Verdict
At RM106,800, the Aion ES costs RM3,000 more than the RM103,800 Proton eMas 7, but its 55.2-kWh battery is rated for 442 km, 97 km farther than the Proton’s 345 km. That matters on intercity runs, and the ES also carries RM70 annual road tax against RM200. The eMas 7 answers with 215 hp and 320 Nm versus 136 hp and 225 Nm, plus 11-kW AC and 80-kW DC charging against 6.6 kW and 60 kW. Its 461-litre boot is only 11 litres bigger. Choose shape as much as numbers: this is sedan against SUV.
Pick the Aion ES if a 442-km claimed range and RM70 annual road tax matter more than stronger performance and faster charging.
Pick the Proton eMas 7 if you want 215 hp, 320 Nm, faster 11-kW AC and 80-kW DC charging, plus SUV practicality.
