Verdict
The Perodua Bezza D42L is the more complete buy if the RM1,077 gap matters less than day-to-day equipment: it adds collision warning, LED reflector headlamps, front foglamps, Bluetooth, two front parking sensors and a height-adjustable driver’s seat. The Perodua Bezza D63D counters with the same 998 cc, 67 hp and 91 Nm outputs, the same 4.4 L/100 km rating, and a useful 65 kg weight advantage at 865 kg. Pick the D63D for the lower entry cost; pick the D42L for its longer equipment list.
Pick the Perodua Bezza D63D if you want the RM1,077 lower price, 865 kg kerb weight and a four-cylinder layout without giving up the same quoted power, economy or 508-litre boot.
Pick the Perodua Bezza D42L if collision warning, LED headlamps, front parking sensors, Bluetooth and driver’s seat height adjustment are worth paying extra for.
