Verdict
At RM36,580, the 1.0-litre Bezza is the sensible entry point, but the RM7,400 step to the RM43,980 1.3-litre changes more than the badge. Its 94 hp and 121 Nm beat 67 hp and 91 Nm, while rated consumption improves from 4.7 to 4.5 L/100 km. Crucially, the dearer car adds stability control and hill start assist. Both retain the same 508-litre boot and four-speed automatic, so choose the cheaper car only if the lower RM20 road tax matters more than stronger performance and safety kit.
Pick the Perodua Bezza if RM36,580 pricing and RM20 annual road tax matter more than extra power, stability control and keyless entry.
Pick the Perodua Bezza if you will pay RM7,400 more for 94 hp, 121 Nm, stability control, hill start assist and keyless push-button starting.
