Ever the industrious renderer, Photoshop wizard Theophilus Chin has been at work once more – this time dreaming up the forthcoming second-generation Perodua Bezza. In his personal phrases, he has rendered the automobile a number of occasions, most lately final July utilizing the newest Axia as a base.
This newest effort hasn’t introduced a lot new to the desk – the entrance half of the automobile has nonetheless been lifted straight from the Axia. The wheels have not less than been modified to the five-split-spoke ones from the bottom Ativa X, which in these author’s eyes look extra aesthetically pleasing than the Axia’s multi-spokes.
Nevertheless it’s the rear that has seen the largest revision – the roofline now slopes additional in the direction of the rear, the house within the C-pillar being crammed by quarter-light home windows aft of the rear doorways, making a six-window graphic alongside the perimeters.
The marginally out-of-proportion rear finish can also be very brief – nice for balancing out the also-diminutive entrance, not so nice for boot house (which isn’t precisely the Perodua manner). It’s a far cry from the dumpy appears of the present Bezza.
There are not any prizes for guessing the place the person parts are from – the taillights and rear quantity plate garnish have been lifted from the Ativa, whereas the rear bumper (with its black diffuser-style insert) and aforementioned aspect window graphic are from the Proton S70, as Chin himself alluded to.
Clearly, we nonetheless don’t know what the precise next-gen Bezza – which will likely be exported to different ASEAN nations sporting the Daihatsu badge for the primary time – will seem like, however it is going to probably have a unique entrance finish remedy in comparison with the Axia – similar to how the present mannequin has a novel face not shared with the unique Axia.
ACSDC contest winners – Professional winner Kenny Chan’s design proven
Perodua has additionally stated that the brand new mannequin will derive some inspiration from the winners of the Asian Compact Sedan Design Problem (ACSDC) 2023, a contest the nationwide carmaker held together with the Malaysian Design Council.
The winners have been solely introduced in December, so it’s probably that the Bezza’s design hasn’t been finalised, if it has even began in any respect – Perodua’s vp Datuk Ahmad Suhaimi Hashim has already stated as a lot by revealing that the automobile is nonetheless on the drafting board. As such, count on to wait not less than a yr earlier than the subsequent Bezza truly involves fruition.
Because it’s nonetheless a methods away, we don’t have any technical specs to go on, however we are able to wager our backside greenback that the Bezza will likely be primarily based on the identical Daihatsu New International Platform (DNGA) because the Axia. It might additionally share that automobile’s 67 hp/91 Nm 1.0 litre three-cylinder engine, however on condition that Perodua is set to introduce its first electrical car on the finish of subsequent yr, may we additionally see an EV model of the corporate’s bestselling mannequin?
