Proton, through its Pro-Net EV division, recently opened the order books for the eMas 7 (stylised as e.MAS 7), which is estimated to start from RM120,000. Expected to be launched sometime in December (likely coinciding with KLIMS 2024), the brand’s first EV will be offered in two variants called the Prime and Premium.
If you’re not sure which one to get, we’re here to help. In this post, we’re comparing both variants so you know what you’re getting with each. Before getting into the difference, let’s first focus on what is the same for all versions of the eMas 7 that are set to go on sale.
First up, both variants share the same electric motor at the front that is rated at 218 PS (215 hp or 160 kW) and 320 Nm of torque. This is good for a 0-100 km/h time of 6.9 seconds and a top speed of 175 km/h.

As for equipment, the eMas 7 comes standard with automatic LED headlamps, active high beam control, pop-out door handles, roof rails, rain-sensing wipers, powered side mirrors (with heating function), a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster, 15.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a multi-function steering wheel.
The list continues with leatherette upholstery, a six-way powered driver’s seat, keyless entry and start, walk away auto lock, a wireless phone charging pad as well as single-zone climate control with N95 filter and rear vents.
On the safety and driver assistance front, there are six airbags (front, side, curtain), brake auto hold, a..

The highlight of the paultan.org Auto Car Expo (ACE) may be the new Proton eMas 7 (stylised as e.MAS 7), but the rest of the Proton stand at Setia City Convention Centre (SCCC) is still worth visiting, as there are great deals on the flagship X90.
Offered on the three-row SUV is a cash rebate of up to RM3,000 and two years of free service worth RM2,175. To recap, the X90 is offered in four variants, all featuring a 190 PS/300 Nm 1.5-litre mild hybrid turbocharged engine, driving the front wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
Visitors who test drive, place a booking and register a new Proton vehicle will also stand a chance to win a grand prize of a Proton S70 sedan through a lucky draw, as part of the Year-End Proton Vaganza campaign.

Of course, one can’t ignore the presence of the forthcoming eMas 7, which makes its public debut here ahead of its December launch. Developed alongside its Geely Galaxy E5 twin, Malaysia’s first production electric vehicle comes with an estimated price of RM120,000. It’s powered by a 218 PS/320 Nm front motor juiced by a choice of 49.52 and 60.22 kWh lithium iron polymer (LFP) batteries, providing a WLTP-rated range of 345 km and 410 km respectively.
Interested? Then head on over to ACE 2024, happening today and tomorrow, October 26 and 27 at SCCC. There are plenty of other promos from the myriad of participating brands, and if you purchase a car at ACE 2024 you’ll receive RM3,000 in vouchers. Entrance is..

Proton’s first production EV is now open for booking nationwide, from RM120,000 estimated! The national carmaker has unveiled the Proton eMas 7 (stylised as e.MAS 7) on the first day of the paultan.org Auto Car Expo (ACE) 2024 at the Setia City Convention Centre, and the interior is open to the public for the first time. Free entry, so come and see it for yourself.
On top of that very attractive RM120k estimated starting price (this is a larger and much more modern SUV than the X70), Proton has announced a ‘Pioneer Privilege Deal’ that comes with a RM500 rebate and a gift pack worth RM1,000. This offer is valid from today till the eMas 7’s launch date, which has been confirmed to be sometime in December (possibly at KLIMS 2024). The booking fee is RM500.
Price/package and specs aside (more on this below), Proton also announced the launch of the ‘e.MAS App’ at ACE 2024. The app is described as a ‘dynamic platform designed to enhance the user experience from booking through ownership’. The app simplifies managing vehicle booking, scheduling services and accessing Malaysia’s EV charging network. This sounds like a Proton version of the Hello smart app, which is a good thing. By the way, Proton eMas is handled by EV division Pro-Net, which also manages smart.

We already know quite a bit about the eMas 7 – it’s based on the Geely Galaxy E5, but Proton says the two companies worked together concurrently on the model..

Proton has announced it is offering exclusive promos on its Saga sedan to Grab driver-partners. This comes after the national carmaker signed a memorandum of agreement (MoA) with the ride-hailing service today.
Starting November 4, the company will introduce the “Saga Power Up for Grab Drivers” campaign, offering “priority access” to Saga ownership. The perks include exclusive incentives and deals such as cash rebates and a five per cent service discount, the latter valid for the first two years or 40,000 km.
Proton says there is no limit on the amount of Sagas each driver-partner buys during the promo period, provided they meet Grab Malaysia’s requirements. In addition, Grab will provide an additional RM500 to new drivers who purchase a Saga and activate their Grab Driver account.

The partnership is aimed at improving Proton’s standing in the Malaysian ride-hailing industry, which is currently dominated by the Saga’s chief rival, the Perodua Bezza. The company claims it recognises the “significant potential” in the industry for entry-level models like the Saga, the reliability and affordability of which is said to make it an “attractive choice for drivers.”
“Proton is thrilled to collaborate with Grab Malaysia to support the e-hailing industry by offering our iconic model, the Proton Saga, to Grab driver-partners. Its reliability and affordable maintenance costs are important factors for entrepreneurs who use cars as their pri..

Every new model from a national carmaker is greatly anticipated, and so it is with the Proton eMas 7. What if it was given a sportier aesthetic by the carmaker’ motorsport division R3? Here, visual rendering maestro Theophilus Chin has offered his take on what an R3-styled version of the electric SUV could be like.
In comparison with real-life R3 editions of Proton’s production models like the Saga R3 Limited Edition and the Iriz R3 Limited Edition, this R3-styled rendition of the eMas 7 is even more sparing with its use of yellow highlights over a black exterior.
For a start, this eMas 7 does without the yellow band over the middle of its front fascia as well as on the front lower lip, where the contrasting trim is located on the Saga and Iriz variants. The eMas 7 does, however feature the contrasting yellow strips at the corners of the front bumper.
Along its sides, Theo follows the prevailing R3 theme where the yellow contrast is applied to the sills, as well as the side mirror covers, while its alloy wheels continue to be of a two-tone finish.

At the rear, the bodywork of the eMas 7 is carried over, and has been given the R3 contrasting yellow highlights on the lower sections of its rear bumper, with an R3 badge located directly below the eMas 7 badge on the tailgate, with the Proton badging remaining in place in the centre.
As for the upcoming Proton eMas 7, the electric SUV has been confirmed to share the powertrain from the Galaxy E5, which is the single, fr..
