Perodua Aruz vs Perodua Bezza Comparison

For a seven-seater compact MUVs which are usually styled conservatively, the Perodua Aruz looks very striking. The various styling cues like angular front fascia and rear profile machined alloy wheels, roof rails, and high ground clearance and some factors which are clearly inspired by that of a modern compact SUV, which makes it look quite rugged and very modern at the same time.

The seven seating configuration of the Perodua Aruz makes it one of the most flexible and practical cars of today’s time. The second and third row have multiple seating adjustments, which make it very convenient to ferry people and luggage at the same time,  which is not possible in a similarly priced five-seater compact SUV.

The current form of the Perodua Bezza was introduced in 2020 – almost five years ago. This particular version itself is a mild facelifted version of the original car that debuted in 2016. That makes the Perodua Bezza almost a nine-year-old car with minimal design changes, and that age has now begun to show up.

The front profile of the Perodua Bezza looks pretty basic, with the sedan getting a sleek hexagonal grille with a glossy black and silver finish in G variants and a glossy black and chrome finish in the X and AV variants. The trapezoidal headlamps attached to the sides of the front grille have an all-LED arrangement as standard. The X and AV variants also get rounded halogen fog lamps within the inverted L-shaped black housings on the corners of the front bumper. 

The Perodua Bezza looks simple even from the side, where the sedan gets dual-tone side skirtings and chrome-finished door handles as standard. The rearview mirrors of the sedan come integrated with turn indicators and have electrical adjustability, while they also feature electrical foldability in the AV AT variant. While the G MT and G AT variants have 14-inch silver alloy wheels, the X AT and AV AT variants have 15-inch machined alloy wheels.

At the back, the simple-looking rear profile of the Perodua Bezza has trapezoidal tail lamps with LED inserts on the sides of the trapezoidal boot lid, which has a sleek chrome bar running across its width above the license plate housing. The Bezza is available in six colour schemes – Garnet Red, Granite Grey, Sugar Brown, Ocean Blue, Glittering Silver and Ivory White. 

Pros and cons:

Pro: Alloy wheels are offered as standard

Cons: Overall design language now feels dated
