Verdict
The Bezza is the rational low-cost sedan: its 508-litre boot is 188 litres larger, it weighs 930 kg and its annual road tax is RM20. The QV-E changes the brief with a 201-hp, 285-Nm motor, a 52.5-kWh battery and 370 km of range, reaching 100 km/h in 7.5 seconds. It is also 180 mm wider and rides on a 225 mm longer wheelbase, but its 320-litre boot is smaller. The RM35,419 purchase-price gap buys much stronger performance, far more active safety and EV charging capability, while the QV-E's BaaS rental is RM215 monthly for nine years.
Pick the Perodua Bezza if a 508-litre boot, RM20 annual road tax and the lower purchase price matter more than performance and driver assistance.
Pick the Perodua QV-E if you want 370 km of electric range, 201 hp and six airbags with adaptive cruise control and 360-degree camera support.
