Perodua Bezza wins three awards at the Malaysia Car of the Year 2016

The Perodua Bezza compact sedan won three awards at the Malaysia Automotive Institute (MAI) Malaysia Car of the Year 2016 awards recently. It won the Car of the Year 2016 award for the Entry Level category for the Bezza 1.3 Advanced, People’s Choice 2016 for the Bezza 1.3 Advanced and the Most Significant Design Achievement for the Perodua Bezza (overall design).


Quite reasonable and deserving I must say. The Bezza Advanced is the Bezza variant that is packed with safety and other features. It comes with a reasonable price and is also ASEAN NCAP approved. It is a sedan, which is a body type that Malaysians love to buy and it is packed with features. Malaysians love features even though some may not used them. This is also why the Bezza Advanced won the People's Choice award too. The correct price for a car that looks modern with a lot of equipment. 

As for Most Significant Design Achievement, I believe that the Bezza Sedan is a significant milestone for the Malaysian automotive industry as a whole. I mean it is the first sedan designed by Perodua. If that isn't significant I don't know what is.

Congratulations to Perodua for what they have won and what they have achieved with the BEZZA.
