The 2020 Perodua Bezza has been officially launched in Malaysia, with the carmaker expecting to deliver some 5,600 units in January.
Unveiled at Sentul Depot, Sentul West earlier today by Perodua Chairman Tan Sri Asmat Kamaludin, the 2020 Perodua Bezza adds contemporary looks and advanced safety technology to a compact, great-value package that continues to offer fuel efficiency, dependability, space, practicality, ease to drive and low ownership costs.
Priced from RM34,580 to RM49,980, on-the-road before insurance in Peninsular Malaysia, the 2020 Perodua Bezza comes in 1.0 G MT, 1.0 G AT, 1.3 X AT and 1.3 AV AT variants.
“The 2020 Perodua Bezza is the result of our many engagements with our valued customers. The improvements we have made are centred around the ideas of smart design, smart drive and smart safety,” said Perodua President and Chief Executive Officer Dato’ Zainal Abidin Ahmad.
The 2020 Perodua Bezza appears bolder than its predecessor, with sharp LED headlamps that are standard across the board framing an angular and imposing front bumper.
Two-tone side skirts, also standard across the range, join a restyled rear bumper and striking 15-inch 10-spoke alloys (on 1.3 litre variants) for a cohesive and confident look all round.
Two body colours new to the Bezza – Garnet Red (exclusive to 1.3 litre variants) and Granite Grey – join the four existing hues on offer, namely Ivory White, Glittering Silver, Ocean Blue and Sugar Brown.
White-illuminated gauges uplift the interior, while keyless entry and start, as well as front corner sensors, are offered on 1.3 litre variants. All variants get power-adjustable side mirrors and reverse sensors; the AV adds a reverse camera and its side mirrors can retract with the push of a button.
Perodua’s Advanced Safety Assist 2.0 (ASA 2.0*) suite of driver assistance safety systems makes its debut in the Bezza range on the AV variant, making it the most affordable sedan in Malaysia with such a feature.
ASA 2.0 comprises Pedestrian Detection (up to 50 km/h), Pre-Collision Warning (up to 100 km/h), Pre-Collision Braking (up to 80 km/h), Front Departure Alert and Pedal Misoperation Control, all of which work together to mitigate collisions.
Meanwhile, the X variant now gains the Vehicle Stability Control and traction control already previously offered on the AV variant.
“With an upper-body developed completely by Perodua, the original Bezza was our first sedan and Malaysia’s first Energy-Efficient Vehicle (EEV) sedan when it launched in 2016.
To date, some 184,000 units have found Malaysian homes. “We are confident the bolder and smarter 2020 Perodua Bezza will continue to carry the torch – our aim is to sell 4,000 units monthly on average,” Dato’ Zainal said.
