Aion ES vs Proton eMas 7
Verdict
The Proton eMas 7 is the quicker, more safety-documented buy: RM103,800 gets 215 hp, 0-100 km/h in 6.9 seconds, 175 km/h top speed, six airbags, AEB and a 5-star ASEAN NCAP rating. The Aion ES costs RM106,800, but counters with a larger 55.2 kWh battery, 442 km range, lower RM70 annual road tax and an 8-year warranty. Same 2,750 mm wheelbase, different priorities: SUV pace and safety clarity versus sedan range and running-cost neatness.
Pick the Aion ES if you want the longer 442 km EV range, lower RM70 road tax and sedan body.
Pick the Proton eMas 7 if you want stronger 215 hp performance, an SUV body and stated safety kit.
