Proton eMas 7 open for booking, from RM120k est – EV’s interior shown for first time at ACE, come see it!

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, involving 230 Proton engineers and designers, 700,000 man hours and over 10 million km worth of testing. The front-mounted electric motor produces 160 kW (218 PS) and 320 Nm of torque, propelling the fastest-accelerating Proton ever to 100 km/h from rest in 6.9 seconds. Top speed is 175 km/h. By the way, Proton says that the SUV’s 0.275 Cd value has lower wind resistance than a bullet.

Revealed at ACE 2024 today are the EV’s two variants – Prime and Premium. The base Prime comes with a 49.52 kWh battery that’s good for 345 km of WLTP range (it’s good that Proton uses WLTP in its materials, the super optimistic CLTC is 440 km). The Premium gets a 60.22 kWh battery with 410 km WLTP range (Geely’s CLTC figure is 530 km).

For charging, the max DC rate is 80 kW for the 49.52 kWh battery and 100 kW for the 60.22 kWh unit, while AC charging is 11 kW max for both. Proton claims DC fast charging times of 20 minutes from 30-80% SoC, or 30 minutes for the more conventional 10-80% measurement. AC charging from 30-80% refills the smaller battery in 4.9 hours, or 6.1 hours for the 60.22 kWh unit.

The eMas 7 uses Geely’s new Aegis short blade lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery, which is claimed to have a very long life. Internal tests show that after 921 complete charge and discharge cycles, which is equivalent to 400,000 km mileage, battery state of health is 90.5%, which ‘far exceeds international standards’.

We need to talk about the interior, since we’re seeing it for the first time. Apart from badging and the fact that it’s RHD, the cabin is pretty much Galaxy E5, down to the slightly oblong-shaped two-spoke steering wheel, 10.2-inch instrument panel, 2.5K-resolution 15.4-inch infotainment touchscreen, two-level centre console and even the flowing lines motif on the centre console and seats.

The screens run on Flyme OS, developed by Geely-owned smartphone maker Meizu. The centre touchscreen controls various functions including air-con temperature and fan speed, drive modes, ADAS settings and the operation of the panoramic sunroof and sunshade. Also on is a colour head-up display. Music is piped through 16 Flyme Sound Wanos speakers, including in the front headrests.

Let’s talk stalks – right of the steering wheel is the Mercedes-style column-mounted gear selector; left controls indicators, front and rear wipers/washers, and manual/auto high beam toggle. The centre console houses a big volume knob and four physical buttons (front demister, recirculation, auto air-con and air-con on/off). Below these are swing-lid twin cupholders and a wireless phone charging pad. The armrest box holds a key fob-charging pad.

Besides offering storage, the lower level of the centre console features a 12V socket, a USB-A port and a USB-C port (you’ll also find USB-A and USB-C ports below the rear AC vents). The rear quarters are spacious, thanks to a flat floor and the long 2,750 mm wheelbase. There are storage drawers under the rear seats and under the rear AC vents, as well as underfloor storage in the boot, but there is no front trunk/frunk.

Speaking of storage, Proton touts a best in class 33 storage spaces. Aside from the 461L boot and 51L boot (1,877 litres with rear seats folded), there are 14 litres of under seat storage and the ‘hidden bridge’ is a 10.8-litre space.

Back to the two variants. The base Prime will get 18-inch alloys (225/55 Giti tyres), the 15.4-inch infotainment screen, remote control and Level 2 ADAS (yes, ADAS is standard for the first time on a Proton).

The Premium adds on 19-inch alloys (235/50 Goodyear tyres), the 16-speaker sound system, head-up display and ventilated front seats. As for Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, it won’t be available at launch but expect an OTA update next year. Click on the full spec sheet above.

The available colours are Platinum Silver, Turquoise Green, Slate Grey, Quartz Rose and Lithium White – check out Geely’s colours for the Galaxy E5 above. There’s only one Indigo Blue shade for the cabin, which appears very much like black. We’ve put a full interior gallery below for your perusal, but really, there’s nothing like seeing it for yourself. Come to ACE 2024 for a closer look at Proton’s first EV, and bring your family for a fitting session.

          Proton is still running. Locals working in Proton still have money to feed families. So you prefer Geely leave? Proton might bankrupt.

        The Galaxy E5 was eventually launched in China in August, with a starting price of just 109,800 yuan (RM65,100). Even dressed to the nines with all the tech and the biggest battery, the car tops out at 145,800 yuan (RM86,400).

        Which confuses me… Thought EV are currently tax free? Is there some other type of tax which is pushing up the EV prices?

          This is not a Malaysia thing. EVs are universally cheaper in China compared to anywhere else. In the UK the Tesla Model 3 starts at GBP 39,900. In China it starts at the equivalent of GBP 25,000. In the US the Model 3 starts at USD 38,990, but an equivalent of USD 32,000 in China.

          Cheap access to raw materials (China is the largest producer of steel, cobalt, and nickel), low labour costs, ‘relatively’ low demands (less than 7% of car sales in China are full EVs), EXTREME competition (there are over 20 major domestic brands alone making and selling EVs), and subsidies and government incentives. China government can afford some hefty subsidies, which shouldn’t be a surprise to all of you since China is the 2nd strongest economy in the world. Look at all their exports.

        Meladam, the worst thing is there is no tax currently on EVs in Malaysia ! The RM85k in China price for the Galaxy E5 top version is inclusive of markup for profit. Note that in Malaysia completely built up (CBU) EVs were granted full import and excise duty exemption for four years from January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2025. Components for locally assembled EVs are currently fully exempted from an import duty for six years until 31 December 31, 2027. Also note that according to MITI’s Franchise AP policy, a new Completely Built Up (CBU) EV can only be imported into Malaysia only if its price tag in our market is above RM100,000. Similar to the import and excise duties exemptions mentioned earlier, this policy will last until 31 December 2025. Hope PMX gomen can get rid of this MITI policy in 2026 so M40 and B40 rakyat can enjoy EVs like BYD Seagull which is currently selling at around RM50k in Phillipines.

      Just change from LHD to RHD and claim it took several thousand hours of manpower to do the ‘technically complex and challenging’ conversion. Oh and maybe say they always utilized Proton’s patented 3-point engine mount solution

      Why the Roslan dude is so turtle slow?`
      BYD’s blockbuster EV MPV M6 was launched less than 2 weeks ago.Thousands have placed their bookings with Sime darby.Alto this is a EV SUV,the pricing seems a bit steep for a rebadged Geely.
      Slow loris Roslan could have launched it 2 days earlier than BYD..and garner earlier bookings.
      If P1 cant design any vehicle locally,Geely might as well divorce P1..set up Geely Berhad,and sell right handed versions of all their EVs and ICE cars.Then Perodua will be really Nombor 2.P1 can keep selling their Campro powered cars till they call it a day.

    Soo solly Proton you are too Geelydee I will be buying BYD M6 MPV instead as only RM123k for top version. This rebadged Galaxy E5 in China starting price only 109,800 yuan (RM65,100). Even dressed to the nines with all the tech and the biggest battery, the car tops out at 145,800 yuan (RM86,400). Don’t tell me shipping cost RM60k! So obvious Proton wanna potong rakyat leher!

    Proton established in 1983 as “national budget car” company. Now you let down the Rakyat by introducing a EV at 120k. :(
    When is the Rakyat getting the affordable National EV car @ RM 60k ?

    Proton, I don’t need the 19″ wheels on the higher spec, I need more range and not heavier wheels.. 19″ tires are freaking expensive. Just give us 18″ as standard..
    I know you are trying to reduce body roll by offering 19″ wheels but we are not taking corners at 100km/h in an SUV..

    The slide show says the interior is “Indigo Blue” but the interior looks like all black to me? Was hoping for lighter interior that looks much more upmarket like in the Geely.

    Proton willing to offer Pink exterior yet go so safe on the interior.

    The top spec also seem to exclude massaging seats and front seat ottoman found on the Geely. Time will tell how much more to top up for the Premium.

    it takes only 5 minutes to refuel a petrol/diesel car to full tank. Hell even if you use hand crank pump to refuel until full, it still wont take as long as an EV. what happens if you forgotten to plug in and charge it when you come back after work? i guess next morning you take public transportation or grab? hahaha.
