There has been no shortage of exterior wraps for the Proton eMas 7, and the movement continues with this one, which dresses up the all-electric SUV in a striking chrome finish, replete with a pattern consisting of dotted shaped decals.
On display at KLIMS 2024, the Nadi eMas 7 is, as its suffix implies, a pulse on sustainability, with the aim being to see how many kilogrammes of CO2 can be reduced annually with each eMas7 on the road. The SUV isn’t yet, of course, but this is the last masking exercise for it, as it is set to be launched on December 16.
Given all that has been seen and written about it, everyone should know the eMas 7 well enough by now, but let’s recap it once more. It’s based on the Geely Galaxy E5, which incidentally has just made its way to Thailand as the EX5, 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.
Motive power is provided by a front-mounted electric motor producing 214 hp (218 PS, or 160 kW) and 320 Nm of torque. This is good enough to make the eMas 7 the fastest-accelerating Proton ever from standstill to 100 km/h, with 6.9 seconds needed for that. Meanwhile, top speed is 175 km/h.
The EV will go on sale in two variant forms, these being the Prime and Premium, and both get different battery capacities. The base Prime is equipped with a 49.52 kWh battery that offers up to 345 km of WLTP-rated travel, while the Premium has a 60.22 kWh battery that provides a range of 410 km (again, WLTP).
As for charging, the maximum 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 for both. Claimed DC fast charging times is 20 minutes from 30-80% SoC, or 30 minutes for the more conventional 10-80% measurement, while AC charging from 30-80% refills the smaller capacity pack in 4.9 hours, and 6.1 hours for the larger unit.
Pricing for the eMas7 is expected to start from RM120,000, but we’ll know soon enough how much it costs when the wraps (ha!) finally come off it on December 16. In the meantime, read our first impressions of it here.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
I think eMas 7 (and especially its incoming PHEV variant) are gonna be big hits and sell very well.
The exterior design is fluid and sleek too, but this blue polkadot wrap… makes it look like the car is infected with syphilis or something..
for sure proton will come up with more reasons why all other countries have this “national” car earlier than malaysia
Where are the showrooms? Supposed to be different from Proton showrooms right? Do you see any so far?
dont waste time with these stupid wraps
Protong is doing itself harm by all these stupid annoying wraps.Buyers want to see the real color,not striptease.
Just start collect bookings,Mr Turtle DRB ..apa nama the dude? oh..belum nyanyok..itu Ruslan dude.
China Evs n hybrids started a massive blockbuster launching and booking exercise already.
All the Japanese brand CEOs are having sleepless nights with the China car tsunamis.
Matter of time,Geely will keep Tanjong Malim as “glorified showcase” while they go Thailand to go big in exports.
If the prmium is priced below RM120K it will sell well, anything above RM120K, I will cancel my booking as I will take the MYVI EV instead
Just cross the border and buy the real thing in Thailand..
and stay there
Wrap here wrap there. Show off China product and then sell more expensive here
Lagi baik beli emas 24k ada naik harga
Geely (China) guna nombor / siri 5. Thailand pun siri 5. Malaysia angkat bakul sendiri jadi 7. Feeling superior unnecessarily.
