Perodua Bezza
|
Proton Persona
|
Despite being an entry-level compact sedan, the Perodua Bezza offers exceptional space levels, which are comparable to sedans from one segment above. The rear seat of the cabin is quite spacious, with excellent legroom, knee room and shoulder room for three full-sized adults. At the same time, the boot space offered by the Perodua Bezza too is best in its segment.
The Perodua Bezza is offered with both the options of 1.0-litre and 1.3-litre petrol, both of which provide best-in-class fuel efficiency figures. The manual, as well as automatic variants in both the engines, deliver class-leading fuel economies of over 21kmpl, which is quite exceptional for a sedan of this class.
For a compact sedan, the overall driving feel of the Perodua Bezza is quite convenient. The turning radius is lowest in the segment and coupling up with soft steering and suspension setup, the Bezza feels very light and easy to drive while tackling daily traffic conditions.
For an entry-level sedan, the Proton Persona looks quite smart with a flowing design which looks very youthful. The curvy layout of headlamps, as well as tail lamps, do make the Proton Persona feel a car from the current generation, which is something which other entry-level sedans do lack due to cost-cutting.
Another praiseworthy aspect for an entry-level sedan like the Proton Persona is the amount of safety features it is packed with. The Proton Persona is equipped with all the bells and whistles in this arena, like six airbags, ABS with EBD, traction control, vehicle stability control, and front and rear parking sensors, which make the car feel safe and secure.
While the engines are exceptional in their purpose of delivering brilliant fuel economies, the small size of the engines also results in slightly lower performance outputs. Due to this reason, both the engines are not as exciting in their performance levels and driveability doesn’t inspire much of fun factor, which makes it quite dull to drive.
The Perodua Bezza is purely for those who prefer function over form, which is quite evident from the way it has been styled in and out. The overall exterior look of the Bezza is quite bland by today’s standards. At the same time, the interior cabin of the car, which is decently loaded with comfort and convenience features, is not as modern and delightful as one would expect from a car of this class.
While the exterior design of the Proton Persona feels youthful, the in-cabin experience is not all that premium, thanks to a very sober-looking cabin design as well as pared-down build quality. Also, there are a number of crucial features which have been put up in their very basic forms, like the headlamps which miss out on LEDs or projectors or lack of a modern automatic climate control system.
The headlamps have a very nice design, however, the visibility of the throw from them during dark conditions is not too good as compared to that of other cars in this category.
