Perodua Bezza

Verdict

At RM100,000, the Seal 6 asks RM65,420 more than the RM34,580 Bezza, but it is a far larger C-segment sedan: 570 mm longer with a 365 mm longer wheelbase. Its 129 hp/220 Nm motor, 56.64 kWh battery and 410 km range bring EV charging into the ownership equation, while the Bezza’s 67 hp 998 cc petrol three-cylinder returns a rated 4.4 L/100 km and has a 36-litre tank. The BYD also gets six airbags, stability control and autonomous braking, but the Bezza’s 508-litre boot beats 460 litres.

Seal 6

Pick the BYD Seal 6 if you want 410 km EV range, substantially more motor output and a much fuller active-safety package.

Bezza

Pick the Perodua Bezza if RM34,580 pricing, a 508-litre boot and straightforward petrol refuelling matter more than performance and equipment.
