Yes, this is an interesting rumor. If that in an investment bank’s research note to be believed, Perodua is said to be working on introducing a new sedan this year. According to a report by RHB Investment Bank, this model is understood to be the next generation replacement for the current D63D. bezzawhich Released in 2016 and innovation in 2020.
It sounds tempting, but let’s see how practical that suggestion is. We know the national carmaker will launch a brand new model-changing vehicle (FMC) this year and everything so far points towards Brand new Axiawith the supposed D74A going to debut in mid-February in Malaysia.
This timeline has been bolstered by information from the sales network that dealers are rushing to liquidate existing Axia inventories and that no new units will be shipped from the factory this month. .
For regular P2 referral strategy launch one FMC and one upgrade per year, the likely scenario in 2023 would be the launch of Axia and the arrival of an upgrade, likely for AruzThis is the oldest model in the automaker’s range.
A new Bezza, if it follows the trend applied to the current model, an Axia-based sedan, will take some time to launch. If you follow the normal cycle, it will be at some point in the next year, i.e. a year later than the Axis.
Unless, of course, the development of the new Perodua sedan has been more advanced than we thought, working in the direction of a Perodua version of Toyota Vios fourth generation. Earlier this month, Daihatsu filed an image patent of an unnamed sedan, has striking similarities with Vios, with the General Department of Intellectual Property (DGIP) of Indonesia. Rumor has it that Perodua had a hand in developing the Vios, so the theory could hold a bit of water.
If an all-new Bezza arrives this year, it will likely be produced on a bullish basis. Entering 2023, the automaker said it will keep the prices of the modelsbut an entirely new model would allow it to potentially redefine pricing.
However, there is still a long waiting list for Bezza, with high demand from buyers to use as taxis and Grab cars, so bringing in a new – and potentially more expensive – vehicle will It’s not really an easy thing. As of January 11, the wait time for a Bezza 1.0 G automatic – for orders through December 2022 – can be as long as 7.5 months, as short as 6.5 months for the manual version 1.0 G.
