As a popular entry-level sedan in the Malaysian market, the Perodua Bezza currently offers two transmission options to meet the needs of different users. The 1.0-liter model is equipped with a traditional 4-speed automatic transmission (4AT), while the 1.3-liter model comes with a more advanced Dual-Mode CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission). This CVT transmission enhances driving pleasure by simulating seven virtual gears and also takes fuel economy into account. It's worth noting that the CVT transmission has become the preferred choice for many modern small cars thanks to its smooth shifting experience and optimized power transmission efficiency. On the other hand, the 4AT transmission stands out for its simple structure and low maintenance costs, making it suitable for consumers with limited budgets.
Given the hilly and congested road conditions in Malaysia, both transmissions of the Bezza have undergone local tuning. The 1.3L CVT version is particularly well-suited for stop-and-go driving situations. Its hill-hold assist function also provides additional safety in hill towns like Penang or Cameron Highlands. Whether you're a user who values economy or one who pursues driving comfort, you can find a suitable option in Bezza's transmission configurations. This differentiated powertrain strategy also reflects Perodua's in - depth understanding of the diverse needs of Malaysian consumers.
