Verdict
The Bezza is the cost-led choice at RM34,580, with RM20 annual road tax, a stated 4.4 L/100 km figure and a slightly larger 508-litre boot. But the S70’s RM59,800 price buys 118 hp and 150 Nm against 67 hp and 91 Nm, plus a CVT, six airbags and stability control. Its 2,627 mm wheelbase is 172 mm longer, while rear air-con vents, a reverse camera and wireless phone mirroring make it the more accommodating daily sedan. The Bezza still makes sense if low purchase and running costs matter most.
The S70 1.5 Prime (RM62,800) sits above every Bezza variant here, so the verdict compares the closest-priced pairing — use the selectors above to match any two trims.
Pick the Perodua Bezza if a RM34,580 entry price, RM20 road tax and a 4.4 L/100 km rated consumption figure matter more than power and equipment.
Pick the Proton S70 if you want 118 hp, 150 Nm, a CVT and substantially stronger safety equipment for the extra outlay.
