Perodua Bezza 1.0 G AT

Verdict

At RM34,580, the Perodua Bezza 1.0 G MT is the rational pick: it is RM2,000 cheaper and returns a rated 4.4 L/100 km against the Perodua Bezza 1.0 G AT’s 4.7 L/100 km. Both have the same 67 hp and 91 Nm 998 cc petrol engine, 508-litre boot, two airbags, ABS/EBD and four-star ASEAN NCAP rating. The RM36,580 AT buys the convenience of its four-speed conventional automatic, not extra performance or safety equipment; its seatbelt reminder covers only the driver, versus both front seats in the MT.

1.0 G MT

Pick the Perodua Bezza 1.0 G MT if RM2,000 savings, a 4.4 L/100 km rated figure and a five-speed manual suit your daily drive.

1.0 G AT

Pick the Perodua Bezza 1.0 G AT if you will pay RM2,000 more for a four-speed conventional automatic rather than shift gears yourself.
