Perodua Bezza: D63D vs D42L
Verdict
The Perodua Bezza D63D is the newer-generation play here, and at RM33,503 it undercuts the outgoing Perodua Bezza D42L at RM34,580 despite matching it almost line for line. Both are A-segment sedans with five seats, a 998 cc petrol engine, 67 hp, 91 Nm, manual gearbox, front-wheel drive, 4.4 L/100 km fuel economy and a huge 508-litre boot. For a Malaysian buyer chasing low running costs and maximum boot space, the RM1,077 saving is the real separator. Safety is also level: two airbags, 4-star ASEAN NCAP and no AEB.
Pick the Perodua Bezza D63D if you want the newer Bezza generation with the same engine, economy, boot space and safety rating for RM1,077 less.
Pick the Perodua Bezza D42L if you are buying the outgoing car used and the actual deal is cheaper or better equipped than the numbers suggest.
