Its sporty design and comfortable seats make it appealing for those who want a bit of style without breaking the bank.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Saga offers solid handling and a stable drive. Powered by a 1.3L engine with manual or 4AT options, it balances comfort with simplicity. Boot space is smaller at 420L, and fuel efficiency averages 14-16 km\/l. While safety is basic, it covers the essentials. The Saga suits buyers who want a low entry price and a more planted feel on the road.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Perodua Bezza &#8211; Efficiency and practicality in one package<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/carro.co\/_next\/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.carro.co%2Ftr%3Aar-16-9%2Cw-1920%2Cpr-true%2Cf-webp%2Cq-50%2F2025%2F09%2FInventory%2F246292813%2F2022-perodua-bezza-av-1.3-at-V9G6QK8EPN-mytukar-014.jpeg&amp;w=3840&amp;q=75\" alt=\"Car Media Image\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interested in this car?

Its biggest highlight is the fuel economy &#8211; the 1.0L engine variant can deliver more than 20 km\/l, making it one of the most efficient sedans on the market. There\u2019s also a 1.3L option for those who want a bit more power.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 508L boot is among the biggest in its class, making it a favourite for families and Grab drivers. Higher trims come with ASA safety features like AEB and collision warning. Combined with low maintenance and strong resale value, the Bezza appeals to those who prioritise long-term savings and practicality.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Proton Saga vs Perodua Bezza at a glance<\/b><\/h2>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Category<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Proton Saga<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Perodua Bezza<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Price<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lower starting price, very budget-friendly<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Slightly higher, but still affordable<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Design &amp; comfort<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sporty design, comfy seats, smaller boot (420L)<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Practical design, bigger boot (508L), spacious rear<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Engine options<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1.3L with 4AT\/manual, stable &amp; smooth ride<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1.0L &amp; 1.3L, lighter feel, tuned for efficiency<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fuel efficiency<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avg. 14-16 km\/l<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Excellent, up to 20+ km\/l (1.0L)<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Safety features<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ABS, EBD, ESC (higher trims)<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ABS, EBD, ESC + ASA (AEB, collision warning)<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maintenance<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Improved but slightly higher costs<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lower maintenance, excellent after-sales<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Resale value<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fair resale value<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stronger resale value<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2><b>Fuel efficiency &amp; running costs<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Bezza<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is well-known for excellent fuel efficiency, especially the 1.0L variant.

The 1.0L variant is one of the most fuel-efficient sedans in Malaysia, making it ideal for daily commuting, city driving, and e-hailing (Grab, inDrive, etc.). You\u2019ll save significantly on petrol over the long term, and with Perodua\u2019s reputation for low-cost servicing, it\u2019s a wallet-friendly option in the long run.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>If you value driving stability and comfort<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/carro.co\/my\/en\/buy\/proton\/saga\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Proton Saga<\/a> definitely stands out in this area. Its wider body gives rear passengers more shoulder room, while the suspension tuning makes it feel more planted on highways. If you often drive long distances, carry passengers on road trips, or simply prefer a heavier, more stable ride, the Saga Premium is the better match.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the end, both models excel in different ways.
