags. It also adds active safety and a 2,680 mm wheelbase. But the Bezza is far lighter on the wallet, returns a rated 4.4 L/100 km and carries 508 litres in its boot. The QV-E’s listed RM215 monthly BaaS battery rental for nine years needs factoring into the EV budget.
Pick the Perodua Bezza if low purchase cost, RM20 annual road tax and a 508-litre boot matter more than outright performance and driver assistance.
Pick the Perodua QV-E if you want 201 hp EV performance, a 370 km claimed range, substantially stronger safety equipment and modern cabin technology.
