Perodua Bezza vs Proton Persona
These two barely overlap (one pair at the top of the Bezza and the bottom of the Persona) but that pair is close enough that some buyers still choose between them.
Published by bandingcar. Updated: 10 August 2026
One pair, two different ladders
The Persona range starts near the Bezza AV and walks up through Executive and Premium with no Bezza counterpart at those prices. The cheaper Bezza grades sit below the Persona entirely.
That makes this page narrower than Bezza against Saga. It exists because the mutual match is real, not because the two models compete rung for rung.
The variants that actually compete
A single pair survives the mutual-nearest-neighbour test. Every other variant on both sides is unpaired, and the table names what outbid it.
The closest match is the Bezza AV against the Persona Standard: RM2,180 apart.
| Perodua Bezza | Proton Persona | Difference |
|---|---|---|
| AV · RM49,980 | Standard · RM47,800 | RM2,180 |
Variants with no counterpart
- Bezza G Manual at RM34,580. Its nearest rival is the Standard, RM13,220 away, but the Standard is nearer still to the AV (RM2,180), so that is the pairing shown above. It also sits below the bottom of the other range, so nothing there undercuts it.
- Bezza G Auto at RM36,580. Its nearest rival is the Standard, RM11,220 away, but the Standard is nearer still to the AV (RM2,180), so that is the pairing shown above. It also sits below the bottom of the other range, so nothing there undercuts it.
- Bezza X at RM43,980. Its nearest rival is the Standard, RM3,820 away, but the Standard is nearer still to the AV (RM2,180), so that is the pairing shown above. It also sits below the bottom of the other range, so nothing there undercuts it.
- Persona Executive at RM53,300. Its nearest rival is the AV, RM3,320 away, but the AV is nearer still to the Standard (RM2,180), so that is the pairing shown above. It also sits above the top of the other range, so nothing there reaches it on price.
- Persona Premium at RM58,300. Its nearest rival is the AV, RM8,320 away, but the AV is nearer still to the Standard (RM2,180), so that is the pairing shown above. It also sits above the top of the other range, so nothing there reaches it on price.
What the money buys at each step
At this price step you are choosing between a fully loaded Bezza AV with Perodua A.S.A. and a Persona Standard whose official specification does not publish the same driver-assistance list.
Capabilities are grouped by what they do for a driver. Where a brand stays silent on its spec sheet, the row reads not listed.

How to choose
If you want the Bezza against a Proton sedan at matching money across more of the ladder, use the Bezza vs Saga page instead, that pair overlaps far more thoroughly.
If the budget is specifically at the Bezza AV / Persona Standard step, work the capability rows above and buy whichever equipment list you would actually use.

Frequently asked questions
- Should I compare the Bezza with the Saga instead?
- Usually yes. Bezza and Saga overlap across multiple automatic grades. This page only covers the one mutual pair against the Persona Standard.
- Which is cheaper at the matched step?
- The table on this page shows the Bezza AV against the Persona Standard with the real ringgit gap. Any answer that compares the cheapest Bezza against the cheapest Persona is comparing different parts of each ladder.
- Does the Persona Standard have AEB?
- Proton's Persona specification does not name automatic emergency braking on the Standard grade the same way Perodua publishes A.S.A. on the Bezza AV. Check the capability table for the matched pair rather than assuming the whole model.
