Verdict
At RM34,580, the Perodua Bezza costs RM25,220 less than the RM59,800 Proton S70 and returns a rated 4.4 L/100 km. Its 508-litre boot is also 8 litres larger despite the much shorter 4,150 mm body. The S70 is the more substantial car: its 1.5-litre engine makes 118 hp and 150 Nm against the Bezza’s 67 hp and 91 Nm, while an 8-speed CVT replaces the five-speed manual. Six airbags, stability control, blind-spot monitoring and a reverse camera justify much of the gap. The Bezza remains the lower-cost, lighter 930 kg choice; the S70 brings far more equipment and performance.
Pick the Perodua Bezza if you want the RM25,220 saving, a rated 4.4 L/100 km and a 508-litre boot in a 4,150 mm sedan.
Pick the Proton S70 if you want 118 hp, an 8-speed CVT, six airbags and blind-spot monitoring.
