Perodua
Among the 15 Perodua entries in the MotorJury library, the Perodua Bezza holds its own page in a catalogue built to record every car ever made, from series production to one-off concepts. The record places its introduction in 2016. The photography on this page is hotlinked from Wikimedia Commons under an open licence, with the photographer credited on every frame.
To read the Perodua Bezza properly it helps to place it in its decade. The 2010s were the decade electrification stopped being a science project — Tesla forced the incumbents' hand, downsized turbo engines replaced displacement, and the crossover conquered every market. Any car launched into that world was shaped by it — by what materials, engineering and regulation allowed, and by what buyers of the day demanded. Its direct contemporaries in this catalogue, introduced within three years of it, include the Chevrolet Chevrolet Bolt, the Chevrolet Chevrolet Camaro, the Ferrari Ferrari 488 — the cars a buyer of the period would actually have cross-shopped.
On paper, the Perodua Bezza reads like this: the record lists its engine as Petrol engine / Petrol: / 1.0 L Toyota KR engine#1KR-VE / 1KR-VE Straight-three engine / I3 / 1.3 L Toyota NR engine#1NR-VE / 1NR-VE Straight-four engine / I4; kerb weight is recorded at 865 –; drive goes through 5-speed Manual transmission / manual / 4-speed Automatic transmission / automatic; the layout is Front-engine, front-wheel drive. Every figure above is a manufacturer specification carried by the Wikipedia infobox or the open Wikidata record for this model — nothing on this page is estimated, and where a source is silent the row simply does not appear.
Within Perodua's own catalogue the Perodua Bezza sits alongside the Perodua Nautica, the Perodua Alza, the Perodua Alza (M500), the Perodua Aruz. Design is credited to Muhamad Zamuren Musa. Assembly is recorded at Malaysia: Serendah ( ).
This library is generated, verified and rebuilt from the open record on every deploy. The catalogue skeleton comes from Wikidata, specifications from Wikipedia's infoboxes under CC BY-SA, photography from Wikimedia Commons under each file's own licence, and the ownership data from United States federal safety records. Nothing is written by hand and nothing is invented: every fact on this page traces to a public source, and every page is rebuilt nightly as those sources improve. Errors in the source record will appear here too — and disappear the night the source is corrected.
Most car databases stop at series production. This one deliberately does not, because concept cars, racing specials and cancelled prototypes are where the industry thinks out loud — the ideas tested in public years before they reach a showroom. Holding them beside the production cars they inspired makes the lineage legible: nearly every landmark road car in this library has a concept ancestor somewhere in the catalogue, and the connections run through the era links on every page.
A specification sheet is only half a car's story. The other half — what breaks, what it costs to keep, which years to avoid — lives in MotorJury's ownership database, computed nightly from federal complaint and recall records and EPA economy data. Where the Perodua Bezza was sold in the United States, its model years carry full ownership verdicts there.
Specifications come from the Wikipedia infobox for this model (CC BY-SA) and the open Wikidata record, and are shown only where a source actually carries them — nothing here is estimated. Figures are manufacturer specifications, not measured results.
