Perodua Bezza 2018 Review

The Perodua Bezza, introduced in 2016, is the first sedan model from the Malaysian automaker Perodua. As of 2018, the Bezza is still in its first generation. It’s a compact sedan known for its affordability, fuel efficiency, and practical design, making it an appealing choice in markets like Sri Lanka where these traits are highly valued.

Exterior Design

The 2018 Bezza features a simple and functional design with a compact profile. The ground clearance is approximately 160-165mm, which is decent for a car in its class, allowing it to handle urban roads and moderate rough patches commonly found in Sri Lanka.

Interior Design

Inside, the Bezza offers a straightforward and practical cabin. It’s designed to maximize space within the compact dimensions of the car. The boot space is surprisingly generous for a vehicle of its size, offering about 508 liters, which is ample for daily use and sufficient for longer trips.

Performance

The Bezza typically comes with either a 1.0-liter or a 1.3-liter engine. These engines provide adequate power for city driving and are particularly noted for their fuel efficiency, an important factor in the Sri Lankan market.

Ride Quality

The ride quality is acceptable for a budget-friendly compact sedan. It’s well-suited for city driving, with a suspension tuned for comfort over performance. However, the ride can be a bit firm, and road noise may be noticeable at higher speeds.

Safety & Technology

Safety features in the Bezza include dual airbags and ABS, which are standard. Technology-wise, it comes with basic features like a radio and USB connectivity, focusing on practicality rather than luxury.
