Verdict
For Malaysian buyers, the Proton eMas 7 costs RM103,800 against the Aion ES’s RM106,800. That RM3,000 saving brings 215 hp, 320 Nm and a 6.9-second 0-100 km/h time, plus faster 11 kW AC and 80 kW DC charging. The Aion answers with the larger 55.2 kWh battery and a 442 km stated range, 97 km beyond the Proton’s 345 km, while annual road tax is RM70 instead of RM200. Choose the sedan for range and lower running tax; take the SUV for pace, charging and its specified safety kit.
Pick the Aion ES if the 442 km stated range, 55.2 kWh battery and RM70 annual road tax matter more than performance or charging speed.
Pick the Proton eMas 7 if you want 215 hp, 320 Nm, 6.9-second acceleration and faster 11 kW AC/80 kW DC charging for RM3,000 less.
