Perodua recently released the updated 2020 Beza, and everyone's urgent need is simple-should I choose the new Beza or the same new proton legend?

Fuel efficiency-Beza is king, naturally

Since its launch in 2016, Perodua Beza has consolidated its fuel efficiency capability with its light body, gas-guzzling engine and smooth aerodynamics.

According to Perodua, Bezza 1.0 returns 4.4 l /100 km (22.8 km/l) for manual variants and 4.7 l /100 km (21.3 km/l) for automatic variants.

For the larger 1.3-liter engine, the power of this engine is 4.5 liters /100 kilometers (22 kilometers/liter).

On the other hand, the updated Proton Legend is equipped with a new modern 4-speed automatic transmission, which can only return 6.7 liters /100 kilometers (14.9 kilometers/liter).

It's a big boot for everyone-Beza still conquers 

Although manufactured on Axia's platform (A-stage hatchback), its luggage space of 508 liters is 88 liters more than that of Saga (420 liters).

Safety features are comparable to those of some more expensive cars-ASA 2.0 keeps Bezza in the top 

Perodua's Advanced Safety Assistance 2.0 (ASA 2.0) is included in the top Bezza 1.3 AV AT, which means it is the cheapest car in Malaysia to provide this function.

On the other hand, the updated proton legend lacks ADAS characteristics.

Having said that, the updated Saga now includes the range of anti-lock braking system and electronic braking system, while the 1.3 advanced variant adds stability control.

Riding and handling separate them-Saga's paw back 

Saga began to win some impression points because of its ride and control compared with Beza-the ride is comfortable enough to absorb bad roads, and the control is several miles ahead of Beza.

Bezza's tall and narrow body means that it may become quite tense on the highway, and its suspension adjustment still lags behind Saga.

Beautiful appearance is not everything, comfort is also very important-legend dominates everything

For those who sit in the back seat of Perodua Beza, they understand the definition of poor comfort-the seat is too straight, and the suspension system cannot eliminate the bad road conditions well.

However, in the new Bezari, Perodua installed a new backrest with a better angle to improve the comfort.

But thanks to Proton's expertise, this legendary car offers better ride comfort than Beza.

Saga's new seat is scratch-resistant and waterproof, and provides better comfort than Beza.

But wait, there is-Beza's steering column is fixed! One hundred and eleven

No, really.

Just like Axia (plus Viva and Kancil before), Bezza's steering column is fixed-there is no extension or height adjustment, which makes it difficult to enter a comfortable driving position.

Saga redeems himself here because it provides height (or tilt) adjustment.

If you like music, Legend is much better

For those of us who can't live without tunes, try the updated Saga; You'll be surprised how good the stock sound system is.

The updated Saga is also equipped with a floating head unit, which makes this small car attractive at high end.

Perrodua Beza's sound quality, like its handling, is nothing to make a fuss about.

Decide the winner-both are good cars, but … 

The price of the new Perrodua Beza ranges from 90 ringgit to 2,190 ringgit, depending on different models.

Therefore, the price of top-level Bezza 1.3 audio and video is now 49,980 ringgit, which is 10,180 ringgit higher than top-level Saga 1.3 premium edition.

The price of Bezza 1.3 AV also makes it very close to Myvi 1.5 H, which is a larger B-section hatchback with more functions, including 6 airbags.

That is to say, it is difficult to prove that the price tag of Bezza 1.3 AV is reasonable unless you really want an ASA 2.0 A-segment sedan.

On the contrary, we think you should spend your money on Bezza 1.3 X (the price starts from 43,980 ringgit), because this car has everything that 1.3 video has, but it does not have ASA 2.0, reversing camera and Perodua's ecological idle speed (idle stop system).

Nevertheless, it still has vital stability control, double airbags and impressive fuel consumption data of 4.8 liters /100 kilometers.

It comes down to what you need in the car.

If you are a taxi driver or travel frequently in the city, it is a better choice to go to the open square.

But if you spend a lot of time on the highway, Saga is much better.
